Organization Science
Special Issue Call for Papers
Agency in the Age of AI
Guest Editors: Paul Leonardi, Alex Murray, Frank Nagle, Nelson Phillips, Juliana Schroeder Paula Ungureanu, Elisa Villani
This special issue seeks theoretically ambitious work, whether conceptual or empirically grounded, that takes the changing
production of action as its starting point. We organize the call around two complementary aims: to reconsider agency itselfwhat
it is, where it resides, and how it operates when action is co-produced by people and machinesand to understand how the changing
nature of agency reshapes the phenomena our fields care about, from organizational behavior and careers to management and
control, strategy, entrepreneurship, institutions, the sociology of work, information systems, and the governance of autonomous
action. We are not looking for general commentary on digital transformation or broad appeals for more AI research.
We welcome submissions from across the organizational sciences and from neighboring disciplines in sociology, economics, psychology,
and the philosophy of action. Given the rapid pace of change in agentic technologies, the issue will follow an accelerated
review process.
Please feel free to contact Nelson Phillips or Paula Ungureanu if you have any questions.

Special Issue: Call for Papers
TIME IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP: NEW PERSPECTIVES AND APPROACHES
This SI seeks manuscripts advancing our understanding of time in entrepreneurship. Research on the duration, pace, timing,
and speed of action calibration in entrepreneurial processes such as opportunity realization are key examples of the role
temporal dynamics play in entrepreneurship. We are especially interested in work that addresses the subjective elements of
timehow time is experienced, shaped, and communicatedand how the subjective elements might flow from objective temporal
artifacts (clock time, schedules, deadlines, etc.). The SI editorial team is excited to receive papers that deploy excellent
(time-based) theorizing and empirical work clearly related to temporal dimensions/topics that are important in entrepreneurial
settings.
