Emotions are an area of research commanding increasing scholarly attention in the field of leadership;
yet, a focus on the cognitive processing of leaders has potentially obscured the impact
that their emotions can have on shareholder reactions. Accordingly, this study contributes to extant
theory by introducing the concept of emotional knowledge transfer, i.e., theemotional signals
used for transmission and receipt of knowledge. Testable hypotheses are derived that explore the
relationship between leader emotional and explicit knowledge transfer and shareholder reactions.
A short-term event study is conducted across a sample of recorded CEO interviews and analyzed
using random-effects regressions. Findings indicate that leaders' explicit and emotional
knowledge transfer impact shareholder reactions negatively, and that leaders try to align emotional
knowledge transfer with the explicit message they intend to convey.^^^^
