The Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology aims to increase understanding of people and organisations at work including:
industrial, organizational, work, vocational and personnel psychology
behavioural and cognitive aspects of industrial relations
ergonomics and human factors
Innovative or interdisciplinary approaches with a psychological emphasis are particularly welcome. So are papers which develop the links between occupational/organisational psychology and other areas of the discipline, such as social and cognitive psychology.
We welcome the following varieties of paper:
empirical research papers containing new quantitative or qualitative data which address significant theoretical and/or practical concerns;
papers which offer new theory and conceptualisation, perhaps accompanied by a critique of existing approaches;
narrative and/or quantitative reviews of existing research which lead to new conclusions or insights into a field of research and/or practice;
prescriptive articles advocating changes in research paradigms, methods, or data analytic techniques;
analyses of practice in occupational and organizational psychology, where such analyses are driven by theory and/or sound data.
