REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR 2010 SPECIAL ISSUES

Journal of Organizational Behavior

The Journal of Organizational Behavior (JOB, see http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jhome/4691) is soliciting proposals from scholars interested in serving as Guest Editors for up to three Special Issues of the journal to be published in 2010.  Guest Editors' responsibilities include identifying an appropriate special issue theme, and then securing and reviewing papers appropriate for the theme, including recruitment of appropriately qualified reviewers (three per paper, including at least one JOB Editorial Board member). JOB Special Issues typically comprise between five to seven papers. JOB will assist with administration of the Special Issue, including arranging for submission via the journal's Manuscript Central web site. Guest Editors are expected to maintain all due diligence, and to have some editorial experience.

Proposals should include:

·        Guest Editors' contact information, including phone, e-mail and postal addresses.

·        Qualifications of Guest Editors, including previous editorial experience.

·        A 500 to 1000-word overview of proposed theme.

·        Plans for publicizing the special issue, and for recruiting an appropriately qualified reviewing team.

·        A timeline, beginning with an initial Call for Papers that will appear in JOB in 2008; allowing for initial submission, revise and resubmit processing; and concluding with final papers being completed at least three months prior to the publication date.

·        A draft Call for Papers

Previous special issue topics include: Employment relationships (Vol. 24); OB in high reliability organizations (24); Reconceptualizing diversity in the workplace (25:6); Career success (26:2); Darwinian perspectives (27: 2); Commitment and identification (27: 5); Healthcare (27: 7); <st1:place w:st="on">OB</st1:place> in multinational organizations (28: 3).

Forthcoming topics include: Boundaryless career research; Contexts of positive <st1:place w:st="on">OB</st1:place>; Emerging positive agenda in organizations; Job design; Paradoxes of creativity; Professional business service industry; Specifying organisational contexts; Work/family balance.

The senior editorial team at JOB (Editor-in-Chief; Senior Editors; Associate Editors) will evaluate proposals. Please direct all questions to the JOB Editor-in-Chief Neal M. Ashkanasy n.ashkanasy@uq.edu.au.

Special issue proposals should be submitted to Managing Editor <st1:personname w:st="on">Kaylene Ascough</st1:personname> k.ascough@uq.edu.au by February 1, 2008.

Hello everyone
