As research on affect has gained popularity in organizational behavior over the past several decades, several challenges have emerged. This symposium is designed to address several of these in four presentations that represent advances to the affective literature. More specifically, the presenters will discuss research designed to challenge assumptions related to: (a) the elicitation of discrete emotions in experiments, (b) the nature and effects of emotional contagion on individuals observing the emotions of others, and (c) the conceptualization and operationalization of deep acting as a form of emotional labor and its effects on employee affect. The symposium contains a variety of different approaches including state-of-the-method review, experiments, and cross-sectional and longitudinal field studies to examine these phenomena. Taken together, these presentations challenge several assumptions in affect-related literatures and have potential implications for management scholars and/or practitioners.
