The aim of this study was to investigate employees’ self-reported creativity before and after vacation and to examine the impact of recovery experiences (detachment, relaxation, mastery, meaning, autonomy, affiliation) on changes in creativity. The DRAMMA model of Newman et al. provides the theoretical background of our approach. Longitudinal data was assessed with four repeated measurements. The study encompassed data from 274 white-collar workers. Analyses showed that employees subjectively perceive their creativity to benefit not immediately after their vacation but 2 weeks later. Detachment was significantly related to lower creativity within persons, while mastery experiences explained differences in creativity between persons. This study provides a detailed picture of changes in creativity around vacations.
Seit Sokrates bildet die Frage „Was macht ein glückliches Leben aus?“ den Ausgangspunkt der Entwicklung einer Vielfalt von Wohlbefindenstheorien. Den Kern dieses Aufsatzes bildet die Erörterung der Fragen, inwieweit das Konzept der empirischen Lebenszufriedenheit und die dadurch gewonnenen Korrelate einen Beitrag zur Beantwortung dieser Frage leisten und ob diese Antworten eine Wohlbefindenstheorie begründen können, welche die philosophische Theorie mit empirischen Ergebnissen verknüpft.
Im Zentrum dieses Aufsatzes steht eine Diskussion der wichtigsten Wohlbefindenstheorien, ihrer Qualitäten, Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede. Einen Schwerpunkt bildet die Theorie der subjektiven Lebenszufriedenheit. Ich diskutiere Stärken und Schwächen des Konzeptes und stelle die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der empirischen Lebenszufriedenheitsforschung in einem Überblick dar.
Im Ergebnis argumentiere ich, dass die Resultate der empirischen Forschung als Grundlage einer subjektiv-objektiven Wohlbefindenstheorie dienen können. Qualitativ hochwertige zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen, ein gesunder Lebensstil, eine ausgewogene Work-Life-Balance, der Einsatz für Andere, das Verfolgen von Lebenszielen und persönlichen Interessen bilden die Grundlage einer Wohlbefindenstheorie, die sich auf empirische Lebenszufriedenheitsforschung stützt.
Warum wir tun, was andere wollen: Psychologische Determinanten informeller Macht in Organisationen
(2012)
Das Forschungsprojekt beruht auf zwei Elementen: Die erste Untersuchung, ein Verhaltensexperiment mit 35 Studierenden der Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, erforschte den Einfluss von Gruppengröße (Zuschauereffekt) und dargebotenen Informationen zu Verantwortungsdiffusion (Priming) auf nachhaltiges Verhalten. Mithilfe eines zweiten Online-Experiments folgte eine Erhebung zum Einfluss von wahrgenommener persönlicher Bedrohung auf die Bereitschaft zu nachhaltigem Verhalten (N = 72). Die Ergebnisse des ersten Experimentes zeigen einen schwachen, statistisch nicht signifikanten Einfluss der Gruppengröße sowie einen, z.T. statistisch signifikanten, Einfluss der dargebotenen Informationen zu Verantwortungsdiffusion auf das gemessene nachhaltige Verhalten. Bequemlichkeit sowie monetärer Aufwand stellen mit Abstand die größten Hindernisse für nachhaltiges Verhalten dar, während die Beeinflussung durch andere und das Ziel des Umweltschutzes als positive Argumente für nachhaltiges Verhalten genannt wurden. In der Folgestudie konnte ein statistisch signifikanter kausaler Zusammenhang zwischen der wahrgenommenen persönlichen Bedrohung durch die aktuelle Umwelt- und Klimasituation und der Bereitschaft zu nachhaltigem Verhalten nachgewiesen werden. Alle Resultate zu Verhaltensintentionen zeigten insgesamt eine hohe Bereitschaft der Probanden zu nachhaltigem Verhalten.
Unlimited paid time off policies are currently fashionable and widely discussed by HR professionals around the globe. While on the one hand, paid time off is considered a key benefit by employees and unlimited paid time off policies (UPTO) are seen as a major perk which may help in recruiting and retaining talented employees, on the other hand, early adopters reported that employees took less time off than previously, presumably leading to higher burnout rates. In this conceptual review, we discuss the theoretical and empirical evidence regarding the potential effects of UPTO on leave utilization, well-being and performance outcomes. We start out by defining UPTO and placing it in a historical and international perspective. Next, we discuss the key role of leave utilization in translating UPTO into concrete actions. The core of our article constitutes the description of the effects of UPTO and the two pathways through which these effects are assumed to unfold: autonomy need satisfaction and detrimental social processes. We moreover discuss the boundary conditions which facilitate or inhibit the successful utilization of UPTO on individual, team, and organizational level. In reviewing the literature from different fields and integrating existing theories, we arrive at a conceptual model and five propositions, which can guide future research on UPTO. We conclude with a discussion of the theoretical and societal implications of UPTO.
