Summary
The study of emotions has taken center stage in several areas of organizational scholarship over the past few decades. The mid-1990s saw the emergence of the seminal affective events theory (AET; Weiss & Cropanzano, 1996), which proposes that discrete workplace “affective events” elicit “affective responses” that then influence attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. Since then, research has experienced an affective revolution (Barsade, Brief, & Spataro, 2003). Work on emotional contagion (e.g. Barsade, 2002), discrete emotions (e.g. Lazarus & Cohen-Charash, 2001), and multi-level integrations (e.g. Ashkanasy, 2003a; Elfenbein, 2007), among other topics, has rapidly advanced both theory and practice, becoming integral to the lexicon of organizational scholars (Brief & Weiss, 2002).
