Call for Papers: Special Issue on Human Paradox Research and Practice

Journal of Global Business Insights (JGBI)

Human paradox is a phenomenon that describes the contradictory and complex nature of human behavior, cognition, and emotion in various contexts. Human paradox can manifest in different forms, such as ethical dilemmas, cultural conflicts, social dilemmas, identity crises, moral dissonance, and cognitive biases. Human paradox can have significant implications for individuals, organizations, and societies, especially in the era of globalization, digitalization, and uncertainty.

The Journal of Global Business Insights (JGBI) invites researchers and practitioners to submit their original and high-quality papers for a special issue on Human Paradox Research and Practice. The special issue aims to provide a platform for interdisciplinary and cross-cultural dialogue on the theoretical, empirical, and practical aspects of human paradox in various domains, such as management, leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, accounting, ethics, sustainability, innovation, education, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. The special issue welcomes papers that address the following topics, but not limited to:

  • Paradoxical Leadership: Exploring the tensions between conflicting leadership styles, behaviors, and practices.
  • Organizational Paradoxes: Investigating paradoxical dynamics within organizational structures, cultures, and processes.

The special issue welcomes papers that adopt different theoretical frameworks, research methods, and analytical techniques, as well as papers that are based on case studies, best practices, and lessons learned from real-world contexts. The special issue also encourages papers that offer novel and critical insights, as well as papers that challenge the existing paradigms and assumptions in human paradox research and practice.
