The Conceptual and Empirical Value of a Positive Lens: An Invitation to Organizational Scholars to Develop Novel Research Questions. Spreitzer, G., Kopelman, S., Mayer, D. M., & Myers, C. G. Academy of Management Perspectives, Conditionally Accepted. abstract bibtex This article articulates how a positive lens contributes to organizational studies by stimulating novel research questions. We illuminate three key mechanisms of a positive lens—resource unlocking, capacity creating, and strength building—that foster flourishing individuals, teams, and organizations. Next, we highlight how three domains of organizational research—resources, learning, and ethics—provide useful examples of how drawing on these three mechanisms illuminates new research directions. In closing, we invite scholars to consider applying a positive lens to their own area of inquiry to bolster understanding of flourishing within and across organizations.
