This review is from: Emotions at Work: Theory, Research and Applications for Management (Hardcover)

This book brings up the interesting issue of emotions and the workplace, a tricky balancing act. However, the unique approach to this issue presented here makes this a standout from "touchy-feely" HR/OB books. Scientific and sociological analysis plays a large role here, so this is recommended for those who prefer objectivity over subjectivity.
