AMJ的使命是發表實證研究，測試、擴展或構建管理理論，并為管理實踐做出貢獻。歡迎所有的經驗方法，包括但不限于定性、定量、現場、實驗室、元分析和混合方法。要在AMJ上發表，研究必須做出強有力的實證和理論貢獻，論文應該突出這些貢獻與管理實踐的相關性。作者應該努力做出原創的、有見地的、有趣的、重要的、理論上大膽的研究，這些研究表明對該領域對某個問題或主題的理解有重要的“增值”貢獻。

The mission of AMJ is to publish empirical research that tests, extends, or builds management theory and contributes to management practice. All empirical methods including, but not limited to, qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, meta-analytic, and mixed methods are welcome. To be published in AMJ, the research must make strong empirical and theoretical contributions and the manuscript should highlight the relevance of those contributions to management practice. Authors should strive to produce original, insightful, interesting, important, and theoretically bold research that demonstrates a significant "value-added" contribution to the field's understanding of an issue or topic.
