Young Teachers of Management in Lingnan College Repeatedly Succeed in Publishing Papers in First-Rate Journals

Recently, the young teachers in the management discipline of our school received the offer notices from international first-class periodicals. In 2018, at least 6 papers written by our teachers will be published in the international first-class academic journals.

On March 10, Professor Wang Lin received an offer from the Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP, A+ class Journal) a top international academic journal in the field of organizational behavior. Wang Lin was the first author of the article "Exploring the Effective Impact, a Boundary the Conditions, the Antecedents of Leader and Humility", focusing on humble leadership. After three rounds of edits, the article was finally accepted by JAP. Wang Lin is a doctoral student in our college. He has devoted himself to teaching and researching organizational behavior, and he has published many influential academic papers in recent years.

         In November 2017, the paper "Under the Microscope: An Experimental Look at Board, Transparency, and Director Monitoring behaviors" co-written by Yuehua Xu and who else? was formally accepted by Strategic Management Journal (SMJ, A + class Journal) a top international academic journal in the field of Strategic Management; On February 7 of this year, Yuehua Xu wrote a paper called "Alternative Governance and Corporate Financial Fraud in Transition Economies: Evidence from China" that was officially accepted by the Journal of Management (JOM, A class Journal), a well-known journal in the field of Management.

         Thanks to high positioning in academic research and a strong academic atmosphere, the teachers of management in our college have carried out in recent years a number of research works that are based on local Chinese practices and aim at reaching  the international first-class frontier. We are trying to share the features of Chinese management through international and international research methods. In the past four years (2014-2018), the teachers of management in Lingnan College have made great progress, publishing 19 in internationally recognized world-class academic journals (A + or A class journals such as AMJ, JAP, OR, MSOM, OS, JCR, JIBS, JOB, OBHDP, POM, and JOM) and 22 papers in B+ class journals, which has promoted our college's academic reputation and international influence and made important contributions to the discipline construction of Sun Yat-sen University. In particular, this group of young teachers is rapidly developing, and their research results are gradually accepted by more and more international first-class academic journals. Looking towards the future, teachers of management in our college have continued to send out academic papers to well-known international journals (e.g. MSOM, JAP), many of which are on the second or third round of edits. They are expected to achieve further success.
