Positive Organizational Behavior

The purpose of this study is to develop a model of positive organizational behavior with an emphasis on environmental consequences and also to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of positive organizational behavior with individual, organizational, and environmental consequences. This is an applied research with an integrated method (qualitative-quantitative). The statistical population of the study included water and sewage industry experts and faculty members (20 people) who were sampled by snowball technique. For the quantitative part, 120 water and sewage workers in the country (2019-2020) were selected through the relative selection technique. Data collection tools include semi-structured interviews and researcher-made questionnaires. Qualitative data were analyzed by open, axial, and selective coding methods, and MAXQDA11, Smart PLS2, and SPSS23 were used to analyze the content of data and validation. In the quantitative part, content validity is used. The reliability and evaluation of measures were estimated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient method (89%). Findings from the present study showed that positive organizational behavior can be analyzed in five levels (individual, group, organizational, social, and environmental) and in the form of six categories (causal factors, characteristics, strategies, platforms, interventionists, consequences). Also, positive organizational behavior has a positive and significant relationship with environmental (0.711), behavioral (0.631), organizational outcomes (0.685). Therefore, it is necessary to model successful and leading organizations in the field of positive organizational behavior, training and holding workshops in the field of environment, creating a positive organizational atmosphere in order to achieve sustainable development of the environment.

Purpose : This study aims to develop a model of organizational vitality through a positive organizational behavior lens for the digital management era, utilizing a meta-synthesis approach. Method : A comprehensive search of various databases was conducted using keywords related to organizational vitality and positive organizational behavior, informed by data mining techniques. The initial search yielded 2,151 publications from 2011 to 2019. Following a systematic screening process, 1,468 works were excluded based on title, 429 based on abstract, and 217 based on a full-text review, as they did not align with the study's purpose and research questions. Consequently, 37 publications that were pertinent to organizational vitality and positive organizational behavior in the context of digital management were selected for in-depth analysis via meta-synthesis. Findings : A meticulous review of the selected sources led to the extraction of components and indicators constituting organizational vitality within the framework of positive organizational behavior in the digital management context. The resultant model is organized into 2 overarching concepts, 16 distinct components, and 123 specific indicators. Conclusion : The findings from prior research were systematically evaluated and analyzed using a qualitative research approach and a seven-step meta-synthesis methodology grounded in data mining. This process culminated in the proposed integrative model.
