Martin Seligman’s model from positive psychology: five measurable, trainable dimensions that sustain human flourishing, at work and elsewhere.
- Positive emotions, gratitude, hope, serenity; fuel for resilience, not toxic positivity
- Engagement, the “flow” state, using your strengths on a task that absorbs you
- Relationships, trust and mutual support
- Meaning, connecting what you do to something bigger than yourself
- Accomplishment, mastery and progress
Not a motivational theory but a validated model connecting wellbeing with performance. Pairs well with Empathy in organizations.
