Anger in Organizations: Review and Integration
Abstract
Organizations are rife with situations likely to cause employee anger, including complex relationships, chronic pressure, high stakes, and factors beyond individual control. The importance of this discrete emotion has led to a range of studies exploring the implications of anger for critical organizational phenomena, including emotion norms, leadership, gender issues, status and power, and cross-cultural differences. Despite the dramatic increase in scholarly attention over the past decade to understanding anger experience and expression in organizations, there exist few current reviews and little integration of this diverse literature. By combining a psychological perspective of anger as an episodic process with an organizational perspective emphasizing contextual effects and norms, this review will summarize current research in this vital area, provide a model for understanding and integrating this work, and propose themes for future research.

“Controlling emotions, especially negative emotions such as anger, has been a common focus of prescriptions for individual effectiveness (see Gross, 1998), for group cohesiveness and productivity (Kelly & Barsade, 2001), and for organizational harmony (Stearns & Stearns, 1986).”

“Van Kleef and Côté (2007) argued that differing negotiation contexts cause anger expressions to be considered more or less appropriate, showing that perceived appropriateness norms affect the perceptions and behaviors of high-power negotiators.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
