Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Values are the fundamental beliefs of a person or organization, and these guiding principles orientate behavior and allow people interpret what is right and wrong. Values also help organizations to determine if they are on the correct pathway and to fulfill their goals by creating a solid guide. As the organizational paradigm is constantly evolving, new values emerge, highlighting the relevance of integrity, accountability, commitment to customers, trust, and social responsibility. The focus of this Special Issue is devoted to understanding the ways of bringing new organizational values to life, how organizations communicate and promote values change, how they demonstrate their core values to the whole society, and the paths by which these new sets of organizational values could affect workers’ and citizens’ mental health. Evidence is also needed on possible conflicting workplace values, and their relationship with personal wellbeing at work and in non-work environments.
Moreover, as masculinity and/or femininity are considered as key motivators for specific beliefs and behaviors, papers dealing with gender issues on organizational values implementation and mental health are also welcome.
New research papers, reviews, case reports, and conference papers are welcome to this Issue. Other manuscript types accepted include empirical research, methodological papers, position papers, brief reports, and commentaries.
We will accept manuscripts from different disciplines, including psychology, organizational theory, sociology, epidemiology, occupational health and safety studies, and social sciences.
