The Revue Internationale de Psychosociologie et de gestion des Comportements Organisationnels (RIPCO) is an independent peer-reviewed, journal dedicated to the advancement of research in the fields of work psychosociology and organizational behavior. RIPCO publishes original, high-quality academic articles in French and in English, based in any discipline from the management sciences and the humanities in general, which shed new and informed light on organizational behavior.
RIPCO has an international outlook and seeks rigorous, contextualized research that contributes to the theory and practice of psychosociology and organizational behavior, such as narrative, systematic, meta-analytical or bibliometric literature reviews summarizing scientific knowledge available on one subject, conceptual analyses proposing new theoretical frameworks, and empirical analyses using experiments, surveys, or case studies testing the relationships between organizational phenomena. RIPCO notably promotes research on sustainable organizational behavior.
Additionally, RIPCO is open to a wide range of methodological and philosophical perspectives. It welcomes high-quality international research whose approaches are under-represented in mainstream organizational behavior research, such as qualitative or critical approaches. Similarly, the journal values rigorous scholarship from countries and regions of the world that are under-represented in the field of organizational behavior.
Finally, RIPCO embraces debate and encourages controversy in the form of non-research papers, based on the idea that this type of contributions are also necessary for the advancement of knowledge. The journal also publishes reviews of important books and articles on organizational behavior.

Unlike laws, which are mandatory, standards offer flexibility in implementation. Some are obligatory, such as ISO 17021 for certifications, while others, like ISO 26000, provide non-certifiable guidelines. Recent research shows that the adoption of standards is influenced by cultural and organisational factors, with tensions sometimes arising, as seen in France's critical reception of ISO 45001. The proliferation of standards, referred to as "Tétranormalisation," also creates challenges by generating conflicts between different norms. This special i ...
