An Examination of CEO Emotion's Relationship with Organization-Level Performance

Peyton, Elizabeth J.

Abstract Details

2012, Master of Science (MS), Wright State University, Human Factors and Industrial/Organizational Psychology MS.
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.
