Call for papers: Reconceiving Business Corporations in Times of Political Contestation
Conference, 22-24 May 2025, Utrecht, The Netherlands. Organizers: Rutger Claassen & Ugur Aytac Utrecht University Submission Deadline: 10 January 2025
Over the last decade, societal scrutiny about the role and power of businesses has increased. From politicians to protest movements, from investors to influencers, many actors have geared their demands to reform corporate capitalism and render its power more accountable to the public, whether it be for the sake of the climate transition, the safe development of artificial intelligence, world-wide availability of vaccines, or sustainable finance. These demands also raise the question of how the institutional agency of business corporations should be revised, and what goals they should be made to pursue. In response to such pressures, the US Business Roundtable in 2019 famously dropped shareholder value maximization from its ‘corporate purpose’ statement and moved to stakeholder capitalism. The EU legislated to enforce corporate reporting on sustainability issues and responsibility for due diligence in the supply chains. But in recent years, these movements towards greater social embedding of business also met with resistance. US republicans pushed back against investors following ESG criteria (‘woke capitalism’), Exxon Mobile sued its activist shareholders. All in all, the role of business is politicized, with uncertain outcomes.
In academia, these developments have led to new debates about corporations’ role in politics, corporate personhood and purpose, corporate governance and different corporate forms transforming decision-making structures such as social enterprises, coops and steward-owned companies. How to interpret the current moment? Have corporations become too powerful? How are they run, and for whom should they be run? What avenues for reform are open? To address these issues, an interdisciplinary conversation is needed. This conference brings together scholars working in a diversity of disciplines, such as law, philosophy, economics, political science, management and organization studies, and business ethics. We welcome contributions about a wide range of topics within the conference theme.
Special issue of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion on "The Backlash against DEI Programs"
Current deadline: Feb 1, 2025
There has been a growing backlash against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in work organizations, U.S. state governments, healthcare, and educational institutions (see Abrica & Oliver Andrew, 2024; Blackstock et al., 2024; Roberson et al., 2024.) For example, a number of work organizations, such as Meta, Zoom, Snap, Tesla, DoorDash, Lyft, Home Depot, and Wayfair, have eliminated DEI programs and DEI positions (Elias, 2023.) Furthermore, 26 states have currently proposed or already passed anti-DEI legislation designed to restrict or eliminated DEI initiatives, and 30 states have introduced bills that would restrict or eradicate DEI programs in higher education (Adams & Chiwaya, 2024.) Although all of these bills have not yet become law, some states (e.g., Florida, Texas, Utah) have passed bills that have abolished DEI programs on college campuses. Further, the backlash seems to have reached wide-ranging proportions. For instance, when a large cargo ship collided with and caused the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in March of 2024, Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman argued that DEI was responsible (Bunn, 2024.) Indeed, DEI has become a scapegoat for many problems facing our society.
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.

The CGIR Doctoral Consortium and Paper Development Workshop (PDW) will be held on Friday November 8th, 2024 as part of the preconference program of the 10th ICGS annual conference, that will be held at Arizona State University, November 9th-10th, 2024. The event, sponsored by Wiley, is organized in close collaboration between ICGS and CGIR, and involves current and former CGIR Editors. Participating Editors include Michael Abebe (Texas), Ruth Aguilera (Northeastern), Lili Dai (UNSW), Omrane Guedhami (South Carolina), Niels Hermes (Groningen), Tanusree Jain (Copenhagen), Aneel Keswani (City), Elko Klijn (Old Dominion), Krista Lewellyn (Florida), Maria Marchica (Manchester) Andrea Melis (Cagliari), David Oesch (Zurich), Amedeo Pugliese (Padua), Bo Qin (Melbourne), Trond Randøy (Copenhagen), Peter Roosenboom (Erasmus), Eduardo Schiehll (Montreal), Konstantinos Stathopoulos (Manchester), Till Talaulicar (Erfurt), Alessandro Zattoni (LUISS), Liandong Zhang (Singapore) and Yuping Zhao (Houston), among others.
Objective
ICGS and CGIR’s mission is to improve the quality and relevance of international corporate governance (CG) research. The purpose of the consortium and PDW is to provide junior scholars with developmental feedback on their research papers in the field of CG. We are soliciting doctoral students and junior faculty members – from any discipline (e.g., accounting, finance, organization, strategy) and any country – to submit an original paper on CG.
