The article "Emerging Positive Organizational Behavior" by Fred Luthans and Carolyn M. Youssef explores the growing importance of positivity in organizational behavior, leadership, and human resource management. The authors review various positive traits, state-like psychological resource capacities, organizations, and behaviors, emphasizing their potential to enhance performance and organizational success. Key positive traits discussed include the Big Five personality traits, core self-evaluations, and character strengths. State-like psychological resource capacities such as efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience are highlighted for their malleability and developmental potential. The article also introduces the concept of Psychological Capital (PsyCap), which integrates self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resiliency to create a comprehensive framework for understanding and developing positive psychological resources in the workplace. The authors argue that a balanced approach that considers both positive and negative aspects of the workplace is necessary for achieving sustainable success in today's competitive environment. They conclude with recommendations for future research and practical applications, emphasizing the need for more focused theory building and effective management of positive traits and behaviors.The article "Emerging Positive Organizational Behavior" by Fred Luthans and Carolyn M.
