CALL FOR PAPERS
Employee Responsibilities and Rights Journal (ERRJ)
Special Issue Theme:
BALANCING ETHICS, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND EMPLOYEE/EMPLOYER RIGHTS
The struggle between balancing legal rights, ethics and social responsibility
is a challenge for employers, particularly in the complex, post-ENRON business
environment. Increasingly organizations see corporate social responsibility
(CSR) as a competitive advantage in considering not just financial measures of
success, but also ethical and socially responsible measures of success. This
special issue is dedicated to understanding how organizations successfully
develop strategies to do what is legally acceptable, but also go beyond the
legal minimums to consider the ethical and societal implications of their
actions. Topics may span from the micro level, including employee relations
and HR practices to the macro level, including corporate strategy and
interorganizational alliances and relationships. We welcome manuscripts that
explore, but are not limited to, such topics as:
Triple Bottom Line
Ethics and emerging technology
Health and financial obligations to retirees
Developing ethical employee management systems
Strategic philanthropy
Ethics in a team-based culture
The relationship of ethical work climates to retention and recruiting
Organizational commitment to ethics and social responsibility
Training for ethics and CSR
Understanding prejudices and biases from an ethical frame
Moral psychology and cognitive development
National culture and ethics/CSR expectations
Trans-national ethical perspectives on the employee/employer
relationship
We encourage and will consider qualitative, quantitative and theory papers,
and evaluate based on: 1) representation of the theme for the special issue,
2) theoretical contribution to the literature, and 3) implications for
management practice. All manuscripts will be double-blind reviewed.
All inquiries and submitted manuscripts should be emailed to the Guest Editors
at
ERRJSpecialIssue@siue.edu by October 1, 2008, with decisions made by early
2009, for publication later in 2009. Please ensure you have a cover page with
contact information and then a title/abstract page that is author blind in
your submitted manuscript.
Journal Submission Deadline 10/01/08:
