Im Arbeitsleben wird das Verfolgen moralischer Ziele oftmals durch Hindernisse und Risiken erschwert. Mitarbeiter, die Moral Courage aufweisen, setzen sich auch bei Gegenwind und Schwierigkeiten aktiv für moralische Werte ein und können daher eine wichtige Basis für die ethische Stärke von Unternehmen darstellen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird einerseits ein neues Messinstrument zur Erfassung von Moral Courage am Arbeitsplatz vorgestellt, die Moral Courage at the Workplace Scale (MCWS), und andererseits werden begünstigende und hinderliche Faktoren für Moral Courage untersucht. Die MCWS zeugte in mehreren Studien von guten psychometrischen Eigenschaften sowie konvergenter und divergenter Validität. Es handelt sich um die erste Skala, welche Moral Courage am Arbeitsplatz in verschiedenen, voneinander abgrenzbaren Situationsarten erfasst: dem Eingreifen bei unethischen Handlungen von Kollegen, dem Eingreifen bei unethischen Handlungen von Vorgesetzten, dem Weigern bei unethischen Anweisungen, dem Zugeben von Fehlern, und dem Verfolgen von Ideen. In einem weiteren Forschungsprojekt wurde mit Hilfe kurzer schriftlicher Szenarien ermittelt, wie stark die in einer Situation empfundene Selbstwirksamkeit und die vorhandenen positiven antizipierten Emotionen für die Ausführung und negativen antizipierten Emotionen für die Unterlassung einer moralisch couragierten Handlung mit der Handlungsbereitschaft zusammenhängen. Die Höhe negativer Konsequenzen für den Handelnden wurde in den Szenarien experimentell manipuliert. Selbstwirksamkeit, positive und negative antizipierte Emotionen erwiesen sich in dieser Studie als begünstigende Faktoren und das Risiko für negative Konsequenzen als hinderlicher Faktor für die Bereitschaft, moralisch couragiert zu handeln. Positive antizipierte Emotionen konnten zudem den negativen Einfluss des Risikos auf die Handlungsbereitschaft abfedern. Implikationen dieser Ergebnisse für die Förderung von Moral Courage in Unternehmen werden dargestellt.
Despite various efforts to decrease gender differences in organizations and the underrepresentation of females in management positions, progress is little. However, efforts can only be effective if the source of the problem is identified and understood. Thus, a considerable number of studies has been carried out in an attempt to understand which aspects facilitate the underrepresentation of females in management (e. g., Joshi, Son,& Roh, 2015; Niederle & Vesterlund, 2007; Eagly & Karau, 2002). Research has shown that the reason for the gender disparity in leading positions is twofold. First, individual differences in characteristics and behavior are compelling predictors of gender imbalance in organizations (Bass & Bass, 2009; Joshi & Roh, 2009; Judge, Bono, Ilies, & Gerhardt, 2002; Mumford et al., 2000). Second, current research on gender inequality emphasized that some work contexts seem to be more vulnerable to this phenomenon (Joshi & Roh, 2009; Gardiner & Tiggemann, 1999). Although the topic is ubiquitous and has been widely discussed in various disciplines, research has often been conducted within the confines of laboratory settings, and field research neglected to systematically include the work context as an explanatory variable.
In order to shed new light on this issue, the work presented here investigated gender
differences in career-relevant psychological aspects and behaviors, depending on the
position and the female/male dominance of work environment. In a literature review, three constructs emerged that have not been systematically explored in the workplace as
potential indicators of gender differences in managers and non-managers. Therefore, cognitive reflection, confidence in one’s own skills, and deceptive behavior were investigated in three field studies, looking directly at females and males in leading and non-leading positions in female- and male-dominated fields.
Study 1a and 1b focused on the examination of the constructs within the private sector. Female and male managers and non-managers in multiple companies in Germany from the male-dominated manufacturing and the female-dominated service sector were surveyed. Results indicated a strong influence of business sectors on gender differences in self-image and work-related behavior. In order to cope with gender-incongruent work environments, males and females followed different strategies. In the female-dominated service sector, males coped with the incongruency by engaging in impression management by being overconfident as well as using self-enhancement by deceiving. In contrast to males, females only engaged in self-enhancement by deceiving in the male-dominated manufacturing sector. Both strategies were used to appear in a more positive light and to cope with the gender-incongruent workplace. Study 2 examined the three constructs in the government sector, more specifically, in female and male politicians from Germany’s national and its sixteen state parliaments and civil servants. In contrast to the private sector, males and females did neither use self-enhancement nor impression management strategies. This finding was surprising as the underrepresentation of females is an issue in both, business and politics.
