European Academy of Management Conference 2007 - May 16-19, 2007 – Paris/France
Emotion in Organization
Track overview.
At EURAM 2005 we organized the first track on Emotion in Organization, which was successfully continued at EURAM 2006. We feel now we have established this track within the EURAM program as an important platform in research and practice of emotion at the workplace. Thus, we want to continue organizing this track providing a podium for exchanging current knowledge, discussing diverse perspectives and strategies, as well as developing a research agenda for the future.
We want to include empirical studies, theoretical papers, as well as work-in-progress papers, presented and discussed at symposia, paper and poster sessions, as well as workshops.
These papers should focus on current issues in the field, including general emotion issues as they can be related to organizational behaviour (e.g. varieties and functions of human emotion in the organizational context, emotional contagion, distinguishing emotion, affect and mood), measurement issues in organizational emotion research (e.g. event sampling and diary studies in the research of emotion in the organizational context, physiological measurement methods in the work context, scale developments for measuring emotion at work, qualitative approaches in the study of emotion at work etc.), ethical issues (e.g. ethical dangers and opportunities in emotion research and management practices), theoretical developments in the field (e.g. affective event theory, emotional self-regulation), determinants and consequences of specific emotions in the work context (e.g. emotions related to stress at work, health and well-being, cross-cultural similarities and differences, organizational climate and leadership, job characteristics, team work), emotion work/emotional labour (e.g. emotion work and service delivery, customer satisfaction, and service workers' health), individual differences in experiencing, expressing and regulating emotions related to the work context (e.g. emotional intelligence and work behaviour, emotions in the personnel selection process, gender issues), management of emotions (e.g. management of destructive emotions at work, management of stress, training of emotion regulation strategies, emotional aspects of consumer behaviour, international management issues) and cross-cultural issues in the research of emotion in organization. We want to encourage scholars and practitioners of management, economy, and psychology to join the track.
We feel that the range of topics and approaches covered in the proposed track will lead to an international exchange and an open, rich, diverse and constructive discourse about emotions in organizations, what we know and where we want to go in the future.
