Aims and Scope

The editors welcome articles that contribute to thinking, discussion and debate on a wide range of matters relevant to the study and practice of organisational psychology encompassing the disciplines of: industrial and organisational (I/O) psychology; work psychology; occupational psychology; personnel psychology; human resource management and development; ergonomics, and vocational psychology; managerial psychology including coaching; and consumer psychology. Articles may explore issues such as the complex relationships occurring in workplaces in order to enhance organisational effectiveness, productivity and individual wellbeing, or the application of psychological principles and methods to understand and influence work behaviour, attitudes, and organisational structures.

All articles submitted to the journal will be subject to blind peer review by two referees overseen by the Managing Editor. Articles should be submitted in APA style (see below) and all research conducted will be required to conform to ethical standards of the Australian Psychological Society.

 

The journal welcomes the following types of manuscript submissions:

  • Articles reporting the conduct and findings of original research on, or relevant to Organisational Psychology usually conducted by one or more of the authors of the article. A range of research inquiry is invited from quantitative (survey, experimental, meta-analytic) to qualitative (ethnographic, discourse analytic, phenomenological, grounded theory, textual analysis) approaches. It is expected that authors will clearly describe their research practices, and locate them within an articulated empirical research tradition.
  • Articles addressing theoretical, conceptual or ideological issues in Organisational Psychology.
  • Articles focussing on specific client groups, or general schemas of the discipline.
  • Reviews of previous research in a particular area relevant to the practice of Organisational Psychology.
  • Book reviews aimed at keeping practitioners up-to-date with developments in their field.

To be reviewed for possible publication in this journal all authors must follow the style and digotal submission instructions below and submit their manuscript online using the "Submit an Article" link in the menu at the top left of this page.

All contributions and general correspondence regarding editorial matters should be addressed to the Managing Editor. All articles are refereed. Papers submitted to the journal must not previously have been published nor submitted for publication to any other journal and must represent original work.

For matters of style not covered in these two publications the Style manual for authors, editors and printers (6th ed.) should be consulted.

  3. Use single quotation marks to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or which has been coined. Use quotation marks the first time the word or phrase is used; do not use them again. Do not use quotation marks to introduce a technical or key term. Instead, italicise the term.

  4. Do not use any footnotes. Endnotes should be kept to a minimum and listed at the end of the text under the centred heading "Endnotes". Acknowledgments should be placed at the end of the article with a separate heading.

  5. Tables should be at the end of the manuscript, not in the main text. Their approximate positions in the text should be indicated by the words, “Insert Table X here”. Horizontal and vertical lines should be used sparingly.

  6. Photographs, graphs and figures should be at the end of the manuscript, not in the main text, and include placement instructions in the Word document, such as "Insert Fig x here".

  7. A list of figure captions should follow the tables in the manuscript.

    The theory was first propounded in 1970 (Larsen, 1971).

  6. FIGURES, GRAPHS, ILLUSTRATIONS, PHOTOGRAPHS, SPECIAL CHARACTERS

    To ensure optimum quality, please follow the guidelines below when submitting artwork.


    Figures, graphs, illustrations and photogrpahs should be prepared to the correct size and each one supplied as an individual file, separate to the Title Page, Article, and PDF Proof documents. Include placement instructions in the Word document, such as "[Insert fig 1 here]".

    Figures created in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint need to be saved as PDFs.

    Figures created in a drawing program such as Adobe llustrator, CorelDRAW, Freehand, Microsoft Publisher or similar should be saved as EPS (encapsulated postscript) files.

    Figures created in Photoshop or with other photographic software should be saved with a minimum resolution of 600 dpi and in TIF format. Minimum resolution for scanned graphics is 300dpi for halftone work (e.g., photographs) and 600 dpi for line art, and these should also be in TIF format. All figures and graphs should should be in black and white line art (artwork that has only text and lines, no shades of grey or blocks of colour).

    Prior to sending artwork, the separate files of figures, graphs, illustrations, and so on, should be printed by the author to test that the fonts have been embedded correctly and there is no distortion in the artwork (e.g., lines and fonts reproduce cleanly with no jagged lines or fuzzy edges), as any such faults cannot be corrected by the publisher
