Australian Positive Organisational Scholarship Community of Practice

The Australian Positive Organisational Scholarship (POS) CoP is where theory meets practice. Cultivating individual and organisational flourishing and optimal functioning.

Our purpose

The Australian Positive Organisational Scholarship (POS) CoP came into being to support researchers, teachers and practitioners who are interested in fostering positive organisations.

Academics inform the fields of Positive Psychology and Positive Organisational Scholarship (PP/POS) through formal theory, research and teaching. Practitioners inform academia – through a depth of insight gained from real-world practice, building a theory of practice. Together they form a community of practice.

Join leading scholars and practitioners in the fields of Positive Psychology and Positive Organisational Scholarship (PP/POS) in deliberative settings to discuss the latest thinking in research, teaching and practice and its timely role in an age of disruption and change.

Our events

The Australian POS Cop holds an annual event featuring leaders from academia and the field of practice. Each of our events has generated valuable resources for our community.
