Personality and individual differences and healthy organizations

In the current world of work characterized by instability and in-security, the well-being of individuals is threatened (Blustein, Kenny, DiFabio, & Guichard, 2019;Peiró, Sora, & Caballer, 2012). This threat hasbeen exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This scenario continuallyasks for the necessity to promote “healthy organizations” (Di Fabio,2017;Peiró & Tetrick, 2011), to enhance positive results for in-dividuals, groups and organizations in strength-based prevention per-spectives (Di Fabio & Kenny, 2016, 2019;Di Fabio & Saklofske, 2014,2020;Hage et al., 2007;Kenny & Hage, 2009). From the perspective ofindividual differences, personal strength and resilience forms a majorcomponent in the person-organization fit theory (Kristof, 1996). In thisframework, it is important to further the exploration of personality andindividual differences in relation to healthy organizations and flour-ishing and resilient workers (Di Fabio, 2017). The importance of posi-tive individual resources and positive work environment in enhancingemployees’ health, well-being and performance (Peiró, Bayona,Caballer, & Di Fabio, 2020) is highlighted.