Overall, the findings of the present work on cognitive reflection, confidence and deception shed new light on gender differences as overconfidence and deception functioned as impression management and self-enhancement strategies for males and females to manage the demands of female- and male-dominated industries. In contrast, this does not apply for politics where those strategies were not used. Moreover, the results suggest that the investigation of female- and male-dominated environments is crucial to explain the behavior of females and males and truly provides a better understanding of gender
differences at work.
Technology entrepreneurship is on the rise around the world. In the quest for change, comparative advantage, innovation creation and socioeconomic progress, a turn to entrepreneurial solutions to persistent developmental challenges has provided a powerful and captivating alternative to past solution approaches. As a consequence, innovation clusters have mushroomed, and an enthusiasm for entrepreneurial activity has caught the attention of many in localities as diverse as Kenya’s Silicon Savannah, Nigeria’s Yabacoon Valley, South Africa’s Silicon Cape, Chile’s Chilecon Valley and Germany’s Silicon Allee, to mention just a few. Yet despite this new, vibrant entrepreneurial activity that continuous to nourish a global wave of excitement, we know little about how technology entrepreneurship is actually performed in these disparate places. This doctoral thesis sought to fill this gap by taking a look “behind the scenes” of one of the most prominent innovation clusters in Africa — Kenya’s information and communications technology (ICT) sector. In this empirical setting, industry participants were in the midst of actively negotiating and rationalizing how technology entrepreneurship needs to work to make it a success, to unlock the benefits of a knowledge economy for Kenya and to carve out a space in the global innovation landscape for innovations made in Africa. Three interconnected academic papers form the core of this thesis. The first paper provides a detailed illustration of the local and global prescriptions that influence entrepreneurial action in Kenya’s ICT sector and inspired the conceptualization of a dynamic process model of globalization. The second paper offers a fine-grained view into the work realities of Kenyans and the generation of the multidimensional work portfolios across which workers diversify their activities to achieve economic survival, create wealth and exert agency for change. The third paper is a theoretical piece that theorizes the process of nonnative organizational forms diffusing and becoming adopted in new organizational environments. All in all, the thesis can be seen as an attempt to study the complexities that reign in African economies through an organizational lens and thus to foster a global organizational scholarship research agenda and discourse that can be of benefit to the many rather than just the few.
Being a next generation member in an enterprising family is accompanied by a central question: What is my role within the enterprising family and why? Taking a unified systems perspective, this dissertation thesis focuses on the next generation in enterprising families and their entrepreneurial roles within the orchestration of three elements: the individual, the family and the business. Taking into account that those three elements constantly influence each other and change over time, this dissertation thesis introduces a more holistic understanding of the next generation in enterprising families. Using a multiple-role approach conceding that the next generation can have more roles within the enterprising family next to being the successor, this dissertation thesis encompasses three studies on overall 413 next generation members focusing on their entrepreneurial roles within the family business and new venture context. This dissertation thesis uses different methodological (quantitative and qualitative) and theoretical approaches (family, social cognition and organizational behavior science) to address the limited knowledge about the different roles of the next generation within the enterprising family. Study 1 focuses on the family business versus new venture context and aims at understanding how the intentions and actions of entrepreneurial roles of the next generation emerge and develop over
time. Study 2 investigates the entrepreneurial roles of the next generation within the family
business and how it shapes their strategic decision making within this context. Study 3
researches the role of the next generation as a founder of an own venture, and how the
enterprising family shapes the venture creation process. By that, this dissertation thesis
contributes to: (1) obtaining a better understanding of the family side in entrepreneurship, which becomes especially well-observable from the (to date) under-researched perspective of the next generation in enterprising families, (2) creating a common understanding that the next generation can have entrepreneurial roles within the enterprising family beyond being the successor in the family business, which offers the opportunity to understand how
entrepreneurial behavior develops within life stages and life cycles of a family and how
entrepreneurship is transferred through generations, (3) emphasizing the relevance of the next generation within the family as well as the business side in investigating the potential
entrepreneurial capacity of enterprising families and their business initiatives contributing to theory building on enterprising families, and (4) providing further research aspirations
concerning the next generation and their roles in enterprising families, including ideas for future research on how to assess the entrepreneurial roles of the next generation within the enterprising family.
