This essay offers insight into methods for qualitatively capturing emotions in strategic organization research, a theme that has attracted increasing interest in the literature, but that raises methodological challenges. We review how researchers have examined emotions in the following three domains of strategic organization research—organizational processes, institutional processes, and strategizing activities. We discuss the ontological assumptions about emotion in each of these areas, and explain how researchers in each area examine particular aspects of the multi-dimensional phenomenon of emotion. We identify specific challenges in capturing emotions in each area, as well as the strategies that researchers use to address them. We outline a repertoire of coding resources and guidelines for the convenient use of future researchers. Finally, we evaluate the strengths and limits of each approach, and identify avenues for future research.

本文提供了对战略组织研究中定性捕捉情感的方法的见解，这一主题已引起文学界越来越多的兴趣，但也带来了方法论上的挑战。我们回顾研究人员如何研究以下三个战略组织研究领域的情绪：组织过程，制度过程和战略活动。我们讨论了每个领域中关于情感的本体论假设，并解释了每个领域的研究人员如何研究情感的多维现象的特定方面。我们确定了捕捉每个区域中的情绪的具体挑战，以及研究人员用来解决这些情绪的策略。我们概述了一系列编码资源和指南，以方便将来的研究人员使用。最后，
