EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN WORKPLACE

Research suggests that organizational life is rife with emotions, but many organizations to date are not set up in ways that effectively embrace their employees’ emotions. In this pre-conference workshop, we explore the science behind emotions at work, we discover the role of emotional intelligence, and we discuss and creatively elaborate on how relevant findings apply at different levels of analysis within organizations. Participants contribute their research questions and explore existing and potential tools with which emotional intelligence can be applied in organizations. We put a particular emphasis not just on emotional intelligence as an individual ability but also on the organizational environments within which people use – or don’t use – their emotional intelligence.
