Emotional Dimensions of Educational Administration and Leadership
explores foundational theories for emotional dimensions of
educational administration and leadership as they influence our
understanding, analysis and practice in the field. It covers a
broad range of topics, such as ethics, authority, personality,
social justice, gender discrimination, organisational culture,
decision-making, accountability and marketisation. The first
section, 'Theoretical Foundations', includes discussion of the
early modern romantic philosophy that produced the heroic notion of
leadership, the idealist philosophy of Hegel, existential concerns
through Kierkegaard, the contributions of psychoanalysis, and
Habermasian critical theory. The second section, 'Types of
Emotional Analysis', includes examinations of the material culture,
emotional economies, the politics of emotion, and the relationship
between emotion and rationality. The last section, 'Critical and
Contemporary Issues', includes critiques of the fear arising from
accountability regimes, the political economy of the market model,
a feminist critique of ideologies reflecting emotional investments,
narrative expressions for the emotional context of teamwork, the
problem of narcissism, and the emotional dimensions of role
engagement. This volume explores an area that is only just
re-emergent in the last few years. The collection demonstrates the
relevance to practical issues and problems internationally, both
within the organisational context and extra-organisationally with a
focus on the application of emotional factors as they affect our
understanding of, and practice in, educational organisations. The
emotions of education affect the implementation of political values
and culture within organisations.