Work-related thoughts during off-job time have been studied extensively in occupational health psychology and related fields. We provide a focused review of the research on overcommitment—a component within the effort–reward imbalance model—and aim to connect this line of research to the most commonly studied aspects of work-related rumination. Drawing on this integrative review, we analyze survey data on ten facets of work-related rumination, namely (1) overcommitment, (2) psychological detachment, (3) affective rumination, (4) problem-solving pondering, (5) positive work reflection, (6) negative work reflection, (7) distraction, (8) cognitive irritation, (9) emotional irritation, and (10) inability to recover. First, we apply exploratory factor analysis to self-reported survey data from 357 employees to calibrate overcommitment items and to position overcommitment within the nomological net of work-related rumination constructs. Second, we leverage apply confirmatory factor analysis to self-reported survey data from 388 employees to provide a more specific test of uniqueness vs. overlap among these constructs. Third, we apply relative weight analysis to assess the unique criterion-related validity of each work-related rumination facet regarding (1) physical fatigue, (2) cognitive fatigue, (3) emotional fatigue, (4) burnout, (5) psychosomatic complaints, and (6) satisfaction with life. Our results suggest that several measures of work-related rumination (e.g., overcommitment and cognitive irritation) can be used interchangeably. Emotional irritation and affective rumination emerge as the strongest unique predictors of fatigue, burnout, psychosomatic complaints, and satisfaction with life. Our study is intended to assist researchers in making informed decisions on selecting scales for their research and paves the way for integrating research on the effort–reward imbalance and work-related rumination.

Sexuelle Belästigung am Arbeitsplatz ist ein tiefgreifendes Thema, welches den (Arbeits-)Alltag vieler Menschen massiv beeinträchtigt. Trotz vieler Studien und der juristischen Grundlage, die die Relevanz der Thematik hervorheben, findet es in Unternehmen und im öffentlichen Diskurs noch zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit. In der vorliegenden Studie wird deshalb untersucht, inwiefern das Allgemeine Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (AGG) Anwendung in der Praxis findet und was konkrete Verbesserungspotenziale von Unternehmen hinsichtlich des Umgangs mit sexueller Belästigung sind. Im Rahmen einer qualitativen Untersuchung werden Expert*inneninterviews geführt, die anschließend nach der Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring, in Form einer Zusammenfassung, ausgewertet werden. Der Themenschwerpunkt wird hierbei auf die subjektiven Erfahrungen der Befragten gelegt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit unterstreichen, dass es sich bei sexueller Belästigung nach wie vor um ein Tabuthema handelt, obwohl es nachweislich sowohl auf die Beschäftigten als auch auf das Unternehmen negative Auswirkungen hat. Da das AGG in den wenigsten Unternehmen Anwendung findet, wird es von einem Großteil der Arbeitnehmenden nicht als Schutz vor sexueller Belästigung wahrgenommen. Maßnahmen, die existieren sind entweder dysfunktional oder werden nicht ausreichend bekannt gemacht. Die Auswertung zeigt vor allem, dass Unternehmen in Zukunft ein Unternehmensklima etablieren müssen, in dem eine Nulltoleranz-Haltung gegenüber Diskriminierung herrscht. Ganzheitliche Präventions- und Interventionskonzepte sollten unter anderem die Schaffung von transparenten Anlaufstellen, klare Richtlinien und Konzepte zur präventiven Aufklärungsarbeit enthalten. Hierbei sollten vor allem marginalisierte Gruppen berücksichtigt werden. Wenn Unternehmen ihre im AGG festgehaltenen Pflichten in Zukunft wahrnehmen und entsprechende Maßnahmen ergreifen, kann eine Enttabuisierung des Themas angestoßen werden. Neben der Stärkung der Betroffenen, kann dies letztendlich zu einem Rückgang der Übergriffe führen.
Background: Since presenteeism is related to numerous negative health and work-related effects, measures are required to reduce it. There are initial indications that how an organization deals with health has a decisive influence on employees’ presenteeism behavior.
Aims: The concept of health-promoting collaboration was developed on the basis of these indications. As an extension of healthy leadership it includes not only the leader but also co-workers. In modern forms of collaboration, leaders cannot be assigned sole responsibility for employees’ health, since the leader is often hardly visible (digital leadership) or there is no longer a clear leader (shared leadership). The study examines the concept of health-promoting collaboration in relation to presenteeism. Relationships between health-promoting collaboration, well-being and work ability are also in focus, regarding presenteeism as a mediator.
Methods: The data comprise the findings of a quantitative survey of 308 employees at a German university of applied sciences. Correlation and mediator analyses were conducted.
