The topic of emotion has been conspicuously absent from most texts on organizing and organizational behaviour. This groundbreaking book is the first to redress this imbalance by bringing together a range of contributions that clearly demonstrate how analysis of emotion must be part of any convincing theory of organization.

The introduction explores the ways in which issues of emotion permeate central themes of organizational analysis, such as language, culture, identity, power and control. Contributors then draw on a number of case studies to examine such issues as: the relations among bureaucracy, rationality and emotion in organizations; masculinity and the gendered nature of emotional control; how organizational order, `effectiveness and commitment′ are sustained by various forms of emotion, work and labour; and the narcissistic underpinnings to aspects of expression and emotion management in organizations. The book concludes by laying out an agenda for further work and research in the field.
