Abstract

Positive organizational psychology has rendered the newer generation a prospect of inducing positive work cultures in small/large-scale organizations and self-owned businesses. However, an individual’ work-life balance mediates an enchanting balance between personal and professional life. According to current terms and agendas documented to protect positive organizational psychology, this research aims to investigate factors that aggravate debilitating scenarios, situations, and workplace environments that hinder positivity. Moreover, it incorporates strategies devised through positive intervention programs or positive psychology interventions that foster constructive environments at work. Perceiving emotional psychology under professional aspects, this research recommends factors that surge employees' emotional intelligence and stability. This study conceptualizes existing research literature, manifesting positive mindsets that value employees’ personal, professional, emotional, and intrinsic traits. Adopting an interactive literature review concept, this research discusses research reviews, empirical research, and studies conducted on employee-organization behaviors that help nourish positive, like-minded organizational environments. It outlines existing gaps in the literature and develops concrete evidence for implementing strategies through positive psychological intervention programs. These programs strategize positive employee behaviors through tasks, activities, and interactive sessions that drive employee growth, consequently hampering professional bereavement. Employee-centered policies that replenish psychological interventional programs at workplace are needed to render provocative, present-minded personalities that focus on delivering positive behavioral attitudes.
