The advent of neuroscience and the accompanying technology allows us a specific categorization of emotional styles. Emotional styles are much closer to underlying brain systems than emotional states or traits. Based on neuroscientific findings, a taxonomy of six emotional styles (resilience, optimism, social intuition, self-awareness, context-awareness,& attention) has been conceptualized. The present study is geared to developing a psychometric measure of these six styles. A total number of 132 potential managers (72 males & 60 females) are individually administered a 60-item scale of emotional styles developed by the first author. In addition, two short versions of physical health and depression are also administered. The examination of group difference across male and female managers reveals no gender difference. However, female managers tend to report greater optimism and attention, though the difference does not reach the level of statistical significance. As expected, these positive dimensions of emotional styles are significantly inter-correlated. The implications of findings are outlined for future intervention programmes.Keywords

Happiness is viewed as a major positive organizational behavior construct. The present study tests the prediction that happiness and job satisfaction are significantly interrelated. In addition to this objective, male and female employees in an public sector undertaking are compared with respect to these variables. The predicted pattern of interrelationship among variables is supported. However there is no significant group difference. The findings are explained in the light of current conceptualizations of happiness and job satisfaction. Major implications are also suggested for intervention programmes.Keywords
