Özet

Günümüzün rekabetçi ve çalkantılı iş çevresinde, çalışanların teknolojik, ekonomik, siyasi, sosyal gelişme ve değişmeler karşısında daha verimli olmalarını ve örgütün rekabetçi gücünü artırmalarını sağlayacak çare arayışları, örgütsel davranış alanında yeni yaklaşımların doğmasını sağlamıştır.Psikolojide ortaya çıkan pozitif yaklaşım, uzun yıllardır zihinsel hastalıkları iyileştirmeye odaklanan psikolojinin, unutulan, "insanların hayatlarını daha anlamlı ve verimli kılma, potansiyellerini açığa çıkarma" misyonunu tekrar canlandırmıştır. Pozitif psikoloji hareketinin örgütsel davranışa uyarlanması neticesinde ortaya çıkan pozitif örgütsel davranış yaklaşımı, çalışanları hep olumsuz bakış açısıyla değerlendiren yöneticilerin, onları pozitif bir yaklaşımla değerlendirmeleri ve sahip oldukları pozitif psikolojik sermayelerini geliştirmeleri gereğini ortaya çıkarmıştır.Bu çalışmanın amacı, işletmelerin yenilenebilen ve geliştirilebilen rekabetçi kaynağı olan insan unsurunun sahip olduğu sermaye türü olan pozitif psikolojik sermaye kavramını ve bileşenlerini tanıtmak, işletmelerde bu sermaye türüne neden önem verilmesi gerektiğini, sürdürülebilir rekabet üstünlüğünü sağlama bakımından sahip olduğu rolü ortaya koyarak literatüre katkıda bulunmaktır.