Program
The consortium and PDW are divided into two parts. For the first part, CGIR Editors will meet individually with two authors at a mutually agreed time virtually or in person and provide feedback on how to improve their papers, so to increase the probability of acceptance by CGIR or other CG journals. For the second part, the CGIR Editors-in-Chief and Senior Editors will present the journal’s mission and scope, the key statistics on submissions and acceptance rate, and the editorial review process. The second part will be held in person at Arizona State University. This will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the editorial team. At the end of the PDW, there will be the possibility to have informal conversations with the Editors-in-Chief, Editors and Editorial Board Members of CGIR so to learn the nuances of successful publication strategies.
Application process
Each applicant may submit only one paper, which may or may not also be scheduled to be presented later in the conference. Submitted papers must be less than 10,000 words in length, include an abstract, up to five keywords, and follow the CGIR author guidelines. Papers should be submitted via ConfTool at https://www.conftool.net/icgs2024/ using Track G. Please indicate during your submission whether you plan on participating virtually or in person. The deadline for submissions is September 1st, 2024. Submitters will be notified whether they can participate in the event by September 10th, 2024 and are asked to confirm their participation by September 30th, 2024.

Solicitation of Proposal for JAP Virtual Research Proposal Development Workshop
DEADLINE TO APPLY: March 4, 2024
Journal of Applied Psychology Research Proposal Development Workshop Call for Participants
The Journal of Applied Psychology is hosting a workshop designed to support junior researchers from a variety of backgrounds who have relatively less experience and support with developing a research idea and corresponding methodology. This workshop has three goals. It seeks to (a) provide feedback on a research proposal developed by junior scholars; (b) provide opportunities for junior scholars to develop adequate and high-quality methodology in order to test well-crafted research ideas; and (c) share insights and knowledge with regards to research proposals of others. The workshop will be facilitated by current and former Associate Editors and winners of JAP’s “Best Editorial Board Reviewer” award. Each participant will be assigned to a small group led by one team leader. Please note that it is unlikely that the assigned team leader or other participants in the session will be an expert in your specific research. In this small group, participants will receive written feedback on their research proposal from the team leader and verbal feedback from other session participants.
The sessions will be held virtually between May 30-August 30, 2024. Exact day and timing will be determined based on participant time zones and availability. This interactive workshop will last 2 hours.
Please note that in order to keep the size of the discussion group small, space for this workshop is limited. The application process is competitive, and applications will be evaluated based on the participant’s experiences with publishing research in top-tier outlets, participant’s current mentoring team, and the fit of topic areas between the manuscripts and the expertise of the participating team leaders. We will be giving priority placement to qualified applicants from non-WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) countries. The topic of your research proposal needs to be related to cognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioral psychological phenomena in work and organizational settings, broadly defined. Finally, participating in the workshop does not guarantee the eventual acceptance of the manuscript by the Journal of Applied Psychology.
To apply for participation in the JAP Research Proposal Development Workshop, please complete this Qualtrics survey ([https://ugeorgia.ca1.
Application deadline for the workshop is March 4, 2024. You will be notified about the workshop acceptance by March 15, 2024.
If you have any questions, please contact Lillian Eby (leby@uga.edu).
Journal of Applied Psychology Call for Editorial Fellowship Nominations for Scholars from Historically Excluded Groups
Application Deadline: March 7, 2024
The editorial leadership team for Journal of Applied Psychology seeks nominations for 5 editorial fellowship positions for early-career scholars (ECSs) from historically excluded groups. Fellows serve one 12-month term beginning June 1, 2024. The position includes an honoraria stipend of $1,000 USD per fellow.
In service of APA’s recent resolutions to address systemic racism in psychology, this fellowship program seeks to elevate leadership opportunities for ECSs from historically excluded groups, particularly Black, Indigenous, and other scholars of color, as well as members from other communities (e.g., LGTBQ+ individuals, individuals with disabilities, individuals from the Global South) which have been historically excluded from leadership opportunities in research and publishing.
