“…Stated differently, acting angrily is not the same as communicating in a serene manner that one feels angry. In so doing, we acknowledge Loosemore and Galea's (2008) earlier point that performance of men in construction tends to be assessed against toughness and decisiveness criteria, among other things. It is the acting out of anger, not necessarily its mere expression, that would be seen as fit for the context.…”

“…This is not an isolated case, and similar, if not more explicit, examples abound in the literature (e.g. Loosemore and Chau, 2002;Loosemore and Galea, 2008). In light of the above quote, we adopt Zeelenberg and colleagues' summary concerning the key aspects of emotions.…”

“…The case of a CPM detailed later strongly underscores this point. Thus, there is evidence to suggest that there is a normative legitimacy underlying the enactment of more decisive and assertive behaviours in construction (see Loosemore and Galea, 2008).…”

There is considerable evidence to suggest how positive and negative leader emotions influence a variety of positive and negative follower outcomes. However, little empirical evidence exists to suggest under what circumstances the enactment of negative emotions can yield desirable outcomes for individuals operating in a given organizational context. Drawing upon a series of semi-structured interviews with construction project managers ( n = 19) from the UK, this study offers valuable insights into how anger is frequently enacted to help individuals ensure the progress of the project, be it in negotiations with other parties or affairs on site with operatives.

“…A deamplified response in such a situation to this specific employee may result in the worker developing perceptions of the leader being fake (by falling below the expression threshold) or infer that the leader does not care about safety. An amplified expression of anger, to show decisiveness, in this case may be more appropriate to the situational requirements of a project manager's behavior when dealing with specific employees, and particularly those that circumvent safety rules on a regular basis (Loosemore & Galea, 2008).…”

“…It has been applied in business studies (C. Campbell et al, 2011;Cretchley et al, 2010;Dann, 2010;Liesch et al, 2011), in medical areas (Hewett et al, 2009;Watson, Smith, & Watter, 2005), psychological research and media and cultural studies (Hansson, Carey & Kjartansson, 2010;Isakhan, 2005;Wilson, 2010). It was also technically used to examine opinion polls (McKenna & Waddell, 2007), evaluate accident reports (Grech, Horberry, & Smith, 2002), and to analyse interview data obtained from industry (Loosemore & Galea, 2008).…”

Microblogging and its implications to Chinese civil society and the urban public sphere: A case study of Sina Weibo

Inside mainland China, some Anglophone social media such as Facebook and Twitter are blocked; as a result, savvy Chinese enterprises have invented alternative versions of these microblogging services-the best known being Weibo. Scholars have suggested that applications such as Weibo have created greater openness, transparency and engagement in the urban public sphere, and have contributed to a much deeper social change, in synergy with reforms in many social areas of contemporary China.This thesis aims to examine the role of microblogging in the following dimensions: (i) the public engagement in civil discourse about particular issues; (ii) the status quo and development of the public sphere within the context; and (iii) the interaction, synergy and reciprocity among the state, the urban public sphere, and civil society. To this end, the issue of how microblogging is involved in every aspect of ordinary Chinese people's lives is empirically investigated. Microblogging plays an important role in facilitating people making sense of what is happening in China through engaging in civil discourse about various social issues, and this civil engagement in return may exert profound impact on the country's concurrent reforms and democratisation process.Current new-media studies address only some aspects of the new-media use in some parts of the world, due to the strong historical association of the new technology with libertarian discourse, linguistic estrangement, and the reluctance of some Western researchers to learn from developments in other parts of the world. This thesis uses de-Westernised approaches and adopts a non-Western eye to examine the production, distribution and use of new media in a developing country, in an effort to boost intercultural collaboration in this field.The theoretical framework applied in this thesis originates from civil society and Habermas's conception of the public sphere, but emphatically focuses on its extrapolation to, and innovation in a Chinese context. A wide range of political, cultural and societal perspectives are employed to explain the uniqueness and non-replicability of microblogging's impact on the process of constructing an online civil society in contemporary China.This thesis uses two sets of methods: (i) case studies, all three of which involve Sina Weibo-one of the many Weibo services as the main platform and (ii) mixed methods of quantitative and qualitative approaches that combines content analysis and media discourse analysis to analyse the data collected in this research. 3Drawing from the civil discourse practices in the three case studies, the thesis conceptualises three nuanced interactional modes of the Chinese state-society relations: confrontation, positive interaction and negotiation, and thereby concludes that the state-society relations should not be confined to a simple, static dichotomy, but rather be looked at in a more dynamic and diversified way. The "plasticity" of Weibo in facilitating an online public sphere provides many explanatory possi...
