    Call for papers Management Revue

    University of Giessen, Germany

    Special Issue

    „Enlarging the focus on the role of competencies, abilities, and personality
    in management research“

    Past research on the role of competencies, abilities, and personality in
    management research (e.g., predictive value of personality on job related
    issues, HRM practices handling individual abilities/competencies;
    organizational practices in different contextual situations) has generated
    considerable knowledge. However, with an increase in globalization leading
    to higher complexity of organizations as well as to altered demands on
    employees, there is a necessity to expand prior knowledge on the role of
    competencies, abilities, and personality across various contextual features
    (e.g., organizations, industries, markets, cultures). In addition,
    disciplines may differ with regard to theoretical assumptions, approaches,
    and methodologies.

    We invite theoretical and/or empirical submissions to the special issue
    focusing on:

    - Overview/criticism of past research in the areas of competencies,
    abilities, and personality

    - Areas concerning the role of competencies, abilities, and personality not
    yet (sufficiently)
    investigated

    - Cross-cultural issues around the role of competencies, abilities, and
    personality

    - Integrations of multi-disciplinary views on competencies, abilities, and
    personality

    - The contextualization of competencies, abilities, and personality

    - The use of methodological approaches from a variety of high standard
    approaches (Structural
    equation modeling, meta-analyses, panel-studies, qualitative studies)

    All contributions will be subject to a double-blind review procedure.
    Inappropriate submissions may be returned without formal review. Manuscripts
    should by prepared in accordance with the format guidelines
    http://www.management-revue.org/.

    Timelines and Submission procedure 15 May 2009 - Abstracts 31 July 2009 –
    Full Paper To be sent electronically to:
    Christian Schwens (Christian.schwens@wirtschaft.uni-giessen.de )
