The Journal of Applied Psychology^® emphasizes the publication of original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to fields of applied psychology (other than clinical and applied experimental or human factors, which are more appropriate for other APA journals).

The journal primarily considers empirical and theoretical investigations that enhance understanding of cognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioral psychological phenomena in work and organizational settings, broadly defined.

Those psychological phenomena can be

• at one or multiple levels—individuals, groups, organizations, or cultures;
• in work settings such as business, education, training, health, service, government, or military institutions; and
• in the public or private sector, for-profit or nonprofit organizations.

The journal publishes several types of articles, including:

• Rigorously conducted empirical investigations that extend conceptual understanding (original investigations or meta-analyses);
• Theory development articles as well as integrative conceptual reviews that synthesize literature and create new theory of psychological phenomena that will stimulate novel research;
• Rigorously conducted qualitative research on phenomena that are difficult to capture with quantitative methods, or on phenomena that warrant inductive theory building.
