A variety of occupational aspects and factors have been much changed since the unexpected global crisis (e.g., Covid-19 pandemic) and the advancement of artificial intelligence. Despite research efforts and interests in those new areas, these happenings paradoxically revealed that emotion regulation which features human beings is still important across diverse workplaces and technological breakthrough cannot substitute for the roles of employees’ emotion regulation in workplaces. Given the importance of emotion regulation at work and the Annual Meeting theme of "Innovating for the Future: Policy, Purpose, and Organizations," we are interested in how emotion regulation functions at work. This symposium focuses on emotion regulation, defined as the process by which an individual forms, interprets, and modifies a specific feeling in one’s social/work context (Grandey, 2000). Emotion, as one of the key components in occupational and social contexts, orients an individual’s attitudes and behaviors in specific directions (Spector & Fox, 2002). It affects the way organizational members manage their feelings according to social norms and expectations. Hence, emotion regulation becomes important to employees, managers, and their organizations because effectively regulating emotions interconnects with and influences individual and collective performance at work. The main purpose of our symposium is to attract scholars to pay more attention on emotion regulation, encompassing its potential effects across work and non-work areas, and delve into the challenges and consequences of this pervasive but understudied phenomenon. This collection of studies investigates various occupational contexts in which emotion regulation plays its unique, significant roles in relation to several work outcomes. By attempting to look into those aspects from multiple theoretical backgrounds, this symposium contributes to enhancing our understanding of emotion regulations for employees, managers, and organizations.
