This book argues that contemporary society in general, and public administration specifically, can benefit from more reflexive learning processes through democracy and public involvement.

In the face of escalating political crises and institutional upheavals, leaders are encountering unprecedented challenges and uncertainty daily. Understanding how emotions and values shape societies is now more crucial than ever. Emotions play a significant role in influencing engagement and resistance towards established norms and values, while values govern emotional reactions, mobilize actions, and strengthen institutional work and social connections. This open-access handbook offers a comprehensive interplay between emotions and values within organizational institutionalism, highlighting their essential roles in shaping organizational dynamics and evolution of organizational life. Drawing upon cutting-edge research, the handbook examines how emotions and values emerges within institutions, interact, and operate as significant drivers of action and practice across various organizational contexts.
