Emotions are central to social life and thus they should be central to organization theory. However, emotions have been treated implicitly rather than theorized directly in much of organization theory, and in some literatures, have been ignored altogether. This Element focuses on emotions as intersubjective, collective and relational, and reviews structuralist, people-centered and strategic approaches to emotions in different research streams to provide one of the first broad examinations of emotions in organization theory. Charlene Zietsma, Maxim Voronov, Madeline Toubiana and Anna Roberts provide suggestions for future research within each literature and look across the literatures to identify theoretical and methodological considerations.

This volume contains an Open Access chapter.Institutional logics have become a foundational framework for understanding how meaning and practice shape organizational and societal life. This volume examines institutional logics as structured yet evolving formations, focusing on how they cohere, persist and are governed across diverse settings.Bringing together new conceptual contributions, Exploring the Coherence, Durability, and Governance of Institutional Logics: Conceptual Advances maps multifaceted views of how institutional logics take form and are sustained in practice. The papers engage with questions of how values and practices align to produce recognizable configurations, how field‑level actors and governance arrangements influence the maintenance or disruption of logics, and how digital environments, stigmatization processes and organizational mechanisms shape patterns of stability and change. Contributors introduce frameworks for analyzing institutional competence, identifying critical linchpin actors, understanding the generative properties of logics and assessing coherence through configurational and methodological approaches.Advancing a clearer understanding of how institutional logics operate as dynamic yet ordered social constructs, this volume provides a foundation for future research on institutional processes and organizational change.

Institutional logics continue to shape research across organizational and societal domains, yet the empirical mechanisms through which logics cohere, evolve and interact remain a central area of inquiry. This volume examines how institutional logics operate in practice, focusing on the dynamics that structure their stability, adaptation and governance across varied empirical settings.Bringing together a collection of new empirical papers, Exploring the Coherence, Durability, and Governance of Institutional Logics: New Empirical Directions investigates how institutional logics are enacted, contested and reconfigured through real‑world processes. The contributions analyze how gendered meanings and forms of capital intersect within institutional fields; how open‑access publishing systems accommodate competing logics; how market logic variants influence entrepreneurial alertness; and how state logics are decomposed and recomposed through organizational reforms. Additional papers examine elite disruptions of established orders, the governance role of ESG analysts navigating institutional complexity and logic‑sequencing under time‑compressed disaster‑recovery conditions.Providing grounded analyses of institutional logics across diverse empirical contexts, this volume extends understanding of how logics gain durability, encounter challenges and evolve over time.

This volume of Research in the Sociology of Organizations explores the institutional macro foundations of action, providing an array of insights into the constitutive and contextualizing powers of institutions, and an agenda for further exploration of these themes.The recent increase in attention to the micro foundations of institutions has been fruitful, but risks obscuring institutions'' constitutive and contextualizing powers. This volume addresses this risk by focusing attention on how institutions shape the workings of the social and material world, our fundamental experiences, and the real-time unfolding of activity. It examines these institutional macro foundations, and provides rich accounts of the ways in which macro foundations shape and are shaped by micro-dynamics, in a co-constitutive interplay.This volume will be essential reading for management researchers, students, and all those interested in organization and organizational life.
