Abstract: Individuals encounter roadblocks to career progress in every occupation. For researchers, one of the challenges that can hinder or enhance publication success is the peer review process. Our paper is focused on understanding the factors that impact research success in the face of critical peer feedback during the peer review process. First, we hypothesise that the extent to which a researcher will be ultimately published depends on the quality of the review in the peer-review process. More importantly, drawing from the resilience literature, we predict that characteristics of the research team will moderate the relationship between the quality of the review and publication success, leading to research resilience. Our predictions are tested using data from a top tier management journal, and the implications will be discussed.

Brianna Barker Caza is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Employment Relations and Human Resources, Griffith University. The overall aim of her research program is to understand the resources and processes that produce resilience at work. Within this framework, Dr Barker Caza’s work falls into three interrelated streams of research. The first examines how individuals perceive, experience and react to adversity or setbacks in the workplace. This includes issues involving work crises, interpersonal conflict, incivility, and organisational (in)justice. The second stream of research focuses the nature, construction, and importance of individual and social resources that are used in creating functional responses to this adversity. Important resources include work identity, perceived meaningfulness of work, creativity, relational capabilities, and social support. Third, she examines the processes that foster resilience including cognitive flexibility, behavioural adaptability, and identity confirmation.
