The Journal of Management Studies was established in 1963 as one of the first general management journals. It publishes innovative, novel and high-quality papers that advance theoretical and empirical knowledge in the area of management. It is one of the leading management journals in the world; it is part of the FT45 journal list and has a 2014 ISI Ranking of 8/115 (Business) and 15/185 (Management).
Specific qualities sought from candidates include the following:
- Significant scholarly contributions in any area of management studies. Currently it would be helpful if this included one or more of the following areas of expertise: organization behaviour, organization theory, and/or human resource management; but strong candidates with expertise in any area of management studies will be considered. It is expected that applicants will identify a specific category as a primary area of expertise, but the ability to handle manuscripts across a wide range topics and domains is important.
- Extensive experience as a reviewer for management journals
- Demonstrated administrative skills, capacity to handle a demanding workload and to meet deadlines.
- Must also be able to work constructively with authors, reviewers and the editorial team.
