In our day to day life
we all come across the word “emotions”. They are an important part of the human
behavior and the interplay of emotions has a big impact on the organization
behavior as well.
In general, the term "emotion" is used to designate "a state of
consciousness having to do with the arousal of feelings (Webster‟s
New World Dictionary)." It is "distinguished from other mental
states, from cognition, volition, and awareness of physical sensation."
Feeling refers to "any of the subjective reactions, pleasant or
unpleasant" that one may experience in a situation.
An emotion is a mental and physiological state
associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behavior. Emotions
are subjective experiences, often associated with mood, temperament,
personality, and disposition. The English word 'emotion' is derived from the
French word émouvoir. This is based on the Latin emovere, where e-
(variant of ex-) means 'out'.
1. A mental state that arises spontaneously rather than
through conscious effort and is often accompanied by physiological changes; a

2. A state of mental agitation or disturbance: spoke
unsteadily in a voice that betrayed his emotion. See synonyms at feeling.

sensibility
