Several informants expressed their opinion, Vicki conveyed about Positive Organizational Psychology which was explained into several parts. The first part is an appreciative investigation of such a collaborative, strengths-based approach to change using positive questions. He also conveyed a good principle that change requires positive questions and leads to social bonds. All positive elements affect major changes overall for all parties.

In addition, in Psychology itself, the main character is the self. As stated by Vicki that we have an important role that has several parts in the influence of our own Positive Psychology, such as hope in us who are able to achieve the desired goals in order to succeed. Then there is Self-Efficacy, which is belief in our ability to place efforts to succeed in a target. Then there is optimism, we must believe in ourselves from the present point to the future.

Building Psychology it self is an important thing, as well as making big plans for the future such as setting clear goals or goals for ourselves intelligently, measurably, achievable, based on relevant time and also the milestones for goals. to measure how far we are progressing. Then think of the most effective way to deal with various kinds of problems that will come later so that we stay focused on what we can and see the situation and then make a realistic plan to deal with it.
