I am looking for outcomes (individual or organizational) related to the creation of a positive informal work environment. Can anybody recommend me articles on the topic? Thank you in advance.
[Actions I consider as 'creating a positive informal work environment': Demonstrate compassion; Value people; Encourage flourishing by inspiring positive emotions; creating positive relationships and articulating meaning; Foster trust and collaborative coherence; Create an environment of support and understanding; Create collaboration and built a level of commitment and ownership; Improve employee’s non-work life; Create a sense of global identity – a sense of belonging; etc.]
P.S.: At the same time I am also looking for outcomes (individual and/or organizational) related to the creation of formal work environment.
[Actions I consider as 'creating a positive formal work environment': Share knowledge / information; Making a long-term commitment to employees; Initiate communications / establish open communication channels; Involve employees in decision making; Paying above-market wages that enable a better quality of life; etc.]
It will foster learning, encourage knowledge sharing, improve quality of work-life, enhance happiness , enhance relatedness , help in finding meaning to life , enhance psychological capital, foster creative and innovative behavior, enhance retention among other.
Thank you Yogesh! I believe you are right. For my research i need sources. Do you have papers where these outcomes are reported? Thanks again for coming back to me. Marcel
Dear Marcel Meyer,
An article discussing the positive work environment was published in The Journal of Behavioral Science, by Perry Geue (2018): "Positive Practices in the Workplace: Impact on Team Climate, Work Engagement, and Task Performance".
Perhaps this article could help you in your research, as it addresses some theoretical elements related to the positive work environment. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0021886318773459?journalCode=jaba
