AMR的使命是發(fā)表理論見解，促進我們對管理和組織的理解。提交到AMR的論文必須擴展理論，以開發(fā)可測試的基于知識的聲明。要做到這一點，研究人員可以開發(fā)新的管理和組織理論，顯著地挑戰(zhàn)或澄清現(xiàn)有的理論，將最近的進展和想法綜合成新的(如果不是全新的)理論，或者通過識別和描述一個新的理論問題來開始尋找新的理論。AMR文章的貢獻通常基于經(jīng)濟學(xué)、心理學(xué)、社會學(xué)或社會心理學(xué)的“正常科學(xué)學(xué)科”以及人文學(xué)科等非傳統(tǒng)視角。

The mission of AMR is to publish theoretical insights that advance our understanding of management and organizations. Submissions to AMR must extend theory in ways that develop testable knowledge-based claims. To do this, researchers can develop new management and organization theory, significantly challenge or clarify existing theory, synthesize recent advances and ideas into fresh, if not entirely new theory, or initiate a search for new theory by identifying and delineating a novel theoretical problem. The contributions of AMR articles often are grounded in “normal science disciplines” of economics, psychology, sociology, or social psychology as well as nontraditional perspectives, such as the humanities.
