Call for Papers
JBAM Special Issue
Challenging Theory with Conceptual Papers
Dear scholars and practitioners,
The Journal of Behavioral and Applied Management (JBAM) is seeking conceptual papers that challenge assumptions and extant theory for a special issue to be published July 2023. Papers should explore new applications of existing theory, especially perspectives other than what consensus in the literature suggests and new ideas that shift, rather than corroborate, theory. Empirical papers that returned non-significant results and were expected to corroborate theory can be reworked into conceptual papers that instead contradict said theory.
This special issue will expand understanding and interpretation of a range of management topics, including, but not limited to, leadership, followership, individual differences, strategy, conflict resolution, and any other topic that fits within JBAM’s broad scope and context. To be considered for publication, manuscripts should clearly identify the phenomenon under study, the importance of the phenomenon, and both theoretical and practical implications of findings to future research and current practitioners.
