Dear colleagues
herewith I would like to pint your attention to a call for submitting
special issue proposals.
best wishes,
Rolf van Dick
Journal of Personnel Psychology (JPP) is seeking proposals from
prospective guest editors for special issues to be published in the
2011 and 2012 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 ZPP)
in the past years published special issues on
? 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 2010 JPP will publish a special issue on Shared Leadership (guest
editors: Craig Pierce, Jürgen Wegge, Julia Hoch, and Hans Jeppe
Jeppesen).
Proposals should include the following information:
? Need and rationale for this special issue (max. 300 words)
? Possible topics of inquiry (max. 300 words)
? Time line (including prefered year of publication 2011 or 2012)
? Qualifications of the editor(s)
? Sample call for papers for the issue (1 page)
All proposals should be e-mailed to the Managing Editor, Johannes
Ullrich (
jpp.editorial.office@gmail.com), no later than October 1, 2010.
