Abstract
Organizations influence employees to make decisions; however, little research explains affectivity in recruits for extremist organizations. 246 students participated to measure affective states between participants after reading faux extremist narratives. Findings support that inspirational narratives produced positive affectivity, predicting a decision. Rational narratives produced negative affectivity, not predicting a decision.
