本文系统地回顾了积极心理学干预在组织情境中的作用。我们将积极心理学干预描述为任何基于(a)积极主观体验的培养，(b)积极个人特征的建立，或(c)公民美德和积极制度的建立的有意活动或方法。一项系统的文献检索确定了15项研究，这些研究检验了这种干预在组织环境中的影响。对这些研究的后续分析表明，积极心理学干预似乎是提高员工幸福感和绩效的有前途的工具。作为一个副作用，积极心理学干预也倾向于减少压力和倦怠，并在较小程度上减少抑郁和焦虑。这些发现对理论和实践的意义，以及对未来积极心理学干预组织研究的建议进行了讨论。
This paper systematically reviews research investigating the effects of positive psychology interventions applied in the organizational context. We characterize a positive psychology intervention as any intentional activity or method that is based on (a) the cultivation of positive subjective experiences, (b) the building of positive individual traits, or (c) the building of civic virtue and positive institutions. A systematic literature search identified 15 studies that examined the effects of such an intervention in organizational contexts. Subsequent analyses of those studies revealed that positive psychology interventions seem to be a promising tool for enhancing employee well-being and performance. As a side-effect, positive psychology interventions also tend to diminish stress and burnout and to a lesser extent depression and anxiety. Implications of those findings for theory and praxis and recommendations for future research on positive psychology interventions in organizations are discussed.
