Positive organizational behavior: engaged employees in flourishing organizations
这篇社论介绍了《组织行为学杂志》关于积极组织行为学的特刊，强调研究员工积极特质、状态和行为，并指出需证明积极因素超越消极因素的附加价值。
Abstract This editorial introduces a special issue of the Journal of Organizational Behavior on positive organizational behavior (POB). POB emphasizes the need for more focused theory building, research, and effective application of positive traits, states, and behaviors of employees in organizations. We argue that in order to make a substantive contribution to organizational science, POB will need to show the added value of the positive over and above the negative. In addition, the emerging concept of employee engagement is briefly introduced. The papers in the special issue describe exciting positive organizational behavior studies that each tap into an interesting direction in which POB research might go.
