CALL FOR PAPERS
Employee Responsibilities and Rights Journal (ERRJ)
Special Issue Theme:
BALANCING ETHICS, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND EMPLOYEE/EMPLOYER RIGHTS
The struggle between balancing legal rights, ethics and social
responsibility is a challenge for employers, particularly in the complex,
post-ENRON business environment. Increasingly organizations see corporate
social responsibility (CSR) as a competitive advantage in considering not
just financial measures of success, but also ethical and socially
responsible measures of success. This special issue is dedicated to
understanding how organizations successfully develop strategies to do what
is legally acceptable, but also go beyond the legal minimums to consider the
ethical and societal implications of their actions. Topics may span from
the micro level, including employee relations and HR practices to the macro
level, including corporate strategy and interorganizational alliances and
relationships. We welcome manuscripts that explore, but are not limited to,
such topics as:
. Triple Bottom Line
. Ethics and emerging technology
. Health and financial obligations to retirees
. Developing ethical employee management systems
. Strategic philanthropy
. Ethics in a team-based culture
. The relationship of ethical work climates to retention and
recruiting
. Organizational commitment to ethics and social responsibility
. Training for ethics and CSR
. Understanding prejudices and biases from an ethical frame
. Moral psychology and cognitive development
. National culture and ethics/CSR expectations
. Trans-national ethical perspectives on the employee/employer
relationship
We encourage and will consider qualitative, quantitative and theory papers,
and evaluate based on: 1) representation of the theme for the special issue,
2) theoretical contribution to the literature, and 3) implications for
management practice. All manuscripts will be double-blind reviewed.
All inquiries and submitted manuscripts should be emailed to the Guest
Editors at
ERRJSpecialIssue@siue.edu by October 1, 2008, with decisions made
by early 2009, for publication later in 2009. Please ensure you have a
cover page with contact information and then a title/abstract page that is
author blind in your submitted manuscript.
