Abstract:
For a long time, psychologists have focused on how to increase employee productivity.
Positive psychologists began to fill literature gap by addressing the impact of positive traits on employee
performance and organizational productivity, as well as how to improve the same by identifying these
traits and developing organizational policies based on them, with the advent of positive psychology.
Unlike traditional psychology, Positive psychology concentrates on the positive personality features of
employees rather than the individual’s negative psychological aspects. This study examines the effects
of three positive qualities i.e. optimism, well-being and personal strength on employee productivity and
a result organizational productivity. The study focuses on these three positive characteristics,
identification and formulation of strategy based on them, with the goal of improving employee
performance and thus productivity. The study suggests a ‘method’ and ‘framework’ to reflect the
connections between positive psychology, employee performance and organizational productivity. The
framework was used to generate hypotheses and a questionnaire was created.
A questionnaire was given to employees in a certain company. The framework was used to
generate hypotheses and a questionnaire was created to collect data to validate the validity of the
postulated links. The questionnaire was given to employees in a certain company. Each theory was put
to test with the findings. The findings revealed some fascinating findings, demonstrating that
implementing positive psychology concepts and individual positive traits such as optimism, well-being
and personal strength at work improves employee performance and thus organizational productivity as
evidenced by the acceptance of all hypotheses after data analysis.
