Enthusiasm and preoccupation about the use of neuroscientific tools

EnthusiasmNeuroscience may provide a new source of data for advancing theory in organizationsAshkanasy, Becker and Waldman (2014); Becker, Cropanzano and Sanfey (2011); Healey and Hodgkinson (2014); Lee, Senior and Butler (2012); Senior, Lee and Butler (2011); Waldman, Balthazard and Peterson (2011a); Molenberghs et al.

Neuroscience can complement Psychology, allowing researchers to understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for an individual's emotional and behavioral interactions and experiences in the workplaceReina, Peterson and Waldman (2015); Niven and Boorman (2016), Pinazo et al. (2016); Bischoff et al. (2013), Waegeman et al. (2014); Hinvest et al. (2014); and Wong, Xue and Bechara (2011) 
Neuroscience can be useful in analyzing processes related to morals, justice and values for decision-making, understanding that there is a biological substrate for human moralsBraeutigam, Lee and Senior (2019); Cropanzano, Massaro and Becker (2017); Salvador and Folger (2009), Emonds et al. (2011); and Mason, Dyer and Norton (2009) 
Research in organizations needs cognitive neuroscience to benefit from the theories and discoveries of this field and add its techniques to the set of existing scientific management methodsMcDonald (2018); Balthazard et al. (2012); Laureiro-Martínez et al. (2015); Laureiro-Martínez and Brusoni (2018); and Waldman, Balthazard and Peterson (2011b)
PreoccupationResearch results using neuroscience methods can be accepted simplistically, falling short of the methodological standards of investigation methods established in organizational researchLindebaum and Jordan (2014); Lindebaum and Zundel (2013), Healey and Hodgkinson (2014); Lindebaum (2016); and Jack et al. (2019) 
Debates on the challenges of Neuroscience in different areas: Neuroeconomics, Neuromarketing and information systemsKonovalov and Krajbich (2019), Fugate (2007); Lee and Yun (2019); Dulleck et al. (2011); and Carter, Meyer and Huettel (2010) 
Ethical, logical and empirical reasons for using neuroscientific methods in organizational researchLindebaum and Jordan (2014); and Lindebaum and Zundel (2013)
