Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology (JOOP)

Journal Scope

The Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology publishes empirical and conceptual papers which aim to increase understanding of people and organisations at work. Its domain is broad, covering industrial, organisational, vocational and personnel psychology, as well as behavioural and cognitive aspects of industrial relations, ergonomics, human factors and industrial sociology. 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.
