Welcome to the Eighth International Conference on Emotions and Worklife: Emonet VIII

Hanken School of Economics will host the Eighth Conference on Emotions and Worklife: ‘Emonet VIII’, to be held 2-3 July, 2012 in Helsinki, Finland.

Emotions research has transformed organization studies, enlightening us to the rich experiences and possibilities for adding to the quality of work and the environments in which we undertake it.  Throughout this revolution, the Emotions and Worklife (Emonet) conference has provided a central meeting point for emotions scholars from around the world to share and nurture their intellectual curiosity in the area.

The biannual conference is organized by the Emotions Network (Emonet) e-mail group; an international scholarly network that facilitates discussion relating to theoretical development in the study of emotion in organizations. The group was established in January1997 and is affiliated with the Academy of Management’s list serv.

The primary aim of Emonet VIII is to provide a forum for scholars to present leading empirical and theoretical research relating to significant advances made in understanding the roles of emotions in organizational settings.

Emonet VIII will be held in at the Aalto University School of Economics.

The conference opens with a welcome reception, followed by a 1 1/2 day informative program of inspiring presentations from international researchers. Included in the program will be the symposia, which will be  held in two streams.

Emonet VIII will coincide with the annual EGOS Colloquium scheduled for July 5-7 2012, also to be held in Helsinki, Finland.

A selection of conference papers from Emonet VIII will be considered for inclusion in Volumes 9 and 10 of the Annual Book Series, Research on Emotion in Organizations, published by the Emerald Group.
