Internal Leadership and 'Mood Management': A Business Dynamic of Significance (original) (raw)

2024, The Global Analyst

The purpose of this article is simply to draw attention to a neglected and over-looked aspect of leadership, namely organizational 'Mood Management'. This is a key factor in shaping and determining morale, employee motivation, task satisfaction, executive decision-making and organizational functionality. Workplace 'mood' and 'tone' matters a great deal as it can release creativity and foster well-being.

Mood and the evaluation of leaders: a replication using an employee sample

2004

A recently published study in Current Research in Social Psychology (Schyns & Sanders, 2003) focused on the relationship between mood and the perception of leadership. Although this experimental study showed a relationship between mood and the perception of management-by-exception passive, most of the hypotheses could not be confirmed. The present study tries to overcome the most important restrictions of that prior study and seeks to examine the same hypotheses using an employee sample and a different assessment of mood. Results indicate that mood and the perception of leadership are indeed connected, especially in the case of less active leadership styles. Controlling for effects of contact with the leader did not alter these results.

Contrary to the prevailing notion that positive moods foster creativity, an emerging body of research suggests that negative moods can also boost creativity, and even that positive moods may impair creativity. More recent research suggests that the dual-moods, instead of singular positive or negative moods, can jointly foster creativity, opening a new avenue for mood-creativity research.
