Synthesize empirical evidence on the antecedents and outcomes of thriving at work using Spreitzer and colleagues' theoretical framework.
Meta-analysis synthesizing data across K = 73 independent samples comprising N = 21,739 employees.
Evaluated corrected correlation coefficients (rc) and performed relative weights analyses to determine the incremental predictive validity of thriving beyond positive affect and work engagement.
Thriving at work strongly associates with individual characteristics, including proactive personality (rc = .58), psychological capital (rc = .47), positive affect (rc = .52), and work engagement (rc = .64).
Relational factors associate positively with thriving, including perceived organizational support (rc = .63), supportive leadership (rc = .44), and coworker support (rc = .42).
Thriving associates with reduced burnout (rc = -.53), increased commitment (rc = .65), and improved task performance (rc = .35), demonstrating incremental predictive validity for performance, satisfaction, and subjective health.
