Abstract: This paper presents a bibliometric and textual analysis of academic literature on emotions within the context of cross-cultural management. A bibliometric analysis uses co-citation and bibliographic coupling to reveal trends in the field, both past and present. Additionally, the Reinert lexicometric method is used to explore promising research directions as outlined in recent articles. The key findings suggest that the foundations of emotions in cross-cultural management lie in cultural and emotional intelligence, in the use of cultural dimensions as a framework for studying emotions, and in both international and psychological adaptation. These themes persist in current research with slight variations. Future research is expected to focus on empirical studies, developing theories of emotional intelligence, and contextual studies of acculturation, among other areas. Based on an integrative framework of emotions in cross-cultural management, we propose a research agenda and implications for practice.
