The Journal of Social Psychology of Work (JSPW) is an on-line, open access, interdisciplinary academic journal which operates in a Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) mode. It aims at promoting scientific production in the fields of Work and Organizational Processes from the Social Psychology perspective, as well as from other fields in humanities and social sciences which fall within the scope of critical perspectives. Priority will be given to contributions that present reflections on concrete situations and propositions that advance in transformation processes towards health promotion and the guarantee of workers' rights. In this sense, Work is considered a central category as well as the Workers’ point of view, marking an epistemological and ethical-political difference from the managerial approaches which consider workers as human resources. This journal welcomes articles based on diverse theoretical readings, original and unpublished, in the following formats: research, intervention and experience reports, as well as theoretical essays. Literature reviews are only accepted when used to support a consistent theoretical discussion. After consultation with the editors, book reviews, translations and interviews may be accepted. The journal’s target audience includes students, academics, researchers, academics and professionals from Psychology and related areas interested in the field of Work and Organizational Processes.
