Research on emotion in organizations has blossomed since the early 1990s. Work in this area ranges from an examination of how universal biological, evolutionary, or trait impulses impact emotion, to consideration of the role social learning plays in shaping sentiment.
This landmark collection is exclusively devoted to demonstrating/mapping (what is understood today about the power and structural effects of emotion and identity in organizations). Essays at the leading edge of research reveal the influence of workplace cultures, power, and institutional expectations, while also exploring the negative impacts of emotion management in the workplace.

Stephen Fineman has gathered an international group of cutting-edge researchers for this collection. The volume makes a significant contribution to the field by highlighting the controversies and voices that bring power and politics out of the shadows, propelling organizational emotion into the post-modern era.
