Special Issue Call for Papers: Thirty Years of Affective Events Theory: New Directions in the Knowledge Era

This special issue seeks to articulate the next generation of Affective Events Theory (AET, Weiss & Cropanzano, Citation1996) by revisiting its core propositions and extending them to the realities of contemporary work – characterized by knowledge intensity, datafication, digital interdependence, and AI-mediated experiences. Thirty years after its formulation, AET is uniquely positioned to explain how employees interpret, experience, and act upon the constant flow of affective micro-events that define modern work.
