Baldessarelli G, Stigliani I, Elsbach K, 2022, The aesthetic dimension of organizing: a review and research agenda, The Academy of Management Annals, Vol: 10, ISSN: 1941-6067
Organizational aesthetics comprises a way of understanding organizational life based on immediate sensory reactions (i.e., sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch) to the material components of organizing (e.g., artifacts, physical settings, and material practices). Despite the growing interest in the topic, however, research is fragmented across management areas. To advance scholarly knowledge in this field, we reviewed the empirical work dealing with aesthetics. Our review yields two major insights. First, we identify three perspectives on the role of aesthetics. Scholars have treated aesthetics as (1) a directed stimulus (that elicits product evaluation and work organization), (2) a knowledge tool (that is entwined with creative work and everyday tasks), or (3) an open-ended outcome (that serves as a personal experience). Second, we find that each perspective highlights emotional and cognitive mechanisms through which aesthetics is implicated in organizing. Building on these two insights, our review offers an integrative framework that provides a comprehensive picture of the state of the field, illuminating the work of aesthetics in and around organizations and providing avenues for future studies.
Baldessarelli G, 2021, Emotions and Routine Dynamics, Cambridge Handbook of Routine Dynamics, Editors: D'Adderio, Dittrich, Feldman, Pentland, Rerup, Seidl
Although research on routine dynamics has provided some empirical evidence of the emotional side of actions and interactions, more research is needed to unpack the role of emotions in organizational routines and especially in routine dynamics. First, the chapter introduces a framework to review the literature that connects emotions and routine dynamics, explaining how emotions shape and are shaped by the processes of performing and patterning. Second, this chapter gives suggestions for future research and provides methodological considerations for scholars that intend to engage with emotions in organizations.
