Organization & Environment

Organization & Environment publishes rigorous and impactful research on organizing and management for sustainability. In service of this mission, it searches for contributions to academic debates that are grounded in sound social science and that have managerial implications, and beyond (policy, research, social, etc. implications). Manuscripts from business disciplines are welcome, including papers adopting and developing theories in social science fields such as economics, political science, sociology, psychology, history, and law, as well as the interdisciplinary field of sustainability science. We encourage management research addressing multi-level sustainability impacts of organizations within and beyond their organizational boundaries. Published articles typically engage with, and contribute back to, the relevant literature in central management journals. O&E publishes articles focusing on organizing and management for environmental sustainability, as well as those that address the combination of environmental and social and economic sustainability in the context of business and organizing. OE does not publish papers addressing only social sustainability questions.

O&E encourages submissions that explore novel concepts, advance theory, experiment with new methodologies and designs, and empirically validate theoretical insights. The journal has a keen interest in the study of new phenomena that are not completely explainable with the current knowledge, and the consequent launch of novel theoretical and empirical lines of inquiry. From time to time, O&E uses special issues to spotlight a compelling topic area, bringing together a resonant group of high-quality articles that promote focused knowledge.
