Connecting Positive Psychology and Organizational Behavior Management: Achievement Motivation and the Power of Positive Reinforcement
Wiegand, Douglas M.; Geller, E. Scott
Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, v24 n1-2 p3-25 Jul 2005
Positive psychology is becoming established as a reputable sub-discipline in psychology despite having neglected the role of positive reinforcement in enhancing quality of life. The authors discuss the relevance of positive reinforcement for positive psychology, with implications for broadening the content of organizational behavior management. Specifically, literature in achievement motivation is discussed, and ways to promote success seeking over failure avoiding are entertained.
