dbpprop:abstract	Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS) is “the study of that which is positive, flourishing, and life-giving in organizations”. Positive refers to the elevating processes and outcomes in organizations. Organizational refers to the interpersonal and structural dynamics activated in and through organizations, specifically taking into account the context in which positive phenomena occur. Scholarship refers to the scientific, theoretically derived, and rigorous investigation of that which is positive in organizational settings. The use of the term Positive Organizational Scholarship began in 2001 with management scholars at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and was shortly followed by the creation of the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarshipin 2002. Its theoretical basis derives from organization theory, psychology, and sociology and its normative approach is directly related to the work of positive psychology. It is also connected to other traditions of positive scholarship such as appreciative inquiry and corporate social responsibility. For differences between Positive Organizational Scholarship and Positive Organizational Behavior see Luthans and Avolio (2009)
