The quality and number of reviews undertaken by each reviewer for JMS are the main criteria considered for this award. The Best Paper Award is awarded to the author(s) of the best paper published in JMS in the past year, as voted for by the Editors of JMS.

Academics who have received their PhD within the last 5 years are eligible for this prize and nominations are considered. These awards are announced and presented at a reception at the annual Academy of Management conference. Grigor McClelland Dissertation Award  
In 2011 the Journal of Management Studies launched the annual Grigor McClelland Dissertation Award, named after the journal's founding editor. The prize recognises authors who have published particularly innovative management scholarship in their PhD thesis. The winning author receives £5,000. The award is sponsored by the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies, and presented at the annual conference of the European Group for Organizational Studies. The Award "aims to promote and recognize innovative PhD research in management and organization studies" and "does not specify any preferences towards topics or methods". The Award's "primary focus is to recognize and award doctoral research that is expansive and imaginative in that it covers significantly new terrain or counters existing thinking within management and organisational research". The Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS) 
The Journal of Management Studies is governed by a charity named the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS), initially founded by Grigor McClelland in 1953 for this specific purpose. Since its foundation, it has considerably expanded its remit, in collaboration with the journal: it organises regular conferences, delivers awards, and co-operate with other bodies such as the British Academy of Management to award grants such as the SAMS/BAM Research and Capacity Building Grants. There are 17 trustees of the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies - including Bill Harley (chair), Sabina Siebert (deputy chair), Robert Blackburn (treasurer), Elena Antonacopoulou, Julia Balogun (the dean of the University of Liverpool School of Management), Andrew Corbett, Joep Cornelissen, Rick Delbridge, Timothy Devinney, Annabelle Gawer, Paula Jarzabkowski, Wendy Loretto (dean of the University of Edinburgh Business School), Terry McNulty, Klaus Meyer, Thomas Roulet, Bill Starbuck, Christos Tsinopoulos.
