“…This paradigm shift deepens our exploration into strategic leadership, particularly when addressing the intricate interplay between emotions and cognition that underpin strategic behaviors (Powell et al, 2011). This analysis resonates with the tenets posited by some scholars emphasizing the nuanced intersections between emotional reactions and strategic decision-making processes (Abatecola and Cristofaro, 2020;Cristofaro et al, 2022;Gaba et al, 2023).…”

PurposeThis paper elucidates the role of anger in error management (EM) and organizational learning behaviors. The study explores how anger can catalyze learning, emphasizing its strategic implications.Design/methodology/approachA double-layered moderated-mediated model was developed and tested using data from 744 Chinese CEOs. The psychometric properties of the survey instrument were rigorously examined through structural equation modeling, and hypotheses were tested using Hayes's PROCESS macros.FindingsThe findings reveal that anger is a precursor for recognizing the value of significant errors, leading to a positive association with learning behavior among top management team members. Additionally, the study uncovers a triple interaction effect of anger, EM culture and supply chain disruptions on the value of learning from errors. Extensive experience and positive grieving strengthen the relationship between recognizing value from errors and learning behavior.Originality/valueThis study uniquely integrates affect-cognitive theory and organizational learning theory, examining anger in EM and learning. The authors provide empirical evidence that anger can drive error value recognition and learning. The authors incorporate a more fine-grained approach to leadership when including executive anger as a trigger to learning behavior. Factors like experience and positive grieving are explored, deepening the understanding of emotions in learning. The authors consider both negative and positive emotions to contribute to the complexity of organizational learning.

“…In this Special Issue, we have highlighted the significance of behavioral strategy (Powell et al , 2011; Cristofaro et al , 2022) as a suitable framework for exploring nonrational forces in organizational decision-making. We encourage researchers to embrace this interdisciplinary field and engage in rigorous empirical studies, theoretical advancements and interdisciplinary collaborations.…”

BackgroundThe decision-making process of organizational agents has been investigated by management and organizational scholars due to its central role in influencing the operations and performance of organizations. In particular, since the emergence of the disrupting concept of bounded rationality (Simon, 1947)that questioned the previously dominating assumption of perfect rationalityscholarly interest has moved toward understanding the deviations of the human mind from logical and rational choice paths (Cristofaro, 2017).
