Because we love our place: the role of emotions in place-based leadership
研究了意大利艾米利亚-罗马涅大区Valle dei Cavalieri合作社的案例,探讨地方领导力如何通过互动仪式和集体欢腾将情感转化为集体行动,促进社区企业的形成,对可持续地方发展和农村韧性有贡献。
Place-based leadership (PBL) is critical to the economic and social vitality of places, as it emphasises collaboration, shared visions, and the mobilisation of human agency and collective action. While emotions are increasingly recognised as central to PBL, their role remains underexplored. This study investigates the case of the Valle dei Cavalieri cooperative in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy, to examine how PBL fosters the emergence of a community-based enterprise. We highlight the role of interaction rituals and collective effervescence in channelling emotions into collective action. Our findings contribute to the PBL literature, particularly regarding sustainable local development and rural resilience.
