Individual, Relational, and Contextual Dynamics of Emotions

This volume of Research on Emotions in Organizations contributes
to the ongoing study of the emotion-related forces that shape the functioning of individual, interpersonal workplace relationships and the organizational
system as a whole. The chapters in this book demonstrate the complex interplay
between emotion, cognitive processes, brain functioning and contextual factors
that contribute to a better understanding of organizational behavior at
multiple levels of workplace life and in the context of a fast-paced, uncertain
and dynamically changing work environment. Taken together, they provide recent advances on the dynamics of emotions and point to future research
venues consistent with the increasing interest in cross-country investigation
and the role of neuroscience in organizational psychology.

This volume is
organized in three parts to provide coverage of the latest developments in each
of the following areas: micro-level self-related dynamics
of emotions; relational-centered dynamics of emotions; and emotional dynamics related to macro contextual factors.
