Love and loneliness, in both their presence and absence, are key
aspects of our lives - including our working lives. Love and
Loneliness at Work offers an accessible and practical starting
point for understanding the connections between emotions,
individual working life and organizations, focusing on love and
loneliness. The book begins with an engaging chapter-length case
study that illuminates the themes discussed. Taking a psychodynamic
perpective, Bonnerup and Hasselager examine love and how it
influences our feelings about tasks, organizations and
participation, as well as uniquely exploring pairs in working life.
The book explores loneliness as an inner state of mind, as an
aspect of the professional role and as a group dynamic experience,
and assesses the psychological burden of feeling lonely in an
organization. Bonnerup and Hasselager also provide an overview of
key theoretical concepts, including the unconscious, anxiety,
libido, projective processes, and the concepts of inner and outer
self, providing the tools required to examine, understand and work
with the emotional strength and vulnerability of an organization.
This book provides unique insights into how understanding these
feelings can help leaders, decision makers and employees contribute
to healthier and happier workplaces. It will be an essential guide
for coaches in practice and in training, as well as leaders and
managers, human resources (HR) and learning and development
(L&D) professionals and consultants within organizations
seeking to expand their understanding of organizational dynamics.
With its strong theoretical base, it will also be of interest to
academics and students of coaching, coaching psychology,
psychodynamic consulting, organizational psychology, leadership and
management and organizational change, and to anyone seeking an
insight into the emotional dynamics of working life.
