Although positive psychology has begun to study quite
often in the organizational context in the last decade, so far, however, there
has been little discussion about the contribution of positive psychology to
organizational readiness during organizational change processes. The
current study aims to compile, analyze and synthesize scientific researches
that aim to understand the effects of positive psychology on readiness in the
context of organizational change. In the line with this purpose, several advanced search
criteria were identified; In EBSCO Business Source Complete and ISI Web of
Science databases, four (4) conceptual and fourteen (14) experimental, eighteen
(18) studies were attempted to be analyzed in detail. Although it is widely
acknowledged that these findings represent the infancy period of the field, the
majority of examined studies reveal that positive psychology may provide a
valuable contribution in terms of both individual and organizational readiness.
The study aims to provide new insight to practitioners about the psychological
side of organizational changes as well as to contribute to the field of
organizational behavior by directing further research.
