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 encourage la recherche consacrée au comportement organisationnel durable. 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.

Positive Organizational Scholarship: Between Tradition and Innovation
Guest editors: Equipe éditoriale Ripco
This special issue is devoted to positive organizational behavior scholarship (POS). The proposed papers can be situated at the different traditional levels of analysis of the field of organizational behavior: individuals, groups, organizations, as well as in the links within and between these different levels. The submission of theoretical and empirical papers is acceptable. Given the diverse nature of OB research, both quantitative and qualitative work is welcomed. In this respect, the following research questions are of interest to management sciences: What are the boundaries of the « positive » organizational behavior scholarship? What are the existing differences and overlap between OB’s traditional concepts and those who appear more innovative? How should we measure novel concepts su ...

Spaces and Organisation Behaviour: new organisations, new theorisations
Studies on the relationships between spaces and organisational behaviour have recently become richer, considering, for example, materiality, identity, aesthetics, control, reciprocal constitution – up to what is called a turn towards spatiality. However, today, on the one hand, spaces, places and borders are being drastically redefined (e.g. with flex-office, aesthetisation, third places, migrations, multiple reterritorialisations) and on the other hand, the theorisations of organisational space are convening new authors and new concepts (e.g. spacing, throwntogetherness, dispositif, geophilosophy...). In this special issue we propose to follow Beyes & Holt's (2020) invitation to take space seriously and to think spatially: to recognise that all organisations and actors are emplaced or des ...
Special Issue: Vol.XXVIII, Num. CFP_SI_TELETRAVAIL ( 2022)
From telework to hybridity: a new way of thinking about our organizations?
All around the world, the Covid-19 health crisis has forced companies to reorganize work abruptly, quickly and deeply, and telework has become a systematic work modality for many employees in a few days. This increase in telework is likely to continue. Indeed, if telework is a suitable answer to confinement and crisis situations, it also answers other demands of our society, such as the will to reduce real estate costs for companies, the ecological and economical wish to reduce travels, or the expectations of employees in terms of life balance and autonomy. This evolution is underway, but it is not without profoundly changing the way we work, both individually and collectively. This special issue aims at answering the different empirical and theoretical questions that arise around the capa ...
Special Issue: Vol.XXIX, Num. CPF_SI_INCLUSION ( 2022)
Inclusion has become a central issue for organizations in terms of CSR, employer image and management (Kele et al., 2022). In this special issue, we will value all types of theoretical or empirical contributions, quantitative, qualitative or both. Several levels of analysis, micro-, meso- and macro-organizational (Adamson et al, 2021) can be proposed, the goal being to have a global but also fine understanding of the inclusive organization. First of all, contributions around the conditions that foster a sense of inclusion are expected. A second type of contribution is expected in a comparison of the concept of inclusion and organizational behaviors as well as the social performance of organizations. The contributions can also, to some extent, be articulated around the power dynamics at pla ...
