The role of emotion, and its relationship to the body and aesthetics, has emerged as a significant area of research in the field of management and organisational analysis. IJWOE is unique in that it seeks to draw together different perspectives on the roles that emotion, embodiment and aesthetics increasingly play within the contemporary organisation and beyond. In doing so, it aims to shape and define emerging debates around these issues within both the academic and practitioner communities.

  • Emotional labour and emotion work
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Emotion and social organisation

Objectives

The aim of IJWOE is to act as a focal point for the dissemination of theoretical and empirical developments in the area of emotion, embodiment and related organisational and socio-cultural phenomena. It seeks contributions from diverse disciplinary fields including management and organisational analysis, gender studies, sociology, psychology, political economy, and more practitioner-orientated traditions such as human resource management and occupational health amongst others. It welcomes research from a range of methodological perspectives and aims to communicate with both academics and practitioners in the field. As an international journal, it also aims to explore how emotional and embodied processes are experienced, managed, controlled and resisted across a range of national and cultural contexts.


Readership

IJWOE will be of interest to academics, researchers, practitioners and policy makers and all those with an interest in the emotional, embodied, aesthetic and political dimensions of work, organisation and society.


Contents

IJWOE includes original academic papers and book reviews. There will be occasional special reviews devoted to important topics and themes in the area as well as guest editions. Shorter research notes and dialogue pieces are also welcomed.
