N2 - Purpose: In this summative chapter, the volume editors discuss some of the “antidotes” to negative emotions that the authors in this volume have set out.Design: The summary is arranged in five sections: (1) Negative emotions as learning opportunities; (2) attributions and cognitive reframing; (3) importance of emotional intelligence; (4) leader empathy and organizational support; and (5) benefits of solving employee negative emotions.Findings: Despite the pervasiveness of negative emotions and experiences in organizations, they can lead to positive outcomes if handled appropriately.Research Implications: The chapters focus on a wide variety of important but under-researched topics in emotions and affect; and contain many original solutions to dealing with such emotions that may ultimately prove beneficial to organizations.Practical Implications: Organizations that are good at helping their employees cope with negative emotions have a competitive advantage in improving their employees’ job performance and organizational commitment.Social Implications: The negative emotions examined in the volume chapters have an impact on employee well-being. Thus, coping with these emotions is crucial to society.Originality/ value: The chapters in this volume provide a variety of original solutions to what some might see as an “epidemic”’ of negativity in organizations.
