Mel Fugate and Maria Vakola would like to invite you to contribute a
manuscript for a special issue of the Journal of Change Management. The
focus of this special issue is on the effects of employees’ reactions on higher
level outcomes. While existing research on employees’ reactions is indeed
valuable, it typically is quite narrowly focused on the implications for
individual employees. We therefore strive to understand what implications
employee reactions have beyond the individual employees, such as the
implications for teams, departments, and larger organizations. The goal of this
special issue is to advance our understanding of such issues and appeal to both
conventional and broader audiences of change researchers. To this end, we
invite theoretical and empirical papers from either quantitative or qualitative
traditions. Among the questions we hope to answer:
1.
What are the costs and benefits of change
recipients’ reactions to teams, departments, and larger organizations?
2.
How do employees’ reactions affect unit-
or higher-level change outcomes (e.g., productivity and efficiency)?
3.
How do managers’ react to organizational
change? And what effects to their reactions have on employees (subordinates)
and the larger organization?
Submission Process
The deadline for invited manuscripts is September 15, 2012. In
accordance with the journal’s standards, the approximate length of the
manuscripts would be between 6,000 to 8,500 words. Papers should be
submitted as an email attachment to both guest editors (please see below for
email addresses) with the subject heading ‘JCM Special Issue – Effects of
Employees’ Reactions’. Submissions should follow the general guidelines of the Journal
of Change Management (http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/rjcm). Refereeing and
the selection of papers will be conducted according to the journal’s normal
procedures (double-blind review). Submitted papers should not have been
previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication
elsewhere. The expected date of
publication of the special issue is 2013.
For further information on the special issue or any
suggestions or comments that might benefit this special issue, please contact
the guest editors.
