Abstract: 

Failure of organizations to survive has been a common occurrence over centuries, and particularly in the modern era of start-ups, innovation and political, environmental and economic turbulence. The emotions that accompany failure, in and of organizations, and their consequences, have been researched in multiple domains of management but comparative approaches have seldom been attempted. This paper therefore contributes to the literature by explicating the types of emotions that emanate during and after failure across many domains of management research, their dimensions and contributing factors, and the consequences for the individual actor. The model of the emotions of failure that is presented here offers avenues for further research, as we approach an era of even more demanding changes at all levels of society.
