Influencia del modelo PERMA en la retención del talento humano: una mirada desde la psicología positiva organizacional

Abstract

Positive psychology has gained relevance in the workplace with an approach that seeks to strengthen well-being at work. The articles found in this research provide information on the favorable impact that positive psychology has on staff turnover. In the organization context, the PERMA model conceptualized by Martin Seligman determines that the construction of well-being is based on positive emotions, commitment, meaningful relationship, meaning, and purpose. In the Latin American context, evidence on the evaluation and application of the PERMA method at a scientific level in the organizational area is limited. This study has a qualitative approach based on a literature review framed through databases such as Scopus, Scielo, Redalyc and other articles considered relevant. As a result, 11 articles were analyzed that show how the PERMA method is associated with workplace well-being and the factors that build it, such as work engagement, job satisfaction, and job performance. The studies found presented instruments based on the PERMA method, which have high levels of reliability and validity. The literature review shows that the application of the PERMA model in different sectors promotes positive relationships, a sense of purpose, and resilience at the organizational level, which are key drivers for talent retention. The findings suggest that the PERMA model is a useful tool for designing organizational strategies for employee retention and motivation.
