Call for Papers
Special Issue on Bridging Disciplinary Divides in Mentoring Research
Expected Publication Date, June 2008
Lillian T. Eby and Tammy D. Allen, Guest Editors
The Journal of Vocational Behavior invites submissions to a special issue focusing on interdisciplinary perspectives on mentoring research. Researchers from a wide range of disciplines (e.g., education, counseling, social work, psychology, management) have a mutual interest in mentoring relationships, yet researchers within disciplines rarely integrate theories or perspectives from other areas of mentoring scholarship to their own work. This special issue encourages interdisciplinary thinking among mentoring scholars working in the areas of youth mentoring, studentfaculty (undergraduate and graduate) mentoring, and workplace mentoring. The objective of the special issue is to break down disciplinary and contextual silos, thereby providing researchers with new perspectives, theories, and approaches to the study of mentoring relationships at the individual and dyadic level. In line with the journals mission, submissions should focus on the role of mentoring in vocational behavior and career development. Research focusing exclusively on organizational benefits of mentoring will not be considered.
Empirical papers reporting original, systematic, innovative, and integrative research are targeted for this special issue. Submissions using both quantitative and qualitative analyses are welcome. Narrative reviews and conceptual articles are not included in this call for papers. Research regarding any aspect of mentoring is welcome, but all studies must be interdisciplinary in scope or have clearly delineated interdisciplinary implications for the future study of mentoring.
Submission topics might include, but are not limited to the following:
- The initiation of mentoring relationships
- Relationship development and change
- Mentoring and individual difference
- Outcomes of mentoring
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts, following the instructions found at the
Journal of Vocational Behavior Web site (www.elsevier.com/locate/jvb), no later than
April 1, 2007.

Erasmus Mundus Master on Work, Organizational and
Personnel Psychology (WOP-P)
A consortium of five European universities, Universitat de Valncia (Spain) as the coordinating institution, Universitat de Barcelona (Spain), Universit Ren Descartes Paris 5 (France), Alma Mater Studiorum-Universit di Bologna (Italy), and Universidade de Coimbra (Portugal), offers the Master on Work, Organizational, and Personnel Psychology (WOP-P) within the Erasmus Mundus
Programme.
The Master on WOP-P has four main objectives: (a) to prepare the students as competent practitioners in work, organizational, and personnel psychology; (b) to offer a European referent of training in WOP-P to the students of other regions of the world; (c) to promote mobility of European and third-country students and staff across Europe; and (d) to contribute towards university excellence and competitiveness within the European Higher Education system.
The master qualifies students for the professional practice of WOP-P. As it is based on national laws regulating the psychologist profession, the titles awarded make it possible to practice the profession of psychologist in the field of WOP psychology. Moreover, the master facilitates access to doctoral studies in this and related disciplines. Teaching staff consists of well-recognized researchers and professionals from member universities and from other European and third country universities.
The programme is based on the scientistpractitioner model, which assumes that a good preparation as practitioner implies the acquisition of professional and research competences. The master implements the main guidelines developed by the Euro-Psych model for the European Diploma of Psychology (EDP) supported by the European Federation of Psychology Association (EFPA). It also follows the Reference Model and Minimal Standards of the European Curriculum in WOP Psychology established by the European Network of Work and Organizational Psychology Professors (ENOP). A rigorous system of quality assurance is also implemented.
