A Socially Embedded Model of Thriving at Work
构建了一个模型，阐述员工在工作中蓬勃发展的社会嵌入性，解释工作环境如何促进能动行为进而产生资源并驱动蓬勃发展，同时指出蓬勃发展作为自我适应指南的作用。
Thriving describes an individual’s experience of vitality and learning. The primary goal of this paper is to develop a model that illuminates the social embeddedness of employees’ thriving at work. First, we explain why thriving is a useful theoretical construct, define thriving, and compare it to related constructs, including resilience, flourishing, subjective well-being, flow, and self-actualization. Second, we describe how work contexts facilitate agentic work behaviors, which in turn produce resources in the doing of work and serve as the engine of thriving. Third, we describe how thriving serves as a gauge to facilitate self-adaptation at work. We conclude by highlighting key theoretical contributions of the model and suggesting directions for future research.