Qualifications
Fellowships are open to qualified candidates from historically excluded groups who have completed their Ph.D (or equivalent) and are no more than 10 years postdoctoral. Candidates may hold a position at the rank of associate professor or assistant professor (or equivalent, such as a research scientist). Qualified candidates must have experience conducting peer reviews. Expertise in topics of cultural and ethnic diversity is desirable. We also look for evidence of a broad perspective, good judgment, exceptional communication skills, and strong management skills, as well as a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Responsibilities
The fellows will work closely with the journal’s Editor or one of the Associate Editors to develop their editorial leadership skills. Each fellow will be mentored through the editorial process on approximately 6 manuscripts over the course of the year. This process will include working with an associate editor on screening manuscripts for appropriateness, identifying reviewers, making an editorial decision based on reviews, and shepherding the manuscript through to publication if accepted.
The successful candidate will also be expected to participate in monthly meetings with their mentor to ensure goals are met. Most of these meetings will be video teleconferences, although in-person meetings at scientific conferences are also possible.
Fellows will be credited on the journal masthead and, upon successful completion of the fellowship, will be considered for the journal’s editorial board, if not currently on the editorial board.
How to Apply
Interested and qualified candidates should complete a brief Qualtrics survey (or cut and paste this link your browser: https://ugeorgia.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3eIT0ISWi4VvoTc) which will ask them to upload a letter of interest and their CV in a single Word or PDF file. Applications are due March 7, 2024. Appointments will be made in April 2024 and positions will begin June 1, 2024.

Call for Papers - Special Issue of BRQ Business Research Quarterly
“Registered Reports in Entrepreneurship”
Submission deadline: September 30, 2024
Guest Editors:
Ana Maria Bojica, University of Granada
Julia Olmos-Peñuela, University of Valencia
Paul Steffens, University of Adelaide
Ted Baker, Rutgers University
This special issue focuses on empirical quantitative studies in entrepreneurship using the publication approach of “registered reports”. Registration of research plans is an increasingly popular practice in other research fields that provides several benefits to both individual researchers and the research community, such as early feedback towards improving study design and the reduction of publication biases in favor of statistically significant results. Altogether, registered reports encourage practices oriented to a more transparent, reproducible, and replicable research.
We invite scholars 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 that can help gaining new insights into the complexity of entrepreneurial processes, contexts and outcomes. Research plans should be submitted before data collection and should thoroughly document the research question, theoretical framework, hypotheses, methods, and planned analysis. The deadline for research plan submissions is September 30th, 2024.
BRQ Business Research Quarterly is a quarterly journal looking to publish a small set of high-quality articles in each issue that address central topics in the field. For information about the special issue and the journal please see this link: https://journals.sagepub.com/page/brq/call-for-papers

Research Handbook on Work-Life Balance and Employee Health
Edited by
Associate Professor Connie Zheng, Centre for Workplace Excellence,
UniSA Business, University of South Australia, Adelaide
Email: connie.zheng@unisa.edu.au
Purpose
Work-life balance (aka most of time “work-life conflict”, or work-family conflict, acronyms as WLB/WLC or WFB/WFC subsequently) have a critical effect on employee health. Yet research on WLB/WLC and employee health tend to be separate into two domains that are examined with various contributors in different fields (e.g., management, sociology, health sciences, psychology, environmental health, and political sciences). It’s nonetheless understood that occupational (employee) health is influenced by and intertwined with work-life intricacies. Often these aspects of research focused on how WLC leads to burnout, mental health, sleep deprivation, and other health-related consequences. The accumulative work has been swelling especially in recent years when the boundary of work and life has become even more blurring because of lengthy COVID-19 lockdown and increasing adoption and use of flexible work arrangement by employers and employees alike post-COVID time.
This research handbook will include selective articles that are illustrative of the complex nature of this research area and to provide a bird view of overarching issues to address work-life balance and employee health for those unfamiliar with this important intersective topics, whilst also highlighting possible research agenda and emerging ideas for future endeavour in the field.
Outline
Commissioned by Edward Elgar Publishing, the proposed Research Handbook on Work-life Balance and Employee Health is organized with 6 themes as outlined below. I am soliciting 2-3 chapters to be included in each theme. Each chapter should be written with no more than 10,000 words long (incl. all tables, figures and references). Please forward your relevant manuscript (s) that would fit one or more of the following themes for consideration to be included in this research handbook.
