Abstract Using paired data from 75 team leaders and 278 employees as survey samples, the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was applied to integrate 5 antecedent conditions at 3 levels of unit contextual features, work resources, and agentic work behaviors to explore the multiple equivalent driving paths affecting thriving at work and collective thriving at work and their intrinsic formation mechanisms based on the configuration perspective. The findings suggested that psychological capital played a pervasive role in achieving thriving at work of employees and team psychological capital played a pervasive role in achieving collective thriving at work of teams. Meanwhile, there were three models that drove employees to generate high level of thriving status, namely the context & behavior-based model, the context-based model, and the resource-based model. Among them, the context & behavior-based model had a higher explanation degree than the others. Finally, there existed 4 models that drove teams to generate high levels of collective thriving at work, namely, the collective context & behavior-based model, the collective context-resource-behavior model, the collective context & resource-based model, and the collective context-based model.
