Wheel of Emotions

Abstract

An emotion is an intense feeling which is generally temporary in nature and initiated or stimulated by internal or external factors. Emotions are often difficult to be comprehended and hence need a check to manage them. Earlier organizations were indifferent to the idea of understanding emotions of employees but with the advent of service industry, the importance of understand emotions has increased because the organizations want their employees to present themselves at their best. It has become pertinent for educational institutes to understand underlying emotional tides of students so that teachers can channelize them in the right direction in order to bring out best of a student’s abilities. This study aims to understand the significance of emotions and how a teacher can enhance the idea of understanding and managing their emotions with a comprehensive chart of ‘Wheel of Emotions’ developed by Psychologist Robert Plutchik.
