Special Section on Innovations in the Study of the Work-Family Interface
Guest editor: Jeffrey H. Greenhaus (Drexel University, USA)
The Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology (JOOP) invites submissions for a special section on innovations in the study of the work-family interface. It is anticipated that the special section will appear in the June 2008 issue of JOOP.
Research on the work-family interface has grown substantially over the past 25 years, producing considerable insight into the interdependencies between work and family lives. Nevertheless, recent reviews have criticized the literature for its failure to develop and test inclusive theories of the work-family interface, its focus on the negative effects of multiple role participation, its reliance on cross-sectional designs with largely self-report data, its relative neglect of the social system in which individuals live and the strategies that individuals and families use to manage work and family roles, and its underrepresentation of significant segments of the population.
The special section of JOOP seeks conceptual and empirical manuscripts that address these and other limitations of the work-family literature. We are particularly interested in scholarship that examines novel work-family constructs and theoretical perspectives, uses innovative methodologies, and/or studies important but underrepresented segments of the population. Our aim is to publish a set of articles that will advance theory regarding the work-family interface.
Submission deadline: April 30, 2007
Method of submission: Manuscripts, which should be clearly labeled as submissions intended for this Special Section, must be submitted through JOOP's online Editorial Manager system in accordance with regular JOOP guidelines. All submissions will be blind reviewed, using the normal JOOP review criteria while also taking into account the innovative nature of the scholarship and its capacity to stimulate and guide work-family research in new and significant directions. More information about JOOP and the submission process can be found at http://www.bps.org.uk/publications/journals/joop/
