Abstract
Today, we are facing a challenging paradox: A shortage of Health-Care Workers (HCWs), as well as a rise in unemployed health professionals. It is either due to funding short falls, planning in adequacy, in addition to a weak organizational climate that contributes to unhealthy work environments.
Highlights
Research shows that the more positive emotions people experience, the more successful they are
This article presents a framework developed from research in positive psychology that includes six essentials of workplace positivity: positive thinking, positive relationships, strengths, empowerment, meaning and well-being
In 1998, Martin Seligman, president of the American Psychological Association, challenged the field of psychology to broaden its primary focus on human problems and how to solve them to include more research on positive emotions, positive traits and positive institutions
