Abstract

Mitarbeiterbefragungen sind integrierter Bestandteil des Change Managements. Hannes Traut stellt fest, dass Studien, die deren Wirksamkeit betrachten, rar gesät sind. Untersuchungen zum Einfluss spezieller Merkmale des Follow-up-Prozesses auf die Effektivität einer Mitarbeiterbefragung sind ebenfalls selten. Der Ansatzpunkt des Autors ist daher die systematische Betrachtung des ganzheitlichen Prozesses. Dabei untersucht er speziell, wie sich die prozessbegleitenden Maßnahmen auf die Teilnahmemotivation der Mitarbeiter auswirken. Der Inhalt Theoretische Grundlagen: Mitarbeiterbefragungen, Motivation und Verhalten, Evaluation und Evaluationsforschung, die Aktionsforschung als Forschungsmethode im Kontext von Organisationen Abgleich der Ergebnisse der verschiedenen Datenerhebungsmethoden Reflexion der Aktionsforschung im Kontext der durchgeführten Untersuchung Kriterien zur Beurteilung von prozessbegleitenden Maßnahmen einer Mitarbeiterbefragung Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Fachgebiete Organisationspsychologie und Wirtschaftswissenschaften Praktisch Tätige im Bereich Human Resource und Change Management Der Autor Hannes Traut ist derzeit als Personalreferent in einem international agierenden Unternehmen der Automobilbranche tätig, wo er bereits über sieben Jahre praktische Erfahrung in der Umsetzung von Mitarbeiterbefragungen gesammelt hat.

Abstract

This fascinating collection analyzes the impact of Western consumer culture on local cultures and consumption in Southeast Europe and East Asia. Cultural, historical, economic and sociopolitical contexts are examined regarding buying behaviors, usage and customization practices and consumer activism, specifically in Bulgaria, Serbia, and Romania as cultures continue to evolve in the post-socialist era, and in China and Japan as a continuation of movements toward modernity and progress. Surprising and thought-provoking contrasts stand out as consumers balance the global with the local in terms of clothing, technology, luxury items, and food. All chapters feature a wealth of empirical and cross-cultural data, and the presentation is framed by Professor Mike Featherstone’s theoretical essay on the origins of consumer culture and the consequences of two hundred years of increasing consumption for the human condition and the future of the planet. Included in the coverage: “You are a socialist child like me”: Goods and Identity in Bulgaria Consumer Culture from Socialist Yugoslavia to Post-Socialist Serbia: Movements and Moments Preserves Exiting Socialism: Authenticity, Anti-Standardization, and Middle-Class Consumption in Post-Socialist Romania Modernization and the Department Store in Early 20th-Century Japan: Modern Girl and New Consumer Culture Lifestyles A Cultural Reading of Conspicuous Consumption in China Approaching Consumer Culture broadens the cultural anthropology literature and will be welcomed by Western and Eastern scholars and researchers alike. Its depth and accessibility make it useful to university courses in cultural anthropology, cultural studies, and sociology.

Abstract

This book provides an introduction to the theory of support-bargaining and money-bargaining. Support-bargaining arises from the propensity of all individuals to seek the support of those around them and is the underlying mechanism of democratic societies. It is also the underlying mechanism of theory formation. Intellectual support-bargaining is the process by which support is assembled for ideas and theories. Mainstream economic theory, or ‘neoclassical theory’, can be seen as formulated to advance individual interest. It is mainstream because it has assembled sufficient support to give it ascendancy in academia. It reconciles private and public interest in a mathematical account of resource allocation. Money-bargaining, in contrast, explains the process of economic exchange. Transactions are based on information, so that the character of information itself influences the conduct of exchange. This volume provides a radically new explanation of the functioning of human societies that will be recognised as entirely consistent with common observation and experience. Patrick Spread studied at Trinity College, Oxford, UK and obtained a doctorate from London Business School, UK. He worked as a business economist in London before moving to public sector posts overseas, working initially in the Pacific and subsequently in Asia and Africa. His first book on support-bargaining and money-bargaining was published by Macmillan in 1984.

Abstract

How we recruit future healthcare professionals is critically important, as the demand for high quality healthcare increases across the globe. This book questions what the evidence tells us about how best to select those most suited to a career in healthcare, ensuring that the approaches used are relevant and fair to all who apply. The editors of this collection take a comprehensive look at the latest research surrounding recruitment and selection into healthcare roles. Each chapter is authored by leading experts and, using international case material, the practical implications for workforce policy are explored. They review the key stages in designing effective selection systems and discuss how best to evaluate the quality of selection processes. Evidence from role analysis studies as well as the effectiveness of different selection methods including aptitude and situational judgment tests, personality assessment and interviews are examined. Chapters also cover approaches to student selection and recruitment for postgraduate trainees through to senior appointments. Finally they highlight contemporary issues in recruitment, including the use of technology, selecting for values, candidate perceptions, coaching issues and how best to promote diversity and widening access.

Abstract

Understanding the effects of and psychology behind ethical and unethical leadership decisions can have a lasting and far reaching effect on any working environment. This book utilizes social identity theory and applied research to discuss the implications and applications of ethical and unethical leadership to work groups and organisations. The authors argue that improving ethicality results in healthier and more productive relationships between leaders and employees, and between employees and the organisation, which can impact positively on the success of the organisation as a whole. The book explores the benefits of ethical leadership and how to deal with unethical leaders, as well as how and why teams react to different types of leadership. The concluding chapter suggests several strategies for interventions that organisations can adopt to improve their ethical leadership frameworks. The book is essential reading for academics and professionals involved in workplace psychology and ethics as well as anyone interested in learning about the effects of ethics on leadership. Catarina Morais is an associate lecturer at University of Kent, UK. Her research interests focus on group members’ perceptions of ethical and unethical leaders and how those perceptions shape their reactions. Georgina Randsley de Moura is Professor in Social and Organisational Psychology and Head of School at the School of Psychology, University of Kent, UK. Her recent research has focused on how leaders manage a delicate line in representing their group whilst also pushing the boundaries; or leaders being different or unexpected in some way.

Abstract

This book demonstrates how applying behavioural science to commercial problems can effectively help businesses to understand and achieve the best outcomes for their customers. Bringing together theory and practice the author describes how approaches underpinning behavioural science can be adapted to the fast-moving environment of the private sector. The first part of the book discusses the underlying theory and principles behind behavioural science. It outlines the history of the discipline, explaining how behavioural scientists use theories and models of behaviour, and discussing why behaviour is so hard to predict. It then describes how the theory can be applied to designing products, services and interventions. In Part II Rubinstein uses several key case studies to explore the challenges of integrating behavioural science into established practices, considering how to use behavioural science in multidisciplinary teams and why this might be useful. She addresses concerns about the ethics of using behavioural science in this context before describing the value of applying behavioural science to business and how best to realise its potential. This book is a must-read for both practitioners and academics interested in applying the science of behaviour to real-world challenges. Helena Rubinstein is Head of Behavioural Science at Innovia Technology and works with major global corporations across many different sectors. She has held senior positions in advertising and communications. Her academic background is in social and health psychology, and she lectures at the University of Cambridge, UK, on the application of social psychology to social issues.
