Editorial objectives

The Journal of Health Organization and Management supports the development and dissemination of knowledge within health organization and management. It prioritises critical exploration, and is dedicated to analyses from a diverse range of theoretical and applied perspectives. Multi-disciplinary in scope, the Journal is a forum where innovative analyses feature strongly. 

Editorial criteria

Research papers based on empirical and/or theoretical perspectives are actively encouraged, along with shorter 'work-in-progress' pieces. In addition to papers which take the more traditional approach to health organization and management, the journal particularly invites contributions which explore debates within gender studies, critical management studies, ethics, post-modernism, critical realism and other areas which question the established paradigms.

The journal seeks not only contributions that are complete in their conception, analysis and delivery, but also contributions from academics, students and practitioners who wish to test their ideas as they are in the process of development. Empirical and theoretical work which draws upon a wide range of disciplines and perspectives is sought.

Coverage

• International health and international organizations

• Theories and practices of management and leadership in health and related organizations
• Emotion in health care organizations

Topicality

As the demands on the health care industry both polarize and intensify, effective management of financial and human resources, the restructuring of organizations and the handling of market forces are increasingly important areas for the industry to address.

Key benefits

The journal provides an international forum for the exchange of new knowledge and ideas surrounding organization and management issues in health care. Readers are kept up-to-date with the latest developments and innovative analyses of management theory and practice.
