SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EMOTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONAL LIFE (EMONET VII)
MONTREAL, CANADA, AUGUST 4-5, 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS
Researchers interested in studying emotions in organizational settings are invited to submit papers for the Seventh Conference on Emotions and Organizational Life ('Emonet VII'), to be held in Montreal, Canada, August 4-5, 2010. The conference precedes the annual meetings of the Academy of Management, which are scheduled for August 6-10, 2010 in Montreal, and is organized by the Emonet e-mail discussion group, an international network of scholars working in this field, established in January, 1997, and now affiliated with the Academy of Management's list server.
The primary aim of the conference is to bring together scholars who study emotions in organizational life, and to provide a forum for presentation of some of the significant advances that have been made in our understanding of this important area. The conference papers will be considered for inclusion in Volumes 7 and 8 of the JAI Press Annual Series, Research on Emotion in Organizations, now published by Emerald Group Publishing (see
www.emeraldinsight.com/1746-9791.htm).
Theoretical and empirical papers are invited on any topic of relevance to the study of emotions at work, including the determinants of emotion; the nature and description of emotion; processes and effects of emotion at the organizational, team, and individual levels. In 2010, we are excited that the Academy theme of Compassion and Passion is so consonant with Emonet's core ideas, and papers related to this theme are especially welcome. We are also seeking papers with a Green Management theme. Submissions included under this theme will be presented as part of a feature track on the role of emotions in organizational dealings with the natural environment.
The deadline for receipt of papers is March 15, 2010. Papers should be submitted via the Emonet website (see below), and will be subject to blind review. Papers should be no longer than 40 pages of double-spaced 12-point Times Roman text in length, and should be formatted according to the submission guidelines for the Academy of Management. We encourage innovative submissions, but all must satisfy the requirements of rigorous scholarship. A brief statement of your preference for presentation format should also accompany submission of papers. It is anticipated that a wide variety of delivery styles will be used, including symposia, panel discussions, workshops, posters, and traditional presentations. Reviewing standards will be irrespective of format.
Authors who will be unable to attend the conference are also invited to submit their papers to be considered for inclusion in one of the book volumes. These papers will be subject to the same review process as the conference papers. Authors submitting their papers for consideration should indicate whether they wish to have their work reviewed for presentation at the conference, the book, or both. At least one of the authors of a paper accepted for the conference must be present at the conference.
