About
Marisa Salanova is a leading figure in positive organizational psychology, whose work has fundamentally shaped how we understand well-being and optimal functioning in the workplace. Her research primarily explores the interplay between positive psychological capital, work engagement, and healthy organizations, often framed within the "HERO" (Healthy & Resilient Organizations) model. Salanova’s major contributions include demonstrating how positive resources like self-efficacy and optimism buffer against burnout and foster engagement, and she has been instrumental in advancing the empirical study of positive psychology in occupational settings. With over 20,000 citations to her name, her influence is vast. Notably, her recent editorial on "Facilitating the Third Wave of Positive Psychology" (2022, 21 citations) signals her continued leadership in shaping the discipline’s future, focusing on how positive institutions and collective well-being can be systematically cultivated. A prolific author and mentor, Salanova’s work remains essential reading for students and researchers seeking to build thriving, resilient workplaces.
