Emerald, the world's largest publisher of English-language scholarly
journals in business and management, is inviting applications for the
post of Editor of the Journal of Managerial Psychology
(http://www.emeraldinsight.com/jmp.htm). This is an excellent
opportunity for an ambitious and focused individual with solid editorial
experience to edit a leading journal in Emerald's Human Resource
Management portfolio. The Journal is currently edited by James Werbel,

* About the Journal of Managerial Psychology
The objective of the Journal of Managerial Psychology is to provide
those involved in the study and practice of psychology as applied to
managing and organizing with the latest research and knowledge about the
development of people in organizations. The Journal promotes a dialogue
between theory and practice, and disseminates high quality quantitative
and qualitative research to academics and practitioners in management,
psychology and allied fields.
The Journal of Managerial Psychology positions itself at the leading
edge of developments in psychological knowledge as applied to managing
and organizing. It encourages novel discourse and the application of
theory, aiming to provide a bridge to practice based on solid
foundations of credible research. While practicing the applied
scholarship of psychology, the Journal welcomes input from the aligned
disciplines such as sociology, anthropology and the health sciences
which help highlight psychologically-related issues applied to
management.
Now in its 22nd volume, the Journal of Managerial Psychology is a
well-established and well-used scholarly publication. In 2006, more
than 210,000 full text articles from the Journal were downloaded by
researchers, students and management practitioners around the world.
The Journal sponsors the annual Outstanding Publication in
Organizational Behavior prize in the OB Division of the Academy of
Management and is currently under evaluation by Thomson Scientific/ISI
for inclusion in the Social Sciences Citation Index.
