Abstract:This paper takes positive psychology concepts from the domain of individual psychology and applies them to the workplace. The adaptation of the Approaches to Happiness Questionnaire, developed by Martin Seligman, suggests that three dimensions of pleasure, engagement and meaning are relevant to employees in organisations. Additionally, Seligeman's classification of Character Strenghts and Virtues is explored. Their relevance for workplace performance is also discussed. In conclusion, the paper suggests how positive psychology can be further explored in organisations in relation to motivation, personality, identity, reputation, strategy and governance.
