AMD invites submissions to a Special Research Forum on "Organizational Insights in Health Care". Health care contexts represent an incredibly valuable research domain for management scholars interested in a wide range of topics and levels of analysis. As DiBenigno and D'Aunno (2024) recently commented, health care "has it all," with prior work exploring this context from macro-, meso-, and micro-level perspectives to generate valuable insights. Given the inherently interdisciplinary nature of studying organizational phenomena in the health care setting, past work has spanned a range of disciplines, often bridging domains of organizational scholarship, industrial relations, and health care scholarship (e.g., health policy, health services research, medicine, medical sociology, and nursing), yielding key insights for theory and practice.

The goals of this special issue are to publish novel empirical explorations while taking seriously the invitation to balance organizational science and health care – in other words, work that takes seriously both the charge to develop a richly contextualized understanding of a key empirical discovery and develop its implications for a more generalized understanding of work, strategy, organizations, management, and institutions. These goals are particularly well-suited to the nature of AMD as an outlet for "articles motivated by research questions that address compelling and underexplored phenomena … that present clear and compelling discoveries: empirical findings that challenge existing assumptions while opening new theoretical paths or that otherwise promote future, 'down-the-road,' theorizing." (AMD website)

We invite papers that study any organizational phenomena relevant to the experience and functioning of health care (broadly defined) for this special issue. This could include "classic" topics central to organizational scholarship that are particularly visible or impactful, but still poorly understood, in health care (i.e., many of the topics listed in Table 2 of Mayo et al., 2021). It also includes phenomena that are particular to health care settings, but might carry important implications for all organizational environments (e.g., the study of handoffs and transitions, which are central to health care delivery settings, but are increasingly occurring in many organizations that switch to project-based work coordinated across disparate teams or units; Hilligoss & Vogus, 2015; LeBaron et al., 2016). Questions about the suitability of a particular topic should be directed to a member of the editorial team.

Despite the backlash against DEI, research shows that there are a number of benefits of diversity and inclusion for individuals and organizations (see Hebl & King, 2024; Mor Barak, 2015; Shore et al., 2011). Such research has shown positive impacts on organizational performance (e.g., productivity, return on equity and market performance; Richard, 2000), improved decision making, increased creativity, greater customer satisfaction, and increased employees’ perceptions of belonging, inclusion, engagement, and organizational culture (Roberge et al., 2010.) Furthermore, the backlash against DEI programs is alarming at this point in time given a growing diversity in the U.S. population and many other countries (e.g., European Union.). There is an increase in the number of racial and ethnic minorities, older people, individuals with cognitive, mental, and neurodiverse impairments, and individuals who want to be more authentic about their sexual orientation and/or gender identity (see Argueta-Rivera et al., in press). If organizations reject the importance of diversity, they will not avail themselves of the many talents and skills that people of color and many others (e.g., women, older workers, people with disabilities) bring to the workplace. Such restricted employment of people will make it difficult for companies to fill all of their positions, and compete with organizations in the worldwide marketplace.
The primary goals of this special issue of EDI are to foster research (a) on the underlying bases for the backlash against DEI programs, (b) consider the reasons that DEI programs are perceived as ineffective, (c) develop strategies for enhancing the diversity and inclusion of outgroup members. We prefer empirical research articles but will also consider reviews of the existing literature, theoretical pieces, and opinions pieces that are based on empirical evidence.Potential paper topics might include a) evidence citing the extent of the backlash, b) reasons for the backlash, including but not limited to the misperceptions of DEI programs and initiatives, reactions toward increased diversity, perceptions of threat, c) links between anti-DEI and other current beliefs and movement, d) the experiences facing those threatened by backlash, d) how targets of this backlash are responding, coping, and trying to protect themselves, e) how individuals and organizations can be allies to this backlash.

BRQ Business Research Quarterly has opened a call for a Special Issue on “Registered Reports in Entrepreneurship”, edited by Ana Maria Bojica (University of Granada); Julia Olmos-Peñuela (University of Valencia); Paul Steffens (University of Adelaide) and Ted Baker (Rutgers University). Scholars are invited to send original, relevant and sound research plans that approach any aspects of the multifaceted phenomena of entrepreneurship, expanding upon theories currently in use and bringing in new theories to gain new insights into the complexity of entrepreneurial processes, contexts and outcomes. Research plans should be submitted before data collection and thoroughly document the research question, theoretical framework, hypotheses, methods, and planned analysis. The deadline for research plan submissions is September 30th, 2024.
