-------------------------------------------  Call for Papers Research in the Sociology of Work, 2014 Volume Adolescent Experiences and Adult Work Outcomes: Connections and Causes  Editors: Henrich R. Greve and Marc-David L. Seidel  Do events and experiences during adolescence influence the work outcomes of  individuals when they reach adulthood? This simple question has a potentially  wide range of theoretical and practical implications, and we invite manuscripts  to the 2014 Research in Sociology of Work volume that provide evidence and  interpretation on this topic. Adolescent experiences can be linked with path  dependence in occupational choice and buildup of social and human capital, and  are thus important "origin explanations" for theories that address these  issues. They may have further links forward to micro outcomes such as  segregation or cliques within organizations as well as macro outcomes such as  inequality. Because a goal of the volume is to encourage new and exploratory  research, we are open to a variety of adolescent experiences as potential  explanations of work outcomes. We invite manuscripts that address issues  relating early experiences in adolescence with later life work outcomes broadly  defined, such as work in any type of organization (paid or non-paid),  entrepreneurial activity, network structure, equity and discrimination  outcomes, labor market, the organization of work, and career paths.  This volume is an opportunity to assemble evidence of the effects of adolescent  experiences on adult work experiences in one place and highlight the  opportunities for research on this topic. We welcome contributions from all  fields including sociology, management, organizational behavior,  entrepreneurship, life course and family studies that analyze these substantive  topics by highlighting the connection between early life experiences and later  life work outcomes in any geographic region. We have a preference for work that  extends and tests theory, but we are also interested in work that provides new  observations highlighting empirical puzzles for future theoretical work. The  length of the submission should be commensurate with the contribution, and  rigor in empirical approach is important. We will call on external reviewers  when necessary, and will use a double blind procedure. Submission to the volume  implies agreement to serve as a reviewer. We seek to provide quick feedback on  the manuscript fit to the volume, and no more than one revision until a final  decision.  Submission deadline: March 31, 2013  Submission format: A single file including all tables and figures; Microsoft  Word format.  Please direct questions and submissions to: Henrich R. Greve  (henrich.greve@insead.edu) and Marc-David L. Seidel (seidel@mail.ubc.ca).
