The thought for this article surges out of a direct implication of an apparently overt yet unspoken phenomenon pertaining to the field of organizational behavior in the context of Indian scenario wherein the world of work is archetypically segregated per se into government (secure but low paid) and private (unsecure but high paid) sectors of employment. Although formal and informal sectors do exist as per established economic theories but contemporary Indian psyche is preoccupied with opportunities in the above mentioned sectors only. It is being hypothesized and proved herein through inferential statistics & tests of significance that, as far as the implications and extension of positive psychology at workplace is concerned, there tend to be radical differentiation amongst the employees in both these sectors specifically in terms of strengths, virtues, and the proclaimed core constructs; self efficacy, optimism, hope and resiliency of positive organizational behavior. Eventually, these results call for distinct human development and management practices. In addition to psychoanalytic discussion as epitome, some insights into the measure with special reference to the prevailing economic crisis and recommendations for future research are provided in the end. |
