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 volume of Research on Emotions in Organizations contributesto the ongoing study of the emotion-related forces that shape the functioning of individual, interpersonal workplace relationships and the organizationalsystem as a whole. The chapters in this book demonstrate the complex interplaybetween emotion, cognitive processes, brain functioning and contextual factorsthat contribute to a better understanding of organizational behavior atmultiple levels of workplace life and in the context of a fast-paced, uncertainand dynamically changing work environment. Taken together, they provide recent advances on the dynamics of emotions and point to future researchvenues consistent with the increasing interest in cross-country investigationand the role of neuroscience in organizational psychology.

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