About

Past research has identified a wide variety of emotions and emotional engagements among school leaders and teachers including passion, excitement and satisfaction. However, the literature often centers on negative emotions of school leaders, such as fear of failure, anxiety and disillusionment with the system.

Thus far, most research on this issue has focused almost entirely on western educational systems. This book departs from that and highlights the connection between culture and emotion management in these settings, and allows researchers from different parts of the world to demonstrate how national and local culture influence the way educational leaders and teachers express their feelings, display their emotion, or suppress emotion in public. Emotion Management in Teaching and Education Leadership allows teachers and educational leaders from both traditional and marginalized societies to tell their own stories of feelings, emotion management, and emotion regulation at work. By expanding our knowledge beyond the cultural boundaries of Anglo-American nations and evoking new considerations in the research on emotion in organizations, this book will prove invaluable for researchers and school leaders.

This book provides a salutary and long overdue look at the role that emotions play in educational leadership in diverse cultural contexts…I am delighted to highly commend this book to all educational leadership scholars and students.

In this exploration of emotional aspects of educational leadership, international contributors present cases from Israel, China, England, Spain, Turkey, and Chile, demonstrating how national and local culture influence the ways that educational leaders and teachers deal with and express emotions. Much of the book offers interviews with practitioners and their experiences. Some topics discussed include emotional management strategies of junior high teachers in Shanghai, emotion expression among Arab principals in Israel, and emotions of a Turkish school leader in a temporary education center for Syrian children.
