About the Book and Topic:
Provides applied psychologists with a concise and state-of-the-art scholarly introduction to new developments in this area of inquiry, and an overview of how basic theory and research in affect and emotions has (and is anticipated to) influenced the science and practice of I/O psychology. The focus is on emotions and emotional regulation in normal, healthy individuals.
During the past two decades, substantial advances have been made in understanding the structure and role of affect and emotions in human behavior. Building on this progress, a growing number of org researchers have begun to integrate these advances into theorizing and research pertaining to employee cognition, affect, and behavior. In some areas of I/O psychology, such as job satisfaction, new perspectives on affect have begun to reshape the domain. In other areas, basic research on affect and emotions has been used as a foundation for new perspectives on established topics, such as leadership, group processes, or in the definition of new and/or timely issues, such as employee violence and employee reactions to org procedures.
Provides applied psychologists with a concise state-of-the-art scholarly introduction to new developments in emotion at work. * The first book to contain a solid I/O research perspective on emotion and work in a comprehensive resource.
