Description
Summary:A growing body of positive organizational scholarship research provides strong support for the ubiquity and importance of positive emotions in organizations. In this symposium, four empirical papers continue this line of research by examining the contours and consequences of awe, hope, and compassion in the workplace. These emotions are explored across a diverse set of research contexts, utilize several distinct empirical approaches, and focus on both the individual and group levels of analysis. Following the paper presentations, our discussant, Kathleen Sutcliffe, will offer recommendations for the development of the papers presented and provide insights on how to further advance research in this growing domain. The symposium is designed to provide insight on the role of positive emotions within the organizational context and inspire new streams research.
