Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes (OBHDP) invites submissions-starting now-to a special issue on "Politics, ideology, and partisanship in the workplace," edited by John R. Busenbark, James N. Druckman, Aparna Joshi, Aaron C. Kay, and Maryam Kouchaki. As we detail in the article linked below, we encourage manuscripts from a variety of traditions, including strategic management, sociology, political science, economics, psychology, organizational behavior, and many others. Given that we are soliciting manuscripts from a wide range of research paradigms, the structure of those manuscripts does not need to precisely conform to what a traditional OBHDP paper "looks like." (Articles will still be held to the journal's typical standard of contribution and rigor.) Authors are welcome to recommend any of the guest editors for their manuscript, as well as reviewers from their own domains who have expertise in the area. This is a "virtual special issue," such that articles will be accepted on a rolling basis and will be published across several regular issues of OBHDP. Accordingly, articles will progress through the review process without the typical delays associated with special issues. Please submit your manuscripts on the OBHDP submission platform and then select that your paper is designated for this special issue.
This call for submissions is preceded by a detailed, multi-disciplinary perspective on the state of the literature, wherein the authors take stock of the emerging research on politics, ideology, and partisanship in organizational life. The first article in this issue-which is also linked below-offers an open-access dataset based on 107 million donation records across 4,133 publicly traded firms in the S&P 1500 between 1992 and 2022. The dataset includes various political ideology scores for employees, top management teams, CEOs, boards, and industries.