- Advancing research methods for investigating work-life balance and employee health
- Cultural influences on work-life balance and employee health
- Country context on work-life balance and employee health
- Institutional factors contributing to work-life balance and employee health
- Industry differences on work-life balance and employee health
- Best practices on work-life balance and employee health

Background
We are living in a digital age, where data-fuelled and machine-learning algorithms have become widespread and are increasingly permeating organizational life and activity, everywhere from decision making and operational optimization to marketing and service delivery (Burrell & Fourcade, 2021; Leonardi &Treem, 2020). Organizations are increasingly relying on data-mining algorithms to innovate business models, improve supply chain management, enable novel forms of work and organizing, and better surveil and manage remote forms of work (de Vaujany et al., 2021). Lee, Kusbit, Metsky, and
Dabbish (2015) have defined such a trend where algorithms progressively assume more managerial functions in the workplace as ‘algorithmic management.’ According to Duggan et al. (2020, p.119), algorithmic management is “a system of control where self-learning algorithms are given the responsibility for making and executing decisions affecting labour, thereby limiting human involvement and oversight of the labour process.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TOPIC
Entrepreneurship is an important driver of economic activity, change, and well-being.
Globally, there are worldwide ambitions to “promote well-being for all at all ages”
(United Nations, Sustainable Development Goal #3) and to track well-being in assessing
a nation’s level of development alongside economic performance (European
Commission, 2016). Similarly, the interest in mental health and well-being in
entrepreneurship is growing (Stephan, 2018; Wiklund et al., 2019). This includes, among
other issues, understanding entrepreneurship as a career choice for those with mental
health conditions (e.g., Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity (ADHD)), as well as exploring
entrepreneurship’s potential for both great stress and fulfilment, and thus for both mental
illbeing and well-being. The Covid-19 pandemic, the current energy crisis, the rising cost
of living, and armed conflict have further fueled such research interest: Entrepreneurial
action in the face of adversity can help individuals and communities to safeguard their
well-being and build resilience, while the challenges of crises have also highlighted how
precarious entrepreneurs’ mental health and well-being is (Stephan, et al., 2022).
Well-being and ill-being (negative well-being) are anchored in different research
traditions on the origins of health versus disease (Ryan & Deci, 2001; for
entrepreneurship: Stephan, Rauch, & Hatak, 2022). For instance, in examining well-being
at work, organizational behavior focuses on positive wellbeing and its motivational
effects (Judge et al., 2017), whereas distress and health impairments are typical outcomes
studied in occupational health (Ganster & Rosen, 2013), and mental disorders are the
focus of clinical psychology and psychiatry (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
The parallel nature of these bodies of research is unfortunate, leading to siloed knowledge.
We suggest that entrepreneurship has the potential to bridge and fuse these parallel
traditions. Entrepreneurship is considered as relatively “extreme work” because it entails
both richer wellbeing resources and more intense stressors than conventional employment
(Baron, 2010; Rauch, Fink, & Hatak, 2018).
Considering positive and negative well-being simultaneously opens new avenues for
empirical inquiry as well as theory building by providing a more systematic way to
Call for papers (Frontiers in Psychology) : Paradoxes of Diversity and Inclusion: From the Lab to the Social Field
To express your interest to contribute to the Special Issue please send us a 500 words abstract by the 20th of February 2023. The final submission deadline is 20th July 2023. However, due to Frontiers’ fast-track review process means each article is published online as soon as it’s been successfully peer-reviewed and accepted (typically within 90 days).
Dear colleagues,
We, Maria Popa-Roch, Smaranda Boroş, and Claudia Toma, have the pleasure to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Frontiers in Psychology called “Paradoxes of Diversity and Inclusion: From the Lab to the Social Field”.
We are facing successive crises and periods of economic downturn, known to correlate with a rise in intolerance and an escalation of intergroup tensions. In the current socio-economic-political global context, insights on diversity and inclusion at different levels (from school to organization and the larger society) are more needed than ever, to inform evidence-based (policy) interventions. In recent years, a plethora of research has been published on the topic in different fields. What is lagging however, is a cross-disciplinary approach that spans across various levels of analysis.
