Call for Papers: Virtues in Organizations
A special issue with the Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences will focus on: “Virtues in Organizations Cultivating Creativity, Collaboration, and Collective Well-being.”
Virtues are inherently worthwhile, but the practice of virtue in organizations also can be linked to the vitality and viability of organizations. The focus of this call is to bring together theory and research that demonstrates how virtue as practiced individually, in groups, or collectively in organizations can cultivate an environment in which members flourish and organizations thrive. We are interested in theory and research that addresses the links between virtuous leadership or virtuous member behavior and important variables such as creativity, innovation, collaboration, commitment, satisfaction, and performance. In particular, we welcome studies that demonstrate a virtuous cycle of effects at multiple-levels of analysis and among multiple stakeholders.
All submitted papers must adhere to the formatting guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA format) and should not exceed 40 pages (including references, tables, and figures). Please visit the CJAS website at cjas.mcmaster.ca for further APA guidelines. All papers submitted to CJAS will undergo a “blind” peer review.
Please email submissions before the December 31 deadline to cjas@mcmaster.ca to the attention of the guest editor and indicate in the subject heading that the submission is intended for the special issue on “Virtues in Organizations.”
