Call for Proposals: JPP 2014 and 2015 Special Issues

The Journal of Personnel Psychology (JPP) is seeking proposals from prospective guest editors for special issues to be published in the 2014 and 2015 volumes. Proposals will be evaluated by the team of associate editors, and the guest editor(s) will be responsible for overseeing the review process and selecting the content of the issue.

Successful proposals must have an overarching theme that fits the mission and scope of JPP. To give a few examples, JPP (formerly Zeitschrift für Personalpsychologie, ZPP) in the past years published special issues on

• Ethical Leadership (2012, guest edited by Jeroen Stouten, Marius van Dijke und David De Cremer)
• Shared Leadership (2010, guest edited by Craig Pierce, Jürgen Wegge, Julia Hoch, and Hans Jeppe Jeppesen).
• Demographic change in work organizations (2009, guest edited by Jürgen Deller and Guido Hertel)
• Knowledge transfer and development of competencies (2008, guest edited by Niclas Schaper and Simone Kauffeld)
• Personality at work (2007, guest edited by Jürgen Deller and Deniz Ones)
• Commitment in organizations (2006, guest edited by Rolf van Dick and Michael Riketta)
• Assessment centers (2005, guest edited by Stefan Höft)

In 2013, JPP will publish a special issue on the Role of Norms in Virtual Work (guest editors: Karin Moser and Carolyn Axtell).

Proposals should include the following information:

• Name(s) and contact details of Guest Editor(s)
• Title of special issue
• Need and rationale for this special issue (max. 300 words)
• Possible topics of inquiry (max. 300 words)
• Time line (including preferred year of publication 2014 or 2015)
