Resumo(s)
The work reported in this thesis addresses the research question of when and how
positive psychological states impact positive behavior and positive organizational
development. We present two theoretical essays and three empirical studies to find
possible answers to this question and we use a multitude of methodologies with
different epistemological assumptions, including quantitative correlation analysis, social
network analysis and qualitative grounded theory analysis. In the whole, our work
shows that positive psychological states are fundamental to promote individual and
organizational higher-levels of performance and well-being. It also points that the
capability to induce positive psychological states in others (an “alter-positive”
approach) is a powerful way to develop outstanding individuals and organizations. In a
broader sense, it stresses the need to promote good vibrations as a fundamental route to
create a better world.
