(2008), we do not concentrate on specifying either
the variables determining the intensity or the varia-
bles indicating the threshold of the emotions. For
instance, for the case of Pride and Gratification, the
emotion intensity results from evaluating what the
actor is given to itself or to others, in relation to
what it can give. This might be seen as a conse-
quence or as measure of the actor’s morality. On the
other hand, the index of Joy focuses on what the
actor is receiving, in comparison to what it can re-
ceive, what measures the degree of achievement of
the actor goals.
It is important to notice the introduction of the
notion of solidarity, which is missing in Steunebrink
et al. as in OCC. This allows differentiating a diver-
sity of relationships between an actor and the others.
For instance, Admiration of actor A towards actor B
might happen not only because the action of B is of
direct interest for A, but also because it is of interest
for an actor C to whom A feels solidarity. This per-
mits to considerably increase the richness of the de-
scribed social relationships.
6 CONCLUSIONS
The paper show how emotions can be identified in
SocLab models of organizations by the definition of
indexes that evaluates the potential arousal of moral
emotions such as pride and guilt. Considering a con-
crete organization, it has illustrated how the
knowledge of the actors' emotional states improves
the understanding of the functioning of an organiza-
tion.
Considering the fact that social actors try to pre-
vent bad emotions and reach good ones, this opens
the way for the simulation algorithm to cope with
the emotions of actors. In the case study, the indexes
show low levels of moral emotions for some actors,
and thus, e.g., help in a diagnosis of the organisation
in order to design policies to improve the level of
engagement of those lowly engaged actors. These
policies would promote desirable norms of behav-
iour, taking into account moral emotions as incen-
tive/punishment in settling and strengthen those
norms, in order to increase collaboration in the or-
ganisation. This issue will be addressed in further
research.
