This volume focuses on the crucial role of emotions in forming and sustaining individual and collective identities at work. In addition, it explores the outcomes and boundaries of such identities while recognizing the driving role of emotions at various organizational levels, acknowledging that the relationship between emotion and identity is multifaceted and can be explored from various points of view. Identities and emotions are constantly evolving and are central aspects of organizational behavior, from the front-line interactions of employees to the broader ideological forces that shape institutions and organizational cultures. Thus, this volume recognizes the depth of emotion and identity at work by addressing these topics on individual, group, occupational, and social role levels. This volume is organized in four parts to contribute clearly to each of these areas of inquiry. Part 1 focuses on the micro-level topics of identity, anger and diversity. Part 2 focuses on the role of emotions in public sector settings, Part 3 focuses on the relationships between gender, emotions and identity, while Part 4 investigates how emotions influence individual identification with work.
This book contains 11 essays on the role of emotions in forming and sustaining identities at work, at individual, group, occupational, and social role levels. Business, management, and psychology researchers from Australia, Europe, Saudi Arabia, Asia, and Canada address topics related to identity, anger, and diversity, including positivity during organizational change, collective action and anger in response to perceived injustice, and coping with institutional plurality, then discuss emotion in public sector settings, including personal and moral anger in nurses, and physicians’ emotional regulation, burnout, and patient care quality. Other sections consider aspects related to gender, including emotional intelligence, as well as gender role orientation, future-oriented emotions, and subjective entrepreneurial success, and gender self-categorization, emotions, and the experience of aggression in a male-dominated workplace, and emotions and identification with work, including workplace friendships, leadership identity and emotional competencies in higher education, and job crafting and affect in non-preferred work tasks and contextual performance. Essays are mostly drawn from the 2016 International Conference on Emotions and Organizational Life (EMONET X), held in Rome, Italy. -- Annotation ©2017 * (protoview.com) *
