Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The philosophy of positive organizational behavior emphasizes on the importance of focusing on the positive aspects of life to improve organizational success and individual well-being. It does not place emphasis on extinction as a means to improve employee effectiveness or suggest that employees are inherently good or bad. While organizational behavior knowledge offers both positive and negative information, the philosophy of positive organizational behavior specifically focuses on the positive aspects. Similarly, while employees may process positive information more quickly, this is not a defining characteristic of positive organizational behavior.
