As explained in the following excerpt from the book: Psychology of José Francisco organization Palací Descals

"The discipline of psychology has been dominated almost exclusively by an interest in pathology, and this has led to the conception of man as almost 'free' of positive traits such as optimism, hope, creativity, responsibility, etc . The traditional focus of psychology, specifically the Psychology of Work and Organizations in the 'negative', for example, organizational conflict, absenteeism, job stress should be changed to a more positive focus typical of Psychology Organizational resources focused on labor and its potential motivator. In another place (see Salanova and Schaufeli, 2004) have argued that the starting point is that to survive and thrive in an environment of continuous change, organizations need to have motivated employees and psychologically 'healthy' and that to achieve this, human resource policies must be synchronized. The reason is that modern organizations are changing in a direction that is based more and more on psychological knowledge and experience. Modern organizations expect its employees to be proactive and show initiative, work with others to take responsibility for their own career development, and is com ¬ promise to excellence.

Obviously this can not be achieved with a workforce 'healthy' in the traditional style: employees satisfied with their jobs, who do not experience job stress, and show low rates of absenteeism. Something more is needed to implement all organizational machinery to achieve this goal. And here emerges the Positive Psychology (POP), which seeks to address these issues.

This chapter is divided into four main parts. First, lay the foundations of Positive Psychology and Positive Psychology, addressing the reasons that led to the discipline of psychology to focus on more positive psychological aspects of human functioning and organizational. This section will define the Positive Psychology, the object of study, its research method and the main organizational intervention strategies. Second, we will discuss the characteristics of individuals 'positive' status taken as dependent variables. Third, will try to clarify what we mean by organizations 'positive', that is, those organizations that structure a positive work environment and have an optimal performance. Then we finish this chapter with some ideas about the future of Positive Psychology on three fronts: research, professional practice and teaching-training. It also includes a practical exercise on the measurement of Work Engagement ".
