How can application of a positive lens to understanding social change and organizations enrich and elaborate theory and practice? This is the core question that inspired this book. It is a question that brought together a diverse and talented group of researchers interested in change and organizations in different problem domains (sustainability, healthcare, and poverty alleviation). The contributors to this book bring different theoretical lenses to the question of social change and organizations. Some are anchored in more macro accounts of how and why social change processes occur, while others approach the question from a more psychological or social psychological perspective.

This manuscript develops and explores two ideas: (1) that perceptions of environmental uncertainty are after-the-fact rationalizations used by decision makers to explain strong or weak effectiveness assessments, and (2) that different contexts motivate different sense-making outcomes. The findings, based on a sample of senior decision makers from 34 firms in two industries, suggest that assessments of effectiveness and perceptions of environmental uncertainty are related through decision makers' sense-making efforts. The manuscript also addresses the limitations and implications of these results.

Caring Is a Competitive Advantage Suffering in the workplace can rob our colleagues and coworkers of humanity, dignity, and motivation and is an unrecognized and costly drain on organizational potential. Marshaling evidence from two decades of field research, scholars and consultants Monica Worline and Jane Dutton show that alleviating such suffering confers measurable competitive advantages in areas like innovation, collaboration, service quality, and talent attraction and retention. They outline four steps for meeting suffering with compassion and show how to build a capacity for compassion into the structures and practices of an organization--because ultimately, as they write, "Compassion is an irreplaceable dimension of excellence for any organization that wants to make the most of its human capabilities."
