COMM750 Bulletin Description

Advanced theory and philosophy of research issues in the field of communication.

COMM750 Course Description

This graduate course in organizational communication explores the different ways emotion is socially constructed through communication and interaction, and how emotion issues—including emotional performances, emotional control, emotional abuse, emotion work/ labor—manifest in everyday organizational life. Rational-functional perspectives of organizations suggest that emotion is inappropriate in organizational life, but the expression and management of feeling is ever-present and unavoidable in these settings. Employee talk and organizational rhetoric perpetuate and naturalize emotion norms. Employees engage in emotional activity via social interactions, whether that activity is emotional abuse, emotion labor, or emotional support. Organizational members cope with stress and burnout through interaction, story telling, joking and advice giving.

Topics about emotion include theoretical perspectives, positive emotion, destructive emotion, emotion labor, emotion management, and so forth. Through class discussions, readings and assignments, students will learn the value of understanding how emotion issues—both organizational rules about them and employees’ ways of dealing with them—are central to the study of organizational communication. The class is a graduate seminar, and as such, students will spend significant time reading and analyzing advanced texts, generating discussion based upon these texts, and bringing in their own ideas from outside, original, research.

The measurable goals of the course are as follows:

1. Increase the volume of research articles and chapters that graduate students have read about the subject area

2. Increase knowledge about emotions and how communication both reflects and creates emotional life

3. Increase number of graduate student publication submissions in subject area4. Increase number of graduate student conference submissions and presentations in the subject

area5. Increase level of subject area information graduate students incorporate into classes they are or

will be teaching

Articles/Chapters (posted on Blackboard course site). Found through login at https://bb.ndsu.nodak.edu/

JOIN EMONET. Within the first few weeks of the semester, students should send an email to Neal Ashkanasy (http://www.emotionsnet.org/emonet-list-server/) requesting to become a member of “Emonet”—the primary listserv community of emotion and organizing scholars. The link to the site is http://www.emotionsnet.org/.

Class Assignments and Requirements (Total 450 Points)

**All written assignments will be submitted via the Blackboard course site “Assignment” link.

1. Semester Research Project & Presentation. Any of the following may be conducted individually or with a partner. Students are encouraged, but not required, to work with a partner on the project. Co-authors will receive the same grade—so students are advised to choose partners with care.

Part One: RATIONALE FOR STUDYING EMOTIONS (100 Points). All students will craft a formal, written literature review outlining past arguments (i.e., rationales) for why it is important to study emotion in organizations. This literature review assignment has three goals:

a) to teach the process of crafting a literature synthesis-argument, b) to familiarize students with key arguments about studying emotion, and c) to form a foundation for the final project.

I will assign the key articles that all students will read and use as the foundation of their rationale papers, and students will choose 10 additional articles/chapters per student author about their specific emotion-topic of interest. That is, if two students work on the paper, they will read the assigned articles and 20 additional articles/chapters.

Students read the articles or chapters, find the authors’ rationales and arguments for why the study of emotions in organizational communication is important and even vital, and organize the rationales into a creative synthesis. Rationale papers should be approximately five (5) pages in length double-spaced. To view a creative synthesis, see To view a creative synthesis, see Powell, G. N.,& Foley, S. (1998). Something to talk about or Lutgen-Sandvik (2003) Communicative cycle of employee emotional abuse.

Part Two: FINAL ASSIGNMENT SMORGASBORD! (200 Points). If there is a project that you would like to complete that varies from one of these, please feel free to approach me with the idea. All final projects are 20-to-25-pages in length, which includes the rationale. The rationale may also serve as the literature review, depending on how it is crafted. (Please use APA 6th Edition style.)

Emotion in Organizations Syllabus (COMM750)

OPTION 1

Synthesis (i.e., Creative Literature Review), Theory. Student may write a 20-to-25-page paper on an issue related to emotion and communication in organizations. Students are encouraged to make use of the readings we do in this class as they devise their semester project. Possibilities for this paper comprehensive literature reviews (e.g., check out examples in Communication Yearbook) or theory-based papers that link theory and practice or develop new theories.