With this aim in mind, we initiated a dialogue among us, starting from our different backgrounds and foci of research (social psychology, organizational behavior, educational psychology). This dialogue raised more questions than answers, so we decided to open the conversation to get insights and inputs from a variety of researchers in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) coming from different theoretical and research approaches. Hence this call for papers.
We want this to be the most up-to-date and impactful collection of research on this topic. With your knowledge and expertise on diversity, equity and inclusion, the editorial team invites you to submit an article.
Why publish in our Research Topic?
Alongside a top group of authors, your work will be published in Frontiers in Psychology, a leading journal in the field with a Journal Impact Factor of 4.232 and a CiteScore of 4.0.

Call for papers - Native American and Indigenous Persons' Work Issues
Research in Human Resource Management
The U. S. Bureau of the Census (2022) estimates that there are 6.79 million Native Americans in the U. S. which is 2.09% of the entire population. Further, there are about 574 federally recognized Native American tribes in the nation. In addition, the World Bank reports that there are 476 million Indigenous People worldwide, and they make up about 6 percent of the global population. Many of these individuals live in poverty, have a low life expectances, and have difficulty gaining access to jobs (World Bank, 2022). There are several reasons for these problems including: unfair discrimination or prejudice, the fact that reservations are located in remote locations with few employers, many of these individuals have lower levels of education than their counterparts, and there are differences in cultural values that create challenges for them in organizations (e.g., role ambiguity, lack of specific skills and abilities.)
Although there are a large number of Indigenous people around the world, relatively little research has focused on their work issues (Stone et al., 2022). Thus, the primary goal of the present special issue is to spark interest in research on a variety of issues that Native American and Indigenous people experience in the work place. Thus, we hope that authors from around the world will submit their papers for the special issue.
Topics for the special issue should focus on micro-oriented Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, and Industrial and Organizational Psychology (individual and small group level), work issues facing Native Americans and Indigenous persons. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: work values, factors affecting job satisfaction, enhancing well being, differences in cultural values and the impact on HR practices (e.g., recruitment, training, rewards,) leadership, teamwork, mentoring, alternative work arrangements, the unique talents and skills these individuals bring to the workforce, etc.
All final papers are be due November 1, 2023.
If you or someone you know is interested in submitting a paper please email
Diannastone2015@gmail.com and include a couple of sentences on your topic.
We will ask you to submit a short proposal (1-3 pages) by November 1, 2022..
Note that Research in Human Resource Management is a peer reviewed research series
so all papers will be reviewed by two subject matter experts and the editors.
Please send this email to others who conduct research in Indigenous persons' work issues.
Thank you,

Tomorrow's entrepreneurship: New issues, new challenges?
Presentation
The environment of the entrepreneur is currently facing many upheavals due to the health crisis, societal and technological developments, geopolitical risks, climate change ... Entrepreneurship therefore appears more and more as having to think in a complex environment, both constrained and evolving, which calls for changes in the way to live and operate. Moreover, the aspirations of entrepreneurs are more and more marked at the personal and societal levels and lead to rethink the purpose of entrepreneurial activities.
New Book: What Every CEO Should Know About AI
Viktor Dörfler (SIG 12: Research Methods & Research Practice) has just published a book "What Every CEO Should Know About AI", part of the Cambridge Elements in Business Strategy series edited by JC Spender, and published by the Cambridge University Press, it features a foreword by Tom Davenport.
The pdf version of the book can be downloaded free of charge until 18th March here, courtesy of the publisher. If you are interested, claim your free copy and feel free to share with others who may be interested
Abstract
Dr Viktor Dörfler combines his background in developing and implementing AI with scholarly research on knowledge and cultivating talent to address misconceptions about AI. The book explains what AI can and cannot do, carefully delineating facts from beliefs or wishful thinking. Filled with examples, this practical book provokes thinking. The purpose is to help CEOs figure out how to make the best use of AI, suggesting how to extract AI’s greatest value through appropriate task allocation between human experts and AI. The author challenges the attribution of characteristics like understanding, thinking, and creativity to AI, supporting his argument with the ideas of the finest AI philosophers. He also discusses in depth one of the most sensitive AI-related topics: ethics. The readers are encouraged to make up their own minds about AI, and draw their own conclusions rather than accept opinions from people with vested interest or an agenda.
