This note is a "call for papers," inviting you to submit a manuscript for a special issue of the Journal of Business Ethics on Positive Organizational Ethics. This issue targets JOBE's view that ethics encompasses all human action aimed at securing a good life. Toward this end, more research must be directed toward the best of human functioning, especially within the context of today's ethically challenged business environment and protracted economic downturn. For additional details, please see the attached file.
To be considered for this special issue, full papers must be submitted by December 1, 2011 (you have more than a year to prepare). Manuscripts should be submitted to Leslie E. Sekerka at lesekerk@gmail.com.
Please send the paper in an MS Word or PDF document, with a cover page (including the title and abstract), followed by the body of the paper, references, and any tables and/or appendices (all in one document). The title and abstract (150 words) should be followed by the complete manuscript, without any author-identifying information. Papers should be no more than 9,000 words (including references). All submissions must be in APA format (Times Roman Font, 12 point, double spaced). Please include a separate file with the cover sheet, which states the title of your work and the name(s) of the author(s) with their complete contact information (including affiliation, title, email, telephone, fax, and postal address).
Please direct any questions to the special issue Guest Editors noted below. Feel free to forward this note to others.
We thank you for your shared interest in working to create new knowledge in the area of Positive Organizational Ethics.