Globalization is altering the international economic environment. To remain competitive and
gain future competitive advantage, corporations need to operate successfully in an
international context. Exploiting the potential offered by the increasingly global economy
requires the effective capture of markets. Although the world economy is becoming
globalized, some international markets continue to have high entry barriers and are thus
closing themselves off to foreign companies. These barriers impede access to these markets
and thus hamper corporations from adequately exploiting them. However, corporations
should by no means allow these markets to lie fallow since this would deprive them of the
possibility to participate in prospective growth markets. Corporations must consequently
promote adequate internationalization and engage in market exploitation strategies to remain
successful in an internationally competitive environment.
It is the aim of this research to support corporations within the processes of
internationalization and market exploitation. Therefore, the research explicitly focuses on
developing an encompassing model that supports corporations in identifying markets, which,
in order to be exploited effectively, require local production activities. Typically, this entails
markets that show foreclosure tendencies. A decision-making process model for corporations’
internationalization and market exploitation strategies structured in different phases is
developed, and relevant influencing factors are compiled and assigned to the appropriate
phases. The process model, which aims to enable corporations to follow a structured
internationalization and market exploitation approach by analyzing the most decisive
influencing factors at respective process phases, is thereby targeted at empowering
corporations to adequately exploit the potential the globalizing world economy offers. The aim
of this research is thus to develop a comprehensive decision-making process model to effectively support corporations during the process of internationalization.
To further strengthen European integration much can be done and is actually needed. The present work provides a wide range of empirical results and corresponding policy recommendations from the perspective of economics. The collection of articles here provides a clear illustration that there is a lot of potential to amend the architecture of the European Union and the euro area, respectively. It is well understood that the process of European integration is a continuous process which requires adjustments from time to time. This thesis provides results which indicate that very specific measures, such as facilitating a catch-up in terms of institutional quality by central and eastern European countries, would be beneficial for the process of European integration. This is in line with the general claim that institutional harmonization has to be enhanced.
It is shown that within the more narrow framework of the euro area measures to enhance the functioning of the single currency are needed as well. In sum, this implies a strong need for policy measures in response to the recent developments of European integration. Moreover, it is demonstrated that common rules have to be equally binding for all countries. In fact, a number of necessary policy measures are already being implemented, for example the implementation of Basel III. With respect to implementation, results of this thesis imply that such measures have to be implemented carefully. Policy makers have to take into account country-specific characteristics when implementing one-fits-all policy measures. Nonetheless, the uniform European rules are not questioned here.
In addition to the results and corresponding policy recommendations, the bulk of the research done here also contributes methodologically to economics. The increasing availability of micro-data is used to address macroeconomic questions and derive corresponding macroeconomic results and implications. Future research in economics will most likely make more and more use of such data.
Vor dem Hintergrund des Klimawandels, dessen Auswirkungen von Jahr zu Jahr deutlicher zu spüren sind, nimmt die Relevanz des nachhaltigen Handelns in unserer Gesellschaft merklich zu (Seifi et al.2012). Die Einführung einer sogenannten „Green Economy“, um dem Klimawandel entgegenwirken zu können, gewinnt daher zunehmend an Bedeutung (BMBF 2014). Dennoch lassen sich zahlreiche Hürden beim Versuch erkennen, zukünftige Generationen vor den Auswirkungen des aktuellen Umweltverhaltens zu schützen. Auf der einen Seite sind die Produktion und der Konsum von Gütern und Dienstleistungen wichtige Treiber des wirtschaftlichen Wohlstandes (Belz 2005). Die Produktion dieser Güter ist jedoch abhängig von der Natur und dem ökologischen Kreislauf und kann daher auf der anderen Seite gleichzeitig zu sozialen und umweltbezogenen Problemen führen (Nölting 2010, Belz 2005). Zwar gibt es bereits einige Fortschritte und Initiativen für eine nachhaltige Produktion sowie einen nachhaltigen Konsum wie zum Beispiel erneuerbare Energien, Gemeinschaftskonsum oder geltende Umweltstandards, die Entwicklung eines nachhaltigen Konsumverhaltens steht jedoch noch am Anfang (World Economic Forum 2012, Grunwald und Kopfmüller 2006). Die Herausforderungen bezogen auf das Konsumentenverhalten beim Erwerb von nachhaltigen Produkten wurde bisher hauptsächlich aus der Sicht der Konsumenten betrachtet und analysiert. Dazu wurden die Einflüsse unterschiedlicher Determinanten auf die Kaufabsicht und das Kaufverhalten untersucht. Eine Betrachtung der aktuellen Herausforderungen aus Sicht der Unternehmen und eine Gegenüberstellung der Sichtweise der Konsumenten und der der Unternehmen fehlten hingegen bisher in den wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen. Die vorliegende Thesis betrachtet daher beide Sichtweisen, die zusammen die sogenannte ‚Zielgruppenperspektive‘ innerhalb dieser Arbeit bilden. Neben der Zielgruppenperspektive beinhaltet die vorliegende Thesis die sogenannte ‚Branchenperspektive‘. Da Nachhaltigkeit ein weitumfassendes Thema ist, werden in dieser Arbeit die Branchenschwerpunkte ‚Bio-Lebensmittel‘ und ‚Nachhaltige Mode‘ als Nachhaltigkeitsbeispiele untersucht. Bezogen auf die aktuellen Herausforderungen des nachhaltigen Konsums der vorliegenden Thesis wird das übergeordnete Ziel angestrebt, neue Ansatzpunkte zur Steigerung und Verbesserung des nachhaltigen Handels für Konsumenten und Unternehmen zu identifizieren.
