Immersive technologies are more effective than non-immersive alternatives in reducing emotional ambivalence. • Emotional ambivalence can be exogenously or endogenously modified. • Higher pre-existing emotional ambivalence predicts greater effect of immersive technologies, lower with managerial power. • Studies of emotional ambivalence in organizations should account for managerial power. • Managerial power moderates emotional responses to immersive technologies, with lower effects at higher power
