Dear Colleagues
Here is our June JBP table of contents featuring articles around 21st century skills. Below is the description from the guest editors:
The workplace is changing. Jobs that once required individuals to perform repetitive and routine tasks are now requiring groups of workers to attack complex and unstructured problems, often with minimal supervision. These changes have important implications for understanding the determinants of job performance and effectiveness. The increasing complexity of jobs has increased the importance of skills such as complex problem solving, but the changing nature of the workplace has also placed greater emphasis on a range of dispositional attributes, ranging from work ethic to willingness and ability to adapt. This Special Section in Journal of Business and Psychology includes in total seven papers that deal with a wide and diverse range of issues related to the changing nature and demands of the workplace in the 21st century. These papers highlight the relevance of a changing set of cognitive and interpersonal skills, as well as work attitudes and beliefs, in the modern workplace. We as guest editors hope you enjoy reading this Special Section in Journal of Business and Psychology.

Update
I have been asked by a number of folks how our results-blind initiative was working. Let me take a moment and share an update. We are getting about 2 submissions a month. The overall acceptance rate appears to be quite similar to the traditional path submissions. The process seems to be going smoothly and efficiently. Reviewers seem to be embracing the vision that highly compelling questions answered in highly compelling ways should be published irrespective of the actual findings. I continue to be optimistic about the power of this submission path to yield even more transparent and unfiltered results.
