Emotion and Proactivity at Work
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
Individuals’ behaviours at work are known to be shaped by cold, or cognitive-motivational, processes as well as hot, or affect-motivational, processes. To date, employee proactivity research has mainly focused on the ‘cold’ side. But emotion has been proposed to ‘energize’ employees’ proactivity, especially in interdependent and uncertain work environments.
In this pioneering work, expert scholars offer new thinking on the process by examining how emotion can drive employees’ proactivity in the workplace and how, in turn, that proactivity can shape one’s emotional experiences.
"This text represents a bounty of expertise, perspectives, and cutting-edge developments surrounding proactivity and emotion. It establishes the questions and answers which will lead the field for years to come." Thomas Rhys Evans, Coventry University
