Release Date: April 30, 2025
Dr. Brad Gilbreath, professor in the Hasan School of Business at Colorado State University Pueblo (海角禁区 Pueblo), has developed pioneering research identifying five distinct emotional regulation profiles in employees. The research has significant implications for workplace performance and well-being. This groundbreaking work has been selected for presentation at the Academy of Management Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in July 2025.
Dr. Gilbreath's study, “Emotional Regulation Motives and Tactics at Work: A Latent Profile Approach,” reveals how different emotional management strategies impact job performance, team effectiveness, and employee burnout rates. The research demonstrates that employees who balance personal and organizational goals employ more effective emotional regulation tactics, resulting in measurably improved workplace outcomes.
“Our findings provide clear pathways for organizations to enhance workplace effectiveness through targeted emotional regulation support,” said Dr. Gilbreath. “We've identified specific interventions that can help employees develop healthier emotional regulation approaches, benefiting both individuals and organizations.”
The research offers practical applications for businesses, including recommendations to:
- Strengthen organizational support systems that enhance emotional regulation capabilities
- Implement hiring practices that identify candidates with strong emotional competence
- Develop targeted training programs promoting effective emotional regulation strategies
- Foster prosocial motivation among employees to improve overall emotional regulation
Dr. Gilbreath conducted this research with co-authors from several institutions, creating a comprehensive analysis that examines how organizational resources and personal emotional competence affect workplace dynamics.
The Academy of Management Conference, widely recognized as the premier global forum for management research, provides an international platform for 海角禁区 Pueblo's contributions to management science and organizational psychology.
