Dear IM colleagues:
I wanted to let you know that the journal of the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives on Science and Practice (Cindy McCauley, Editor) has accepted a focal article written by myself and Lilach Sagiv, for Volume 5, Issue 3, and that brief commentaries can be submitted to the journal by 2/27 for review and possible publication.
The article, titled "Diversity in Organizations and Cross-Cultural Work Psychology: What If They Were More Connected?," discusses "how the fields of diversity in organizations and cross-cultural work psychology can benefit from greater attention to and integration with each other as well as more clarity regarding the distinctions between them." The abstract is available here: http://www.siop.org/journal/Article_1.aspx . SIOP members can download the article there as well. Others wishing to see the article can contact me and I can make it available to you.
Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives on Science and Practice takes a focal article – peer commentary – response format, and commentaries are peer-reviewed. SIOP members and others are invited to submit commentaries on the article for publication consideration. Commentaries from a broad range of perspectives, including science and practice, and from both within and outside the U.S. are invited.
Commentaries can be submitted for review and possible publication in the journal by February 27, 2012. (Information about the journal and the process for preparing and submitting commentaries is available here: http://www.siop.org/journal/siopjournal.aspx.)
Warm regards,
Bernardo
