Organisational Behaviour, Leadership and Emotion

Neal Ashkanasy came into academic life after an 18-year career in professional engineering and management, and has since worked in the schools of psychology, commerce, engineering, management, and business. He has a PhD (1989) in Social and Organizational Psychology from the University of Queensland, and has research interests in leadership, organizational culture, and business ethics. In recent years, however, his research has focused on the role of emotions in organizational life. He has published his work in journals such as the Academy of Management Review, the Academy of Management Executive, Accounting, Organizations and Society, the Journal of Management, the Journal of Organizational Behavior, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. He is co-editor of three books: The Handbook of Organizational Culture and Climate (Sage) and Emotions in the Workplace; Theory, Research, and Practice (Quorum); Managing Emotions in the Workplace (ME Sharpe). In addition, he administers two e-mail discussion lists: Orgcult, the Organizational Culture Caucus list; and Emonet, the Emotions in the Workplace list. He has organized three International Conferences on Emotions in Organizational Life, and is now planning the fourth conference to be held in England in July 2004. Prof. Ashkanasy is also on the Editorial Boards of the Academy of Management Journal, the Journal of Organizational Behavior, Applied Psychology: An International Review, and the Journal of Management. Finally, he was the 2001-2 Chair of the Managerial and Organizational Cognition Division of the Academy of Management.
