CEOs’ mood: A conceptualisation proposal
lthough many conceptualizations and scales exist to measure the employee’s mood, no study has confirmed their relevance to CEO. Based on 20 individual interviews and 360 questionnaires collected from French CEOs, this article proposes a conceptualization and measurement of the CEO’s mood. It highlights the specific construction of the CEO’s mood compared to the employees’ one, but also its multidimensionality, the influence of personal and professional items, the double emotional value and its non-gendered nature.
