The review process and the fates of manuscripts submitted to AMJ
Article Abstract:
Four perspectives on the review processes of scientific journals were employed heuristically to examine the AMJ review process from 1984 through 1987. Results indicated modest support for hypotheses derived from accumulative advantage and particularism perspectives and more substantial support for hypotheses derived from gatekeeping and reviewer style perspectives. Testing a new perspective that combined predictors of gatekeeping and of coaching styles yielded the strongest results. In effect, the AMJ review process selectively amplified what reviewers and editors considered desirable in submitted manuscripts. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Announcements of withdrawal from South Africa revisited: making sense of contradictory event study findings
Article Abstract:
Three particular, event studies that were published in 1997 were examined to discover why their findings conflicted with each other and with those of a separate, similar study conducted in 1994. These studies investigated the effect of announcements of American companies' withdrawal from South Africa on shareholder wealth. A reevaluation of all four studies indicates that research findings depend substantially on the time period during which the announcement took place. The composition of the sample and sample selection criteria are also possible causes for the conflicting findings.

The Psychology of the Withdrawal Process: A Cross- Validational Test of Mobley's Intermdiate Linkages Model of Turnover in Two Samples
Article Abstract:
Turnover can be predicted by the employees' intentions to leave the organization. Mobley presented a model of turnover that suggested job satisfaction leads to thoughts about leaving. This leads to an intention to search for a new job affected by probabilities of finding an acceptable alternative. This leads to intention to quit and turnover. Hospital employees, mainly female, were surveyed on factors like organizational commitment, withdrawal cognition, career mobility cognition, and turnover. The results of the study are compared to Mobley's model.
