Fifteen International Conference on Emotions and Organizational Life
‘EMONET XV’
IGR-IAE, Rennes, France
July 6-8, 2026
Welcome to the Fifteen International Conference on Emotions and Organizational life (Emonet XV)! The Fifteen International Conference on Emotions and Organizational life will be held on July 6th and 8th, 2026 at IGR-IAE, Rennes, France.
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 January 1997 and is affiliated with the Academy of Management’s Listserv. It will immediately precede the 42nd EGOS Colloquium, which this year will be conducted online, with the doctoral consortium at the University of Bergamo, Italy, from 9-11 July.
The primary aim of the conference is to bring together scholars who study emotions in organizational life, and to provide a forum for scholars to present 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 Volume 21 of the Annual Series, Research on Emotion in Organizations, published by the Emerald Group (see www.emeraldinsight.com/1746-9791.htm).
We look forward to seeing you there!