With the ripple effects of the global financial crisis of 2008 exhibiting enduring rifts in the global economy to date, an assessment of the crisis as being rooted in both market and regulatory failure sheds light on the significance and the severity of the challenges cross-border financial capitalism presents nation states with in the wake of globalization. As externalities increase, the threats the unprecedented interdependence and instability of the modern financial system pose are unlikely to recede; on the contrary, they are bound to
become more pressing. This is of considerable significance for financial governance, implying that sovereign nation states – formally legitimized to conduct regulatory functions – must construct robust cross-border structures to cope with the challenges of governing an inherently crisis-prone system.
In an attempt to address the underlying shortcomings exposed by the crisis – among them that the regulatory and supervisory architecture was not commensurate with the complexity and sophistication of financial markets – the European Union embarked on an ambitious reform path. The potential capacity of European integration in this regard, though central in the academic debate, has yet to be analyzed systematically with respect to systemic risk in terms of both its systemic qualities and political embeddedness. Drawing on a refined definition thereof set out by Willke et al. (2013), this research aims to shed light on how these themes resonate in the European context to inform the critical analysis of
conducted reforms. Based on the assumption that cross-border finance requires integrated governance schemes to ensure its integrity and efficacy, the central goals are to (i) assess both systemic-risk related reform measures and the challenges they are confronted with, and (ii) illuminate the significance of reform, while underpinning the case for enhanced integration.
Drawing on a broad theoretical framework combining insights from various EU integration theories to trace the rationale and assess the potential and significance of supranational integration, and constructing an analytical framework within which to assess the order-, legitimacy- and expertise-related challenges current structures are confronted with, i.e. factors inhibiting governance capacity, the research concludes that though substantive reforms have largely failed to address the core systemic issues exposed by the crisis, there has indeed been substantial progress in terms of the reform of the institutional governance
architecture at the European level. While monumental challenges remain, it would be premature to discredit the response in its entirety. The analysis highlights the European Union’s remarkable capacity to adjust, with institutional responses essentially at the boundaries of legal and political feasibility. Given what is at stake, however, it contends that – with a view to future challenges – supranational governance regimes remain short of optimal scope and must be strengthened to forestall the gradual erosion of governance capacity vis-à-vis an increasingly interdependent and fragile financial system.
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht, inwieweit die Organisationskultur Einfluss auf die Externalisierung impliziten Wissens hat. In einem ersten Schritt wird eine Definition des Begriffes Wissen im wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Kontext vorgenommen. Weiterhin wird der Stellenwert, den Wissensmanagement in Organisationen hat, umrissen. Es werden die bekanntesten Wissensmanagement-Modelle für Organisationen vorgestellt.
Anhand des Organisationskulturmodells von Edgar Schein wird ein Untersuchungsleitfaden erstellt, der die Aspekte Artefakte, kommunizierte Organisationswerte und darunter liegende Basisannahmen miteinbezieht. Für die Untersuchung wird eine qualitative Fallstudienvorgehensweise gewählt. Ein teilstrukturierter Interviewleitfaden gewährleistet eine sowohl deduktive als auch induktive Theoriengenerierung.
