Scope

The Journal of Applied Psychology® emphasizes the publication of original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to fields of applied psychology (other than clinical and applied experimental or human factors, which are more appropriate for other APA journals). The journal primarily considers empirical and theoretical investigations that enhance understanding of cognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioral psychological phenomena in work and organizational settings, broadly defined. Those psychological phenomena can be, At one or multiple levels—individuals, groups, organizations, or cultures; In work settings such as business, education, training, health, service, government, or military institutions; and In the public or private sector, for-profit or nonprofit organizations. The journal publishes several types of articles, including: Rigorously conducted empirical investigations that extend conceptual understanding (original investigations or meta-analyses); Theory development articles as well as integrative conceptual reviews that synthesize literature and create new theory of psychological phenomena that will stimulate novel research; Rigorously conducted qualitative research on phenomena that are difficult to capture with quantitative methods, or on phenomena that warrant inductive theory building. The journal accepts work that is conducted in the field or in the laboratory, where the data (quantitative or qualitative) are analyzed with elegant or simple statistics, so long as the data or theoretical synthesis advances understanding of psychological phenomena and human behavior that have direct or indirect practical implications. A nonexhaustive sampling of topics appropriate for the Journal of Applied Psychology includes: Individual differences in abilities, personality, and other characteristics; Testing and personnel selection; Performance measurement and management; Training, learning, and skill acquisition; Work motivation; Job attitudes, affect, and emotions; Leadership; Team development, processes, and effectiveness; Career development; Work–family interface; Work stress, health, and well-being; Positive and negative work behaviors; Diversity and cross-cultural differences in work behavior and attitudes; Technology and work systems; Expertise and knowledge management; Creativity, innovation, and adaptation; Organizational culture and climate; and Organizational design, change, and interventions. The journal also encourages studies of human behavior in novel situations, and integration of basic psychological principles and theories with applied work and organizational phenomena. Specific topics of interest, however, change as organizations evolve and societal views of work change.
