Top management in organizations have begun to realize that innovative employees add to the competitive edge of a company which serves to maintain their position in intense market competition. For this purpose, management needs to seek new ways to combine the social environment and employees in the workplace in an inextricable manner that supports innovation. The purpose of this paper was to examine the role of thriving at work and its effects on an individual’s innovative behavior. Based on the socially embedded model of thriving, we aimed to assess the relevant related work on structured potential effects with relational ties (i.e., strong versus weak). Particularly, these ties affect the heedful relating differently. This study examined the antecedents of thriving at work and the innovative behavior among employees at a global investment company. Using partial least squares modeling on a sample of 412 observations (strong and weak ties), strong support was found for the theory-driven hypothesized relationships. The results contribute to a better understanding of the relational roles concerning recently emerging constructs of “thriving at work” and “positive organizational scholarship.” The implications and limitations of this study are further discussed.

Riaz et al (2018) indicated that empowering leadership appears to provide employees with more motivation. This is consistent with the recommendation of Fritsch (2017), who claimed that individuals will be more productive and perform better if they are highly motivated.…”

Thriving at work: A meta‐analysis

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Thriving at work refers to a positive psychological state characterized by a joint sense of vitality and learning. On the basis of Spreitzer and colleagues' model, we present a comprehensive meta-analysis of antecedents and outcomes of thriving at work (K = 73 independent samples, N = 21,739 employees). Results showed that thriving at work is associated with individual characteristics, such as psychological capital (r c = .47), proactive personality (r c = .58), positive affect (r c = .52), and work engagement (r c = .64). Positive associations were also found between thriving at work and relational characteristics, including supportive coworker behavior (r c = .42), supportive leadership behavior (r c = .44), and perceived organizational support (r c = .63).Moreover, thriving at work is related to important employee outcomes, including health-related outcomes such as burnout (r c = −.53), attitudinal outcomes such as commitment (r c = .65), and performance-related outcomes such as task performance (r c = .35). The results of relative weights analyses suggest that thriving exhibits small, albeit incremental predictive validity above and beyond positive affect and work engagement, for task performance, job satisfaction, subjective health, and burnout.Overall, the findings of this meta-analysis support Spreitzer and colleagues' model and underscore the importance of thriving in the work context.
