Liz Yeomans

Public Relations as Emotional Labour

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Inextricably linked to neoliberal market economies, Public Relations' influence in our promotional culture is profound. Yet many aspects of the profession are under-researched, including the impact on workers who construct displays of feeling to elicit a desired emotional response, to earn trust and manage clients.
