The emergent movement of positive psychology has grown exponentially since it started in the beginning of the Millennium. It goal is to scientifically study positive emotions, positive character and positive institutions.

This article presents the models of positive psychology and appreciative inquiry, and reviews its recent developments, as well as the applied practices they have given origin, and make explicit the arguments of many authors appealing to their integration and complementary in organizational interventions. It ends by presenting a case-study in the educative institutional environment aimed at the positive organizational development, that embodies in practice the connection between the explored models.
