This chapter seeks to advance the theory and practice of self-development by exploring the relationship of emotion in that process. The chapter will first examine the nature of emotions and their role in learning generally. The processes involved in self-development will then be elaborated to guide an exploration of roles of emotions. Finally, the chapter will conclude with a discussion of the cultural context of emotions and their implication for the self-development process.

Drawing on a diversified literature associated with experiential learning, emotion research, and social cognitive theories of change, the nature of self-development is explored. It is argued that underpinning effective self-development is the integrated operation of three metaskills—skills that are required for the development of other skills—relating to one's ability to manage emotional reactions to feedback, to carry out effectively the practice of self-reflection, and to enact self-regulatory processes for development. The SDLD framework extends formal organization-based leadership-development practices and integrates multiple processes to aid leaders and human resource development (HRD) practitioners in the promotion and enactment of leadership self-development. The framework also provides guidance for HRD research on self-development and a number of research implications are presented.

Yet smoking remains a massive health problem for Australia, and there is evidence that progress on quitting has stalled. With promotion of cigarettes through advertising, point of sale promotion and pack display banned, and smoking removed from enclosed public places throughout Australia, it’s not obvious what additional steps can be taken to make it easier for attempting quitters to permanently quit smoking. This paper argues that restrictions on tobacco retailing may provide an effective way to reduce impulse purchases by smokers and attempting quitters, and thus improve the success of quit attempts in Australia.

In addition, we examined whether job autonomy would influence the relationship between self-leadership behaviors and these work outcomes. We used a sample of 407 supervisor–subordinate dyads from a wide variety of organizations located in the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong. Results showed a positive relationship between subordinates’ self-leadership behaviors to supervisor performance rating, and to job satisfaction, even when controlling for the personality trait of conscientiousness. However, self-leadership was not significantly related to objective job performance. In addition, job autonomy moderated the relationships between self- leadership behaviors and work outcomes of performance ra...

Yet evidence shows that attempting quitters still struggle to stop smoking in Australia, raising the question of what factors continue to prompt smoking, and whether further policy initiatives could help attempting quitters and smokers to quit, or smoke less. In this paper we explore the stimuli that precipitate smoking and failed quit attempts, using a novel method of real-time collection of in-depth data from smokers and attempting quitters. We find that smoking is becoming denormalised, resulting in lower levels of smoking, and in the absence of cues to smoke, many smokers and attempting quitters can abstain from smoking. Conversely, we find that ongoing cues to smoke, including the mere sight of outlets selling tobacco and the associated signage, result in cues to smoke that make it difficult for attempting quitters to stop smoking. We discuss the implications for theory, for policy to limit the health and economic costs of smoking, and for better advice to attempting quitters.
