Emotion-management routines in the context of organisational change.
My research addresses the importance of emotion management on the organisational level. Emotions have an important influence on what is noticed, how it is interpreted, and what decisions and actions are taken. It is, therefore, a critical factor during change processes. This research takes an innovative perspective by examining emotions on multilevel and seeks to build on knowledge how organisations can attend to employee emotions in order to make change initiatives more successful.
Research methods: I have chosen a qualitative interpretivist paradigm, and my research is informed by the Process view inquiring how phenomena develop, change or terminate over time.
Why I chose Cranfield: I chose Cranfield for its blend of academic rigour, creative spirit and applicability of the research ensured by strong, on-going relationships with industries.
Current activities