OPTION 2

Original Research. This option is analyzing emotions in a particular setting or population. This project asks students to conduct original research within and write a 20-to-25-page paper including literature review, methods, findings, discussion, and conclusion. Possibilities include studies that are qualitative or quantitative in nature, advanced case analyses, or other approaches that fit research questions. Possible research questions that students may explore include:

What are the emotion rules? How do people communicatively create and enforce emotion rules? How are emotions apparent in how people work together? What is the impact of emotion management on workers, workgroups, and organizations? How do employees use specific emotions at work (humor, sarcasm, emotion labor, etc.)? What emotions are associated with a particular phenomenon? How is emotion “written-out” of emotional topics (look at the sex/sexual harassment pieces

for examples but there are many others)

Certainly, students can ask any question of interest, as long as the question can be answered; this list provides but a few possibilities. Students should link their projects to the course literature so must decide which pieces explain or support the research focus. Students will read additional research that focuses specifically on the topic of interest.  

OPTION 3

Training. Develop an in-depth organizational training on emotion and why understanding and valuing emotion is important. Create practical suggestions on how organizations might become more “emotion-rich” or “emotion-smart.” The final project should be a 20-to-25 page “training manual” of sorts with three parts: (1) Executive Summary (=1 p.), (2) Literature Review of the argument (Part One Rationale) and then literature specific to the training topic (= 9-10 pp.), (3) Training content and logistics (14-15 pp.).

OPTION 4

Grant Proposal. This option is writing a 20-to-25-page grant proposal on an issue related to emotions and communication in organizations (students are encouraged to make use of the readings in this class as they devise this project). Depending on the granting agency chosen, the requirements of the proposal will differ. Generally, however, the proposal will include:

a) Problem statementb) Conceptual framework/literature reviewc) Research methodsd) Potential outcomese) Budgetf) (any other specific protocol called for in the application)

ALL OPTIONS:

3

Emotion in Organizations Syllabus (COMM750)

Part Three: CONFERENCE PRESENTATION (25 Points) The last day we meet at semester-end, students will give a 10-to-15-minute oral presentation of the final project. Use this as an opportunity to practice a conference-quality presentation, complete with visual aids if appropriate.

Power Point Use: I encourage you to try to use PPT for these presentations but do so in a different manner than “slide-alogues” or “data dumps.” Check out Garr Reynold’s website http://www.garrreynolds.com/preso-tips/ for basic direction about using PPT, especially #2 on Design. I will grade your use of PPT with this point in mind.

2. Discussion-Leading. (20 points) Each student will lead class discussion of the assigned readings one week during the semester. Discussion-leading will provide an opportunity to practice concept-integration skills and presentation abilities. Dates for discussion-leading will be chosen within the first two weeks of class. Please touch base with me to discuss the readings to cover and the time range of your discussion-leading.

 Discussion leaders should provide an outline summarizing the readings’ main points and present / integrate the main concepts from readings in an interactive, lively manner. Furthermore, prepare 3-5 Discussion Questions for students to ponder and respond to in class. All students are encouraged to respond to these questions both on-line via the discussion board and in class. Discussion leaders will be graded on

a) submitting questions and summaries/outlines on time; b) creating discussion questions that move your colleagues to ponder key ideas and their

application; c) providing an outline or summary that is succinct yet thorough and readable and

includes page numbers; d) eliciting lively discussion; and e) displaying a command of the topic.

Reading Summaries/Outlines and Discussion Questions are due one week before the associated class. Upload Discussion Outlines to the Assignment link; post Discussion Questions to a new discussion thread on Blackboard.  

3. Three (3) Research Reports. (30 points; 10 points each) One of the key goals in the course is to expose students to as much of the literature about emotions in organizations as possible. To do this, we will “divide and conquer,” so to speak. To cover much more territory than we could if everyone were required to read all cited pieces in the syllabus, each student will read and summarize three (3) “report” readings (in less than 2 single-spaced pages on one sheet of paper). Reports will provide everyone with an extensive abstract database of important articles.

The Report Options are on the syllabus according to weekly topics. Students will choose which articles they want to use. Students may also choose something outside of these options, as long as the chosen article is in a Communication Journal or written by an organizational or interpersonal communication researcher and is directly applicable to emotions in organizations. The 1-2 page single-spaced Reports should include:

a) Your name and date Report is turned inb) The full citation of the article (APA style)c) A summary of the article with page numbers (this can be a sentence or phrase outline or in

paragraph format)d) Close by taking a position on the piece, noting one or two strengths, one or two weaknesses

or limitations, or different direction for future research.

