From workplace violence to lay-offs, people experience a variety of traumatic experiences at work. While there is clear evidence that employees suffer from these events, there is reason to believe that employees may also benefit from these travails. Borrowing from theoretical and empirical work in psychology, we use organismic valuing theory as a framework in which to understand employee growth after workplace traumas. Using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory as a starting point, we undertook both qualitative and quantitative methods to develop a workplace-based measure of posttraumatic growth. This measure, the Workplace Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, consists of 17 dimensions of growth at work (8 confirming similar dimensions as the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and 9 newly-identified dimensions of workplace posttraumatic growth). We discuss next steps in terms of refining the measure and its use in answering substantive future research questions.
