Ma thĂšse : « Le rĂŽle de l’expertise Ă©motionnelle des employĂ©s face Ă  la supervision abusive »

🎓 Big News! đŸŽ‰đŸ„łÂ    —– >   11th of December 2023

Thrilled to announce that I’ve officially earned my Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior! 🎉

After a journey filled with research, meetings, and many incredible people, I’m excited to share this achievement.

🌟 My thesis, “The Role of Employees’ Emotional Expertise in Confronting Abusive Supervision,” takes a thorough analysis of the intricate world of workplace emotions.

🔾 From Spinoza to sociopsychology, it’s been a ride of discoveries and unexpected insights!

🔍 Unraveling the historical evolution of emotional intelligence, the first co-authored article crafted a narrative that bridges the past with our modern understanding. Three empirical studies uncovered the relevance of emotional expertise in navigating the affective waves with abusive supervision and employee prosocial outcomes.

đŸ€Ż Who would’ve thought higher emotional intelligence might sometimes throw a curveball by reducing forgiveness? It’s all in there, challenging assumptions and paving the way for fresh perspectives in organizational behavior.

🌐 Beyond the academic excitement, my thesis isn’t just a document; it’s an invitation for future explorations in the delicate interplay between inherent abilities and acquired responses in the workplace. Emphasizing the importance of emotional abilities is not enough… what are the motives to regulate emotions at work? Fostering ethical policies in a trustworthy and caring environment is crucial! 🔆

đŸ„‚ Cheers to the countless hours of dedication, the support of mentors and colleagues, and the uncharted territories of knowledge explored! A massive thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey. 🙏

Excited about what lies ahead in leveraging emotional expertise to create more sustainable workplace transformations!

🔾 De Spinoza Ă  la sociopsychologie, ce fut une aventure de dĂ©couvertes et d’Ă©clairages inattendus !
đŸ€Ż Qui aurait pensĂ© qu’une intelligence Ă©motionnelle plus Ă©levĂ©e pourrait parfois rĂ©duire le pardon ? Tout ceci ouvre la voie Ă  de nouvelles perspectives en matiĂšre de comportement organisationnel.

🌐 Et n’oublions pas l’aspect pratique : souligner l’importance de l’expertise Ă©motionnelle et favoriser les politiques Ă©thiques, la confiance et l’Ă©quilibre travail-vie personnelle dans un paysage professionnel controversĂ© actuel.

đŸ„‚ Un immense merci Ă  tous ceux qui ont fait partie de ce voyage.

Fortitude – fermetĂ© et gĂ©nĂ©rositĂ© comme comprĂ©hension joyeuse de la nĂ©cessitĂ©

#Fortitude

âœłïž Le soin (care) est essentiel Ă  une existence pleine de sens, et le soutien est le langage silencieux de la compassion qui relie les cƓurs en cas de besoin 🧡💛

📌 Spinoza pensait que les humains avaient un Ă©lan rationnel pour agir de maniĂšre morale (cad bienveillante) envers les autres Ă  partir d’un point de dĂ©part de pur intĂ©rĂȘt personnel :

“Le dĂ©sir de faire du bien qu’engendre en nous le fait que nous vivions sous la conduite de la raison, je l’appelle moralitĂ© (pietas).” (Eth. IV, Prop. 37, scolie 1).

✅ Spinoza a Ă©galement dĂ©clarĂ© “Le bien que dĂ©sire pour lui-mĂȘme tout homme qui pratique la vertu, il le dĂ©sirera Ă©galement pour les autres hommes” (Eth. IV, Prop. 37).

🔋 Spinoza a appelĂ© la fortitude, le pouvoir d’agir selon notre entendement, et l’a divisĂ© en deux catĂ©gories (Éthique III, Prop 59, Note) :

“Toutes les actions qui rĂ©sultent de cet ordre d’affections qui se rapportent Ă  l’Ăąme en tant qu’elle pense, constituent la force d’Ăąme (fortitude). Il y en a deux sortes : la fermetĂ© (animositas) et la gĂ©nĂ©rositĂ© (generositas).

J’entends par fermetĂ©, ce dĂ©sir qui porte chacun de nous Ă  faire effort pour conserver son ĂȘtre en vertu des seuls commandements de la raison.

J’entends par gĂ©nĂ©rositĂ©, ce dĂ©sir qui porte chacun de nous, en vertu des seuls commandements de la raison, Ă  faire effort pour aider les autres hommes et se les attacher par les liens de l’amitiĂ©.”

🔆 FermetĂ© et gĂ©nĂ©rositĂ© ne sont donc, en rĂ©alitĂ©, rien d’autre que la comprĂ©hension joyeuse de la nĂ©cessitĂ© (voir Jaquet et al., 2003) 🔆

🌀 En cette nouvelle annĂ©e qui commence, nous pourrions Ă©couter la citation d’Albert Schweitzer :

“Le but de la vie humaine est de servir, de faire preuve de compassion et de volontĂ© d’aider les autres. C’est seulement alors que nous devenons nous-mĂȘmes de vĂ©ritables ĂȘtres humains.” 🎁

English version:

âœłïž Care is essential to a meaningful existence, and support is the silent language of compassion that bridges hearts in times of need 🧡💛

📌 Spinoza thought humans have a rational impetus to act in moral (that is, benevolent) ways toward others from a starting point of pure self-interest:

“The desire to do good generated in us by our living according to the guidance of reason, I call morality” (Eth. IV, Prop. 37, sch. 1).

✅ Spinoza also stated “The good which everyone who seeks virtue wants for himself, he also desires for other men” (Eth. IV, Prop. 37).

🔋 Spinoza called fortitude the power to act following our understanding, and divided it into two categories (Ethics III, Prop 59, Note):

“All the actions which follow from the emotions which are related to the mind insofar as it thinks I ascribe to fortitude, which I divide into strength of mind (animositas) and generosity (generositas).

By ‘strength of mind’ I mean the desire by which each person endeavors from the dictates of reason alone to preserve his own being.

By ‘generosity’ I mean the desire by which, from the dictates of reason alone, each person endeavors to help other people and to join them to him in friendship.”

🔆 Strength of mind and generosity are, therefore, in reality, nothing other than the joyful understanding of necessity (See Jaquet et al., 2003) 🔆

🌀 On this starting new year, we might heed Albert Schweitzer’s quote:

“The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others. Only then have we ourselves become true human beings.” 🎁