4

Page 5: Emotions in Organizations

Emotion in Organizations Syllabus (COMM750)

Students will discuss the reports in 3 to 5-minute informal talks. DO NOT READ THESE TO US! Reports will be graded based on a succinct yet meaningful summary, clarity of position, appropriate use of theoretical concepts, and extemporaneous quality of presentation and writing. See Blackboard for a report example.  

4. Participation (Attendance/Discussion) (50 Points). Students should complete assigned readings before class and participate in seminar discussions in an enthusiastic, informed manner. To do so, it might be helpful to make notes as you read about questions and issues to pursue in the seminar discussion. To participate, students can offer (among other things):

a) a simple factual questiona) a point which reveals a methodological assumptionb) a critique of a research piecec) a strong point which merits our admirationd) a clarification that will help everyone to understand a class concept bettere) an application to your research project or to some other personal experience

I will evaluate the participation part of the grade by making weekly notations regarding the quality and quantity of evidenced preparedness and participation. Students should strive to (1) clearly evidence their close reading and thinking about the week’s materials, and (2) be physically and intellectually present for the entire course period (avoiding late arrivals and early departures).  

5. Emonet Summary (20 points) and Post (5 points). (25 Points). Sign up for Emonet as soon as class starts and follow the posts that come through. This is a two-part assignment.

a) Save the listserv EMONET posts over the first 2/3rds of the semester. Before Thanksgiving, write a 1-2 page single spaced description of the content patterns you’ve found in the listserv users’ posts. What are listserv users talking about in terms of emotions and organizations (key themes, post purposes, topics, resources, etc.)?

b) Sometime during the semester, post an original thread to Emonet or respond to one of the threads (a substantive response, not just “I liked your idea about …”). Be sure to be respectful. See the following for guides to netiquette:

http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html

Ideas for posts:

a) Key idea in one of the readings that points to a gap in current researchb) New source that you found when looking for articles on your subject of interestc) Specific applications of theoretical ideas or empirical data/findingsd) Any of the above in response to someone else’s poste) Use your imagination

6. GENOS EI Assessment Summary. (25 Points) Complete the GENOS Emotional Intelligence Inventory – Short (Self-Assessment). Write a one-page summary of your reflections on the results. What did you learn? What did you already know? With what did you disagree or agree?

Assignments and Due Dates:

Part One and Two written assignments are due end-of-day on due date indicated in syllabus (11:55 p.m.). Part 1 is due October 16; Part 2 is due 12/18/13.

Class Policies

Absences: Of course I expect you to be in class. However, if there is a serious emergency or illness, please let me know. If you miss a class, you must make up the participation points by writing an additional article report on an unassigned reading and respond to the discussion questions (DQs) on the Blackboard course site, if DQs are posted. Your makeup report and discussion responses will be due by the next class meeting. 

Late work: All late assignment will be penalized up to 10% for each day it is late up to 50%. Due to logistical constraints, discussion-leading and reports will only receive credit when completed on the day scheduled. No assignments will be accepted after December 13th when the final paper is due.

Course work as a whole: All assignments must be completed in order to pass the course.

Incompletes: According to NDSU Policy, “Under extraordinary circumstances and at the discretion of the instructor, a student may be assigned a grade of Incomplete (I).” NDSU has an exceedingly strict policy about Incompletes, and I follow this policy to the letter. See NDSU Policy 336.

Attendance, Absences: According to NDSU Policy 333, attendance in classes is expected, and attendance is particularly important for graduate courses where so much of the learning occurs in the seminar group discussions. If students must miss class due to serious illness or emergency, they will have to complete an extra Report Option to makeup for missed participation.

Disabilities: Any students with disabilities or other special needs, who need special accommodations in this course are invited to share these concerns or requests with the instructor and contact the Disability Services Office (www.ndsu.edu/disabilityservices) as soon as possible.

Academic Integrity: Each student is expected to maintain the highest standards of honesty and integrity in academic and professional matters. The academic community is operated on the basis of honesty, integrity, and fair play. NDSU Policy 335: Code of Academic Responsibility and Conduct applies to cases in which cheating, plagiarism, or other academic misconduct have occurred in an instructional context. Students found guilty of academic misconduct are subject to penalties, up to and possibly including suspension and/or expulsion. Student academic misconduct records are maintained by the Office of Registration and Records. Informational resources about academic honesty for students and instructional staff members can be found at http://www.ndsu.edu/academichonesty.

In this graduate course, you are expected to know APA style for citing outside sources. Plagiarism is one of the most serious ethical missteps a student can make, so it is imperative to give credit where credit is due.