Results: The results show a significant negative relationship between health-promoting collaboration and presenteeism. Significant positive relationships were found between health-promoting collaboration and both well-being and work ability. Presenteeism was identified as a mediator of these relationships.
Conclusion: The relevance of health-promoting collaboration in reducing presenteeism was demonstrated and various starting points for practice were proposed. Future studies should investigate further this newly developed concept in relation to presenteeism.
It is a euphemism to say that humans use tools. Humans possess a vast repertoire of tools they use every day. In fact, as language or bipedal locomotion, tool use is a hallmark of humans. Tool use has also been often viewed as an important step during evolution (van Schaik et al., 1999) or even as a marker of the evolution of human intelligence (Wynn, 1985). So a fundamental issue is, what are the cognitive and neural bases of human tool use? The present series of papers in this special topic represents the newest additions to that research topic.
The art of nudging
(2023)
Do simple and subtle changes in the living and study environment improve the eating behaviour of students in an educational setting? This dissertation provides a not-so-simple answer to this simple question based on the outcomes of four studies that explore the effects and design of artwork nudges (specifically the artwork of Alberto Giacometti) on the eating behaviour of students by applying different research designs. Study 1 explores the effects of a Giacometti-like nudge (a more contemporary version of the original nudge) regarding the dietary behaviour of high school students in a controlled setting. Study 2 applies different artwork nudges within a virtual vignette setting to measure their effects on virtual meal choices made. Also, the degree to which individuals were aware of the nudge’s presence is included as an influential factor in nudge effectiveness. Study 3 assesses the susceptibility to nudges as measured with a questionnaire. Susceptibility to nudges is defined as nudgeability. Study 4 assesses the effects of the original Giacometti nudge in a real-world university cafeteria setting. Specifically, the immediate and sustained effects of the original Giacometti nudge on students’ meal purchases in the university cafeteria are considered. In addition, the role of awareness of the nudge’s presence as well as the acceptance of this specific nudge are discussed. The conclusion is drawn that the original Giacometti nudge should only be applied in an educational setting to improve healthy eating behaviour if the intended target groups and environment meet certain conditions. Artwork nudges in general should be applied only after rigorous testing of various types of different nudges and more research reflecting healthy eating in its entirety.
In young adulthood, important foundations are laid for health later in life. Hence, more attention should be paid to the health measures concerning students. A research field that is relevant to health but hitherto somewhat neglected in the student context is the phenomenon of presenteeism. Presenteeism refers to working despite illness and is associated with negative health and work-related effects. The study attempts to bridge the research gap regarding students and examines the effects of and reasons for this behavior. The consequences of digital learning on presenteeism behavior are moreover considered. A student survey (N = 1036) and qualitative interviews (N = 11) were conducted. The results of the quantitative study show significant negative relationships between presenteeism and health status, well-being, and ability to study. An increased experience of stress and a low level of detachment as characteristics of digital learning also show significant relationships with presenteeism. The qualitative interviews highlighted the aspect of not wanting to miss anything as the most important reason for presenteeism. The results provide useful insights for developing countermeasures to be easily integrated into university life, such as establishing fixed learning partners or the use of additional digital learning material.

Die vergangene Forschung zeigte, dass Werte und Persönlichkeitseigenschaften von (potentiellen) Arbeitnehmern die wahrgenommene Attraktivität bestimmter Arbeitgebermerkmale wie der Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) beeinflussen. Weitere Forschung wird hingegen benötigt, um die in diesem Zusammenhang relevanten Persönlichkeitsmerkmale zu identifizieren. Diese Studie zielt darauf ab, die Werte und Persönlichkeitseigenschaften zu ermitteln, welche die unterschiedliche Attraktivität von CSR und weiteren Arbeitgebermerkmalen, die sich nicht auf die CSR beziehen, erklären können. Dazu bewerteten (potentielle) Arbeitnehmer (N = 145) auf zwei eigenentwickelten Skalen sowohl CSR-basierte Faktoren der Arbeitgeberattraktivität (z.B. Wassersparen) als auch Nicht-CSR-basierte Faktoren der Arbeitgeberattraktivität (z.B. erwünschte Unternehmenslage) hinsichtlich ihrer Wichtigkeit. Für die CSR-basierte Arbeitgeberattraktivität konnten unter Kontrolle der Big-Five hypothesenkonform die Wertedimension Selbst-Überwindung, die Persönlichkeitsdimension Communion und die prosoziale Persönlichkeit als Prädiktoren identifiziert werden. Die Wertedimensionen Selbst-Erhöhung und Selbst-Überwindung sowie die Persönlichkeitsdimensionen Agency und Communion leisten – ebenfalls über die Big-Five hinaus – einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur Vorhersage der Nicht-CSR-basierten Arbeitgeberattraktivität.
