The present study tests this theory by examining the impact of an online signature strengths intervention on each of the aforementioned dimensions of well-being and overall well-being using an explanatory sequential mixed method experimental research design. The quantitative phase of the study implemented a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the intervention with a wait-list control newlinegroup. A total of 82 participants recorded their levels of well-being and its dimensions at pretest and post-test using a standardized tool. Out of the 82 participants, 42 participants were in the experimental group and 40 participants in the wait-list control group. A one-month followup measure of well-being was also taken among participants in the experimental group to determine the long-term effectiveness of the intervention. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted in the qualitative phase of the study among participants in the experimental group to explore the subjective experiences and mental processes underlying the identification and utilization of signature strengths. Results demonstrated medium to large increases in all the dimensions of well-being except for the dimension of engagement which did not show a newlinesignificant increase at either time points. Qualitative findings validated the quantitative findings and revealed important mental and emotional mechanisms underlying the experience of utilizing signature strengths, thereby providing a deeper insight into the nature and working of the intervention. Findings of the study carry far-reaching implications for organizations as well as educational and healthcare institutions to empower individuals to function optimally by utilizing their inner potential and experience the peak of well-being in all domains of life.
