About this journal

Aims and scope

Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal focuses on human performance at work, not only task performance but also other dimensions of work performance, such as contextual performance and counterproductive work behaviors. The focus on human performance at work can be in the context of investigating employee selection, human resources planning, leadership, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) interventions, performance management, training, technological changes, or any other organizational activity with implications for employee performance.

Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, organizational behavior, and human resource management. Researchers are encouraged to submit manuscripts representing the spectrum of purely theoretical research to applied research. Manuscripts will be evaluated based on their contribution to our understanding of human performance at work.

Peer Review Policy: All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via Submission Portal.
