Gendering Emotions in Organizations

Gendering Emotions in Organizations is an edited collection that explores the connections between gender and emotion in organizations. In its examination of these connections, this book focuses on two specific areas: emotional labour and the gendered nature of the expression of feelings at work. Drawing on a range of empirical data, including new work on the previously neglected area of men and emotions, Gendering Emotions in Organizations is the first to bring together emerging literature on this fascinating topic.

PATRICIA LEWIS is Senior Lecturer and RUTH SIMPSON is Professor, both in Management at the Brunel Business School at Brunel University.
