Call for Papers: The Role of Demographics in Occupational Stress and Well Being
Research in Occupational Stress and Well Being announces a call for papers for Volume 12 of this book series, to be published in 2014. The series is edited by Pamela L. Perrewé, Jonathon Halbesleben and Christopher C. Rosen.
Interest in organizational demography spans several decades (e.g., Pfeffer, 1983). However, in much of the contemporary research on occupational stress and well being, demographic factors such as gender, age, and race/ethnicity are evident in the background and controlled in statistical analysis. In this volume, we ask whether that should be the case and the extent to which those demographics impact our experience of stress and well-being We are calling upon the field's leading researchers to provide papers that consider how demographics relate to occupational stress and well-being. We are seeking papers that summarize existing knowledge, identify new issues, and provide an agenda for future research. Research that spans disciplines is welcome. Potential topics include:
- · Meta-analyses of demographic variables and their association with stress and well-being
- · Models of how specific demographics (gender, age, race/ethnicity, sexual preference, etc.) are associated with stress and well-being
- · The use of demographic factors as proxies for other processes
- · Methodological issues with demographics
Please submit a 1-2 page proposal by September 1st 2013. To avoid overlap between contributions we will send out a list of contributors and topics in mid-October. The first draft of the manuscripts will be due February 1st 2014. Please send all correspondence to Pamela Perrewé at: pperrewe@cob.fsu.edu
About the Book Series
This peer-reviewed series promotes theory and research in the expanding area of occupational stress, health and well being, showcasing the work of top researcher scholars and theorists. Questions of occupational stress and well being are both interdisciplinary and researched in a wide range of disciplines, meaning it is increasingly difficult to keep up-to-date with the most forward-thinking research and ideas. Each volume of this series focuses on a particular topic, allowing authors and readers in that area question to critically explore the cutting edge work from their discipline.
