Organization

The Critical Journal of Organization, Theory and Society

eISSN: 14617323 | ISSN: 13505084 | Current volume: 32 | Current issue: 8 Frequency: 8 Times/Year

Organization brings forth critical perspectives in studies of critical management and organization studies, addressing significant current and emergent theoretical, meta theoretical and substantive developments in the field.

This is a time of unprecedented debate and diversity in organization studies, when intellectual reassessments go alongside a plurality of organizational forms and practices in a globalizing world. The central task for students of organization is to construct those analytical narratives and ethical discourses appropriate to the radically changing structural, theoretical and ideological realities we now face. Organization seeks to address this important task. 

Read Organization’s Manifesto here to understand the different types of critical work we publish.

The Manifesto has in part been inspired by the journal’s 30th anniversary in 2024 and the reflexive discussions that ensued at the Organization 30 Year Workshop in December 2023, which included current and past editors, members of the editorial board, and the journal’s readers. It also incorporates reactions and feedback received at Organization’s First Virtual Conference in December 2024, for as we note in the Manifesto, the journal is committed to non-hegemonic modes of radical pluralism. 

We welcome standard academic papers of up to 11,000 words (excluding references), as well as 'Speaking Out' pieces written to challenge contemporary orthodoxies, ‘Acting Up’ submissions supporting relevance, political engagement, resistance, and activism (both 4,000 words, excluding references) and 'Connexions' essays that tie together contemporary social problems and the study of organizing (6,000 words, excluding references). We will also publish rejoinders to any of our published articles, if the quality of the response justifies it. We also publish book reviews as well as media and artefacts reviews (1,500 words, excluding references). See the 'Submission guidelines' for more details.

AIMS: Organization is a peer-reviewed journal whose principal aim is to be a leading platform for transformative critical scholarship. The journal inculcates a pluralistic episteme in addressing a broad spectrum of issues. In doing so, it promotes an ethos which is explicitly:

  • speaking to the challenges of our time
  • open, reflective, imaginative and critical 
  • theory-driven 
  • international in scope and vision 

 

Organization facilitates exchange amongst scholars from a wide range of disciplinary bases and perspectives. It invites management and organization scholars as well as social scientists from all other disciplines interested in:

  • non-managerialist/non-functionalistic/non-positivist work on organizations and organizing
  • from a broad variety of critical perspectives (e.g., political economic, feminist, Marxist, post-capitalist, de-colonial, intersectional, critical discourse analytical, post-structuralist, neo-materialist, critical realist, post-humanist, critical psychoanalytic, etc.)

 

SCOPE: The journal encompasses a range of key theoretical and methodological debates and developments in critical organizational analysis, broadly conceived, identifying and assessing their impacts on organizational practices worldwide. Alongside more micro-processual analyses, it particularly encourages attention to the links between intellectual developments, changes in organizational forms and practices, and wider social, cultural and institutional transformations. In addition to established themes of continued significance to the development of the field, topics and themes addressed by Organization include:

  • Critical studies on domination, oppression, and power inequalities
  • Critical approaches that expose the language, affect and social practices of capitalism, patriarchy, supremacy, and coloniality
  • Critical studies on solidarity, post/decolonialism, posthumanism
  • Self-reflexive accounts of engaged and radical inclusivity
  • Anti and post-capitalist alternatives and utopias
  • Interrogation of the plural ontologies, lifeworlds and sustainable livelihoods of Indigenous communities
  • Alternatives to the market as a mode of organizing and the imperative of capital accumulation
  • Approaches that reclaim the economy of human and ecological care

 

Please note: If you wish your article to be freely available online immediately upon publication (gold open access, as some funding bodies now require), you can opt for it to be included in the SAGE Choice scheme subject to payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer reviewing procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let SAGE know directly if you are choosing SAGE Choice. Under this scheme, authors of articles in Organization are currently able to publish via SAGE Choice at a special discounted Article Processing Charge of US$750.

    1. What do we publish?

    1.1 Aims & Scope

    Before submitting your manuscript to Organization, please ensure you have read the Aims & Scope.

    1.2 Article Types

    The principal aim of Organization is to foster dialogue and innovation in studies of Organization. The journal addresses a broad spectrum of issues, and a wide range of perspectives, as the foundation for a 'neo-disciplinary' study of organization and organizing. In doing so, it promotes an ethos which is explicitly theory-driven, international in scope and vision, open, reflective, imaginative and critical. We are also concerned to be interdisciplinary, and to facilitate exchange amongst scholars from a wide range of current disciplinary perspectives. Contributions are welcomed in the following formats:

      1. Standard papers: We welcome original papers of up to 10,000 words including references.
      2. Speaking Out papers: Provocative and polemical essays, written to challenge contemporary orthodoxies in our field (4,000 words maximum excluding references).
      3. Acting Up papers: Acting Up sets out to create a platform for radical politics and political activism in Organization. Acting Up papers are short pieces (around 4,000 words excluding references), developing a genre of academic writing that supports relevance, political engagement, resistance, and activism. 
      4. Connexions: Essays that tie together contemporary social problems and the study of organizing, emphasizing connections between theory and practice, between the international political and economic order and organizational analysis, and between action and disinterested observation (6,000 words maximum including references).
      5. We will also publish replies to any of our published articles, in any format, but only if the quality of the response justifies it.
      6. Book Reviews: We publish book review essays (maximum of 1,500 words) of books on topics that fall within the scope of the journal. These are usually commissioned by our book review editors, but do approach us if you wish to review a particular book.

    1.3 Writing your paper

    The SAGE Author Gateway has some general advice and on how to get published, plus links to further resources.

    1.3.1 Make your article discoverable

    When writing up your paper, think about how you can make it discoverable. The title, keywords and abstract are key to ensuring readers find your article through search engines such as Google. For information and guidance on how best to title your article, write your abstract and select your keywords, have a look at this page on the Gateway: How to Help Readers Find Your Article Online.

    2. Editorial policies

    2.1 Peer review policy

    Organization operates a strictly blinded peer review process in which the reviewers’ and author's names are withheld, though reviewers may reveal their names at their own discretion. All manuscripts are reviewed initially by the Editors and only those papers that meet the editorial standards of the journal, and fit within its aims and scope, will be sent to an Associate Editor to consider for outside review. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two reviewers.

    2.2 Authorship

    All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student’s dissertation or thesis.

    2.3 Acknowledgements

    All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.

    Any acknowledgements should appear first at the end of your article prior to your Declaration of Conflicting Interests (if applicable), any notes and your References.

    2.4 Funding

    Organization requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading.  Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements page on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in the event of funding, or state that: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. 

    2.5 Declaration of conflicting interests

    Organization encourages authors to include a declaration of any conflicting interests and recommends you review the good practice guidelines on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway.

    3. Publishing Policies

    3.1 Publication ethics

    SAGE is committed to upholding the integrity of the academic record. We encourage authors to refer to the Committee on Publication Ethics’ International Standards for Authors and view the Publication Ethics page on the SAGE Author Gateway.

    3.1.1 Plagiarism

    Organization and SAGE take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of published articles. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked with duplication-checking software. Where an article, for example, is found to have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article; taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; or taking appropriate legal action.

    3.1.2 Prior publication

    If material has been previously published it is not generally acceptable for publication in a SAGE journal. However, there are certain circumstances where previously published material can be considered for publication. Please refer to the guidance on the SAGE Author Gateway or if in doubt, contact the Editor at the address given below.

    3.2 Contributor's publishing agreement

    Before publication, SAGE requires the author as the rights holder to sign a Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement. SAGE’s Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement is an exclusive licence agreement which means that the author retains copyright in the work but grants SAGE the sole and exclusive right and licence to publish for the full legal term of copyright. Exceptions may exist where an assignment of copyright is required or preferred by a proprietor other than SAGE. In this case copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the society. For more information please visit the SAGE Author Gateway.

    3.3 Open access and author archiving

    Organization offers optional open access publishing via the SAGE Choice programme. For more information please visit the SAGE Choice website.
