GARROSA HERNANDEZ, Eva  e  CARMONA COBO, Isabel. Occupational health and well-being: incorporation of positive models to the understanding and the prevention of psychosocial risk. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2011, vol.57, suppl.1, pp.224-238. ISSN 1989-7790.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0465-546X2011000500014.

Workers' positive personality variables have a crucial role in the development of personal resources which help workers to provide guidance to health and well-being, and optimum employment development. From this perspective we have exposed some of the most representative theories that try to offer an approximation and explanation of the mechanisms involved. Potentially, we aim to explore and offer a general view on how organizational and personal strengths may have a conclusive linkage with productivity, creativity, and quality of work, that is, with the organizational results. From this configuration, we go beyond the classic line of occupational risks prevention trying to understand the organizational, work and personal factors that promote health and well-being in organizations, both for workers and the users of the service provided. As a final point, some examples are discussed which can help in the realization of good labour practices.
