Emotions and Leadership

by Neal M. Ashkanasy, Wilfred J. Zerbe, Charmine E. J. Härtel

Overview

This volume of Research on Emotion in Organizations contributes to the ongoing research on emotions in the workplace, focusing on organizational leadership and interpersonal relationships within organizational structures. The chapters in this book represent a range of different methodologies that reveal the pervasive role of emotions in leadership and emphasize the need for scholars to address emotions if they are to obtain a more complete understanding of organizational leadership. 

Emotions and Leadership is divided into three parts which explore and analyse developments in the following areas: leadership and individual team members, leadership and its effects on the team construct, and leadership in the overall context of organizations and culture. This three-level analysis provides a foundation for future research into emotion in organizations, organizational psychology and leadership.
