journal contribution
posted on 2021-05-14, 07:55 authored by Michel Alexandra, Clarissa Groß, Annekatrin Hoppe, Gloria M. González-Morales, Anna Steidle, DEIRDRE O'SHEADEIRDRE O'SHEAPositive psychology research is increasingly being transferred to organizational contexts,
and organizations are increasingly striving for healthier and more motivated employees. In
this study, a three-week self-instructed online intervention which combines positive
activities and mindfulness was developed and evaluated using a randomized-controlled
group design with employees. All exercises could be easily integrated into the daily
working routine. The intervention is based on broaden-and-build theory, the two component model of mindfulness and the positive-activity model. Results indicate that the
intervention is effective in increasing work engagement, hope and sleep quality as well as in reducing fatigue. Practical implications for human resource departments and corporate
health management are discussed.
