JOM Workflow Router (jmgmt-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which jmgmt- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the Journal of Management (JOM) — the Southern Management Association's general-management flagship, published by SAGE. JOM spans organizational behavior, human resource management, strategic management, entrepreneurship, and research methods (plus related industrial/organizational psychology). It rewards a clear theoretical contribution paired with rigorous method, and — uniquely among the field's top journals — it runs a celebrated review-article and meta-analysis tradition: invited and unsolicited Review Issues appear biannually (January and July).

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JOM. Operational tells that you are at JOM and not a sibling or a generic top journal: a hard 50-page limit that includes everything (text, notes, references, tables, figures); a 15-word title and 250-word abstract cap entered in the portal; masked (double-blind) review enforced by an anonymized data transparency table that discloses overlap with the authors' other papers; APA (7th) style; and a real appetite for systematic reviews / meta-analyses as standalone contributions. Editor-in-Chief: Cynthia E. Devers (Virginia Tech) (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the SAGE JOM author-instructions page.

When to trigger

The user asks "what should I do next?" on a JOM manuscript
A draft needs its current bottleneck diagnosed
Work is ping-ponging between theory, design, analysis, framing, and the response letter
A JOM decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
The team is deciding between an empirical paper and a review/meta-analysis route

Routing table

Current symptom	Next skill
Scope/fit uncertain, or empirical-vs-review path undecided	`jmgmt-topic-selection`
Hypotheses are bald predictions; mechanism/boundaries thin	`jmgmt-theory-development`
Contribution vs. adjacent journals (AMJ/SMJ/JMS) is fuzzy	`jmgmt-literature-positioning`
Design, construct validity, CMB, or endogeneity need work	`jmgmt-methods`
SEM/HLM/regression/meta-analysis estimation needs review	`jmgmt-data-analysis`
The "what new theory do we learn?" statement is missing	`jmgmt-contribution-framing`
Exhibits dense; correlation table / path model unclear	`jmgmt-tables-figures`
Intro/abstract miss the JOM voice; over 50 pages	`jmgmt-writing-style`
Ready to submit; need a SAGE/ScholarOne preflight	`jmgmt-submission`
Want masked-review timeline / desk-reject odds	`jmgmt-review-process`
Received an R&R; need a response-letter strategy	`jmgmt-rebuttal`

Default order

jmgmt-topic-selection — lock the question and the empirical-vs-review path
jmgmt-theory-development — build the mechanism and a priori hypotheses (or the review's organizing framework)
jmgmt-literature-positioning — stake the contribution vs. AMJ/SMJ/JMS/Org Science
jmgmt-methods — match design to theory; CMB, endogeneity, levels, measurement
jmgmt-data-analysis — SEM/HLM/regression or meta-analytic estimation
jmgmt-contribution-framing — the theoretical-contribution statement and discussion
jmgmt-tables-figures — correlation table, path/model figure, forest plots
jmgmt-writing-style — make the idea land; enforce the 50-page limit (abstract last)
jmgmt-submission — SAGE/ScholarOne preflight + data transparency table
jmgmt-review-process — calibrate masked-review expectations
jmgmt-rebuttal — after the R&R

jmgmt-writing-style is a late-stage polish; do not rewrite the intro before theory, design, and analysis settle. The 50-page guillotine often forces cuts after the contribution is fixed, not before.

Routing by paper archetype

JOM publishes several distinct article types, and the binding constraint differs by type. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.

Archetype	Likely first bottleneck	Enter at
Micro empirical (OB/HR, survey/experiment)	construct validity + common-method bias + multilevel structure	`jmgmt-methods`
Macro empirical (strategy/entrepreneurship, archival panel)	endogeneity / identification + the theory it tests	`jmgmt-theory-development` → `jmgmt-methods`
Meta-analysis	coding protocol, artifact corrections, theory the synthesis advances	`jmgmt-data-analysis` (then `jmgmt-contribution-framing`)
Narrative / systematic review (for a Review Issue)	the organizing framework and forward agenda, not new data	`jmgmt-theory-development` → `jmgmt-contribution-framing`

Worked routing example (illustrative)

A user says: "My HR survey shows abusive supervision predicts turnover intention, but a reviewer says it's single-source cross-sectional and the theory is just labeled 'social exchange.'" That is two JOM pushbacks — common-method bias / causal-design weakness (owned by jmgmt-methods) and theory invoked by name but not used (owned by jmgmt-theory-development). Route to theory first to specify the exchange mechanism and a boundary, then to methods to add a time-lagged or multi-source wave; only once both settle do jmgmt-data-analysis (re-run the SEM) and jmgmt-tables-figures follow.

Anti-patterns

Treating JOM as interchangeable with AMJ (the AOM empirical flagship), SMJ (strategy-only), JMS (Wiley/European, more pluralist/qualitative), or Organization Science — JOM is the SMA general-management outlet that also runs strong reviews and meta-analyses
Polishing prose before the theory, design, and evidence hierarchy are stable
Forgetting the data transparency table and the 50-page guillotine until the night before submission
Submitting a meta-analysis with no theoretical advance — JOM wants synthesis that moves theory, not a coefficient census
