RIPCO is an international peer-reviewed academic journal publishing original research in the field of organizational behavior, in French and in English translation.
RIPCO publishes scientific articles involving management science and the humanities, in general (psychology, social psychology, psychosociology, sociology, ethology, economics, philosophy, etc.) provided that they shed new light on organizational behavior. It does not exclude neither any field within management sciences, nor any topics associated with management processes, be it on strategy, management control, human resources management, entrepreneurship, marketing, information system, quality management, or logistics.
All analyses are welcome: be it a traditional narrative, systematic, meta-analytical or scientometrical literary review, it has to summarize scientific knowledge available on one subject; conceptual analyses proposing new theoretical frameworks; empirical analyses through a survey, or case studies (studying one individual, a team, or one or several organizations.) This, in order to test the relationships between many an organizational phenomenon, and eventually experimental or quasi-experimental studies, from which the researcher intently deals with one phenomena to draw conclusions on its consequences (artificial situation), or experimental studies in which the treatment assigned is triggered by natural causes (actual situation).
RIPCO welcomes debate and encourages controversy in the form of non-research papers on the basis that such contributions are also necessary to advance knowledge. RIPCO promotes research on sustainable organizational behavior. The journal also publishes reviews of important books or articles on organizational behavior.
RIPCO is a journal published by Editions ESKA, created in 1994, and is the first French-language journal in the field of psychosociology to be published in French since 1994, then entirely dedicated to organizational behavior since 2005. |
