This authoritative Wiley Blackwell Handbook in Organizational Psychology focuses on positivity and strengths-based approaches at work. The editors have drawn on their collective experience in collating thematically structured material from leading thinkers and practitioners based in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Coinciding with the growing international interest in the applications of psychology to organizations, the work offers a unique depth of analysis from an explicitly psychological perspective. Each chapter includes a detailed literature review that offers academics, researchers, scientist-practitioners, and students an invaluable frame of reference. Coverage is built around competencies set forth by regulatory agencies including the APA and BPS, and includes resilience, employee engagement, job crafting, authenticity, positive leadership development, and positive work relationships.
