About this journal

Aims and scope

The mission of the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology is to promote and support the development of Work and Organizational Psychology by publishing high-quality scientific articles that improve our understanding of phenomena occurring in work and organizational settings. The journal publishes different types of high-quality empirical articles using quantitative or qualitative methods, meta-analyses and systematic reviews.

The journal has a world-wide authorship, readership and editorial board. Submissions from all around the world are invited.

The journal primarily publishes freely submitted contributions, but will occasionally also publish a themed special issue, although all contributions are submitted to rigorous peer review. Papers and themed special issues are published on a wide range of topics covered by the umbrella of Work, Organizational, Industrial and Occupational Psychology. The European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology in general does not publish research relying solely on cross-sectional, self-report survey methods.

Peer Review Integrity


All research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial Editor screening and refereeing by at least two independent, expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and submissions may be made online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

The Editor and Editorial Board of EJWOP are members of the Editor Ethics initiative.

Best Leadership paper award

The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) Award for the best paper on Leadership is available to authors of the journal. The prize is $1,000 plus travel expenses to the next EAWOP congress to present a talk on the paper. The winners of the award are selected by the EJWOP editorial team, and are announced every two years, at the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology's congress.

See the latest winners' announcement for this award.

"This journal will certainly fulfil the need of informing the practising W&O psychologist, and perhaps begin to translate the more academically oriented articles published elsewhere, which have enormous relevance but which need to be put in the context of organisational life."
- Times Higher Education Supplement