Für die Arbeit werden vier verschiedene Organisationen untersucht. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf den individuellen Fallstudien. Ein direkter Vergleich zwischen den Organisationen ist nur bedingt möglich, da die Organisationen sehr unterschiedliche Geschäftsmodelle und Branchen- und Marktausrichtungen aufweisen.
Der Schwerpunkt der einzelnen Fallstudien liegt in der Herausarbeitung der jeweiligen vorhandenen Organisationskulturelemente und ihres Einflusses auf die Externalisierung impliziten Wissens. Für alle vier Organisationen werden Empfehlungen erstellt.
Alle vier Organisationen werden zusätzlich in vier theoretischen Organisationskulturmodellen verortet. Dabei werden jeweils die Einflüsse der Aspekte der vier unterschiedlichen Kulturmodelle auf die Externalisierung von Erfahrungswissen diskutiert.
Erste Schlüsse, welche Elemente der Organisationskultur die Externalisierung fördern oder behindern können, werden vorgestellt. Ein Ausblick über den zukünftigen Stellenwert von implizitem Wissen für Organisationen bildet den Abschluss der Arbeit.
Die vorliegende Arbeit liefert eine erste empirische Untersuchung zum Einsatz digitaler Medien in der Aus- und Weiterbildung von Fahrlehrern und zeigt anhand einer Fallstudie zur internetgestützten Videoreflexion auf, welche Chancen, aber auch Hürden hier bestehen.
Die Hauptaufgabe von Fahrlehrern ist es, Fahrschüler zu sicheren, verantwortungsvollen und umweltbewussten Verkehrsteilnehmern auszubilden. Dafür benötigen Fahrlehrer Lehrkompetenz, die sie bereits in ihrer Ausbildung erwerben sollten. Jedoch fehlen in der Fahrlehrerausbildung bislang bewährte, standardisierte Methoden der Lehrkompetenzförderung. Aus dem Kontext der Lehrerbildung ist bekannt, dass die Reflexion eigener und fremder Unterrichtsvideos eine gute Methode darstellt, die Lehrkompetenz (angehender) Lehrpersonen zu fördern. Digitale Medien ermöglichen eine schnelle und einfache Bereitstellung der Unterrichtsaufnahmen über Online-Plattform sowie eine internetgestützte Videoreflexion mittels Videoannotation. Die Implementation solcher moderner Ansätze gestaltet sich in der Praxis jedoch oft schwierig: Innerhalb einer Einrichtung müssen unterschiedliche Dimensionen, Ebenen und Einflussfaktoren berücksichtigt werden, um eine nachhaltige Implementation einer Innovation zu ermöglichen. Gerade in der Fahrlehrerausbildung stellt dies eine Herausforderung dar, weil bislang keine empirischen Erkenntnisse zum Einsatz digitaler Medien in diesem Kontext vorliegen.
Vor diesem theoretisch erarbeiteten Hintergrund wird im empirischen Teil der Dissertation anhand einer qualitativen Fallstudie mit vier Fällen aus drei Ländern die Implementation der internetgestützten Videoreflexion in der Fahrlehrerausbildung untersucht. Es wird betrachtet, inwiefern sich das Konzept zum Einsatz der internetgestützten Videoreflexion in der Aus- und Weiterbildung von Fahrlehrern implementieren lässt und welcher individuelle sowie organisationale Mehrwert daraus entsteht.
Die Ergebnisse der Fallstudie zeigen, dass in keinem der vier untersuchten Fälle die internetgestützte Videoreflexion nachhaltig in die Aus- und Weiterbildung von Fahrlehrern implementiert wurde, obwohl alle Beteiligten einen Mehrwert in der Videoarbeit sehen. In der Praxis zeigten sich unterschiedliche Schwierigkeiten und Hürden: Oftmals gab es keine klare Struktur der Einsatzkonzepte und keine feste Integration der Videoarbeit in den Lehrplan der Ausbildung. Darüber hinaus hat keine der beteiligten Einrichtungen ein ökonomisches Modell entwickelt und ihre Strukturen und Rahmenbedingungen dauerhaft so verändert, dass eine nachhaltige Implementation der internetgestützten Videoreflexion in die Aus- und Weiterbildung von Fahrlehrern möglich wäre. Letztendlich stellt die Struktur der Fahrlehrerausbildung eine Hürde dar: Die gesetzlichen Vorgaben lassen kaum Spielraum, neue Angebote in die Ausbildung zu integrieren, gerade wenn es um virtuelle Elemente geht.
