Аннотация
PURPOSE: Due to widespread societal changes, scholars and human resources (HR) practitioners need additional ideas and strategies to encourage employee well-being and "thriving" in the post-COVID workplace. However, academics and practitioners are typically not in conversation on this topic, which can lead to gaps between knowledge and practice.
METHODS: Informed by an interdisciplinary approach that bridges theoretical insights from psychology, sociology, and HR practitioner-focused research, we use focus group interviews with 113 full-time employees across five U.S. cities to explore how employees define what it means to thrive at work in contemporary times.
RESULTS: We find that employees' accounts demonstrate the importance of both psychological and interactional factors in their understandings of thriving, including feeling a sense of personal well-being and opportunity at work, feeling appreciated in their interactions with coworkers and leaders, and feeling that the organization has a larger purpose and mission and that they, as employees, contribute to the organization's purpose and success.
CONCLUSION: Given employees' interpretations, our findings suggest concrete strategies that HR practitioners can take to help employees thrive in the workplace today.
