The course will introduce students to the major theories and approaches to emotion, feeling, passion and affect with a focus on the organisational setting. Students will be introduced to the controversies in the field and encouraged to explore the intersection of emotion and cognition. This will give them a critical understanding of the theories of mind/emotion and how we might understand feelings. The emotional life of organisations – how the contexts of work structure feelings forms the second component of the course. Students will develop a strong understanding of their own emotional repertoire by the use of reflective engaged learning tasks. The theory – experience – reflection nexus is a core aspect of emotional management and as such will be utilised as an educative tool in the course. Students will complete the course with a strong understanding of the various theoretical approaches to emotion and how these can be utilised in organisational settings to achieve more effective management.
