Journal of Managerial Psychology

Aims & Scope

The journal concerns itself with application of theory and practice of managerial psychology, which as a field focuses on the behaviours, theories, practice, methods, and tools used to solve workplace problems and increase the efficacy of people at work.

Managerial psychology is a field that applies psychological principles and theory to executive and managerial roles, to support, improve, and advance the effectiveness of those in the roles towards achieving a healthy, meaningful, and productive organization.

JMP strongly encourages empirical articles based on theory and a solid literature foundation that are interesting, novel, impactful, and well executed.

The journal has no methodological preference; papers that fall along the qualitative to quantitative to mixed-method approach are welcome and will be given full consideration.

Book reviews are not appropriate for the journal.

Consideration will be given for full literature reviews that support and justify a series of propositions and advancement of theory in managerial psychology.

Thus, conceptual papers grounded in a solid literature foundation, which provides for theoretical development and advancement in the field, are welcome.

Case studies that describe actual interventions or experiences within organizations that are grounded in rigorous scientific methods, such as quasi-experimentation, and that can advance the field are welcome.
