Positive organisational psychology 2.0: Embracing the technological revolution. THE JOURNAL OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY 2024, VOL. 19, NO. 4, 699–711 [https://doi.org/10.1080/17439760.2023.2257640]1743-9760 (Print) 1743-9779http://hdl.handle.net/10394/43405Journal Article, Faculty of Humanities, Research & Innovation, Vanderbijlpark CampusPositive Organisational Psychology (POP) has experienced significant growth in the past two decades, contributing to our understanding of work-related well-being and performance. However, the discipline is now on the cusp of a new wave of research and innovation that may reshape its discourse. This paper introduces the concept of ‘Positive Organisational Psychology 2.0’ (POP 2.0) as an evidence-based, data-driven field that utilizes technological advancements and human-centred design to understand and enhance positive characteristics of individuals, organisations, and society for optimal psychological functioning, wellbeing, and performance. The paper begins with an overview of POP’s emergence, highlighting its key characteristics and exploring the factors behind its rapid growth and declining relevance. We then conceptualize POP 2.0, outline its defining features, and advocate for a broader scope, expanded focal audience, enhanced methodologies, and transformative role shifts for practitioners. We conclude by outlining opportunities, challenges and perspectives for the next wave of innovative researchenPositive Organisational PsychologyPositive Organisational BehaviourPositive Organisational ScholarshipFuture PerspectivesArticle
