Organisational culture and positive psychological interventions: understanding the concept of positive organisational culture using a systematic review

This study provides a systematic review of empirical research on organisational culture and positive psychological interventions in workplace from January 2000 to March 2024. A comprehensive search was conducted using four databases: PsycArticles, PsycInfo, ProQuest, and Business Sources Premier. The key topics were Organisational Culture, Positive Psychology, and Interventions. After screenings, 39 papers were selected for systematic content analysis. This study explores the relationship between managing organisational culture through positive psychological interventions and employee well-being. The findings suggest that organisations implementing Positive Psychological Interventions focus on enhancing their organisational culture, aiming for a more positive environment by improving psychological and social work conditions. These improvements lead to better task performance across sectors, including healthcare, industry, public service, education, and non-profits. Additionally, the review highlights the limited research on positive psychological interventions aimed at shaping organisational culture. It calls for further investigation into how these interventions influence employee wellbeing in workplace.

Abstract

This study provides a systematic review of empirical research on organisational culture and positive psychological interventions in workplace from January 2000 to March 2024. A comprehensive search was conducted using four databases: PsycArticles, PsycInfo, ProQuest, and Business Sources Premier. The key topics were Organisational Culture, Positive Psychology, and Interventions. After screenings, 39 papers were selected for systematic content analysis. This study explores the relationship between managing organisational culture through positive psychological interventions and employee well-being. The findings suggest that organisations implementing Positive Psychological Interventions focus on enhancing their organisational culture, aiming for a more positive environment by improving psychological and social work conditions. These improvements lead to better task performance across sectors, including healthcare, industry, public service, education, and non-profits. Additionally, the review highlights the limited research on positive psychological interventions aimed at shaping organisational culture. It calls for further investigation into how these interventions influence employee wellbeing in workplace.
