Academy of Management selects article by Prof. Menges for “Best Annals Paper of the Year”
Düsseldorf/Vallendar, August 18, 2016. Professor Dr. Jochen Menges, Chair of Leadership and Human Resource Management at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, received the “Best Annals Paper of the Year” award in Los Angeles on August 7 during the annual Academy of Management Conference.
The jury gave the best article award to Menges for his article on group emotions in the academic journal Academy of Management Annals. The article was co-authored by his colleague Martin Kilduff (University College London) . According to the internationally recognized Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports 2015, the Academy of Management Annals is the best scientific management journal worldwide (ranked #1 out of 192 journals).
In addition, as of July 1, Professor Dr. Menges has been appointed as member of the editorial board of the Academy of Management Journal. The renowned journal is considered the best empirical management journal in the category of "Management" by the Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports 2015.
The award winning paper “Group emotions: Cutting the Gordian knots concerning terms, levels-of-analysis, and mechanisms” analyzes the emergence and consequences of group emotions. When people come together in groups they eventually begin to share emotions. These collectively experienced emotions are called group emotions. Thus, how we feel as individuals depends in part on those around us and the groups we are part of. “How we collectively feel impacts how we collectively act,” explains Menges. Teams that share positive emotions reach higher performance levels and feature less conflict than those who do not share such emotions. Also, departments that are infused with a negative feeling have higher staff turnover rates. In the following video Professor Jochen Menges explains how people in groups come to feel the same way and how such shared feeling affect group behavior:
