摘要
The Journal of Business and Psychology (JBP) is dedicated to publishing high-quality and impactful research with the ultimate goals of advancing our science of work and organizations (Rogelberg 2009). To promote this end, we examined three years of JBP author, manuscript, and reviewer data in the hopes of gleaning insights into potential drivers of manuscript quality and publication success for authorship teams. Although the great majority of research in the organizational sciences is conducted in teams (Acedo et al. 2006; Wuchty et al. 2007), an extensive literature review revealed scant empirical work investigating team factors related to manuscript quality. This opportunity prompted a collaborative effort between the Journal of Business and Psychology and the Journal of Management to conduct a parallel study of author team composition, decisions, activities, and manuscript quality. The goal of this collaboration is to start a multi-faceted conversation around potential avenues for current and future authors to promote scholarly impact in their research. This paper focuses on small research/authorship teams, comprised of two, three, or four members, who have submitted papers to Journal of Business and Psychology. We examine a number of team factors, such as team composition and experiential resources, team communication, and team publication-related development activities prior to submitting the paper for publication. For each of these areas, we assess how they relate to both overall reviewer ratings of quality and editor decisions. Using a reflective inductive approach, we highlight and discuss the most interesting findings. Finally, after discussing our limitations, we offer suggestions for future research directions around the domain of the science of organizational scholarship with the goal of encouraging such submissions to the Journal of Business and Psychology.
