An Examination Of Ceo Emotion's Relationship With Organization-Level Performance, Elizabeth J. Peyton Jan 2012

An Examination Of Ceo Emotion's Relationship With Organization-Level Performance, Elizabeth J. Peyton

My study examined the relationship between CEO emotions and organization-level performance. I also tested the feasibility of using FACS in a business setting. Lastly, I explored the nature of CEOs' expressive styles. I found support for a relationship between CEOs' positive emotion displays and organization-level performance, but not a relationship between CEOs' negative emotion displays and organization-level performance. My results also supported the idea that CEOs have a unique and consistent expressive style that remains independent of displayed emotion and that researchers can use FACS to measure this expressive style.
