Striving for Impact: Sustainable HRM for the Common-Good, 14/15 March, online & free of charge

This conference hosted by the Institute for Human Resource Management, WU Vienna, Austria and the Louvain Research Institute in Management and Organizations (LouRIM) at UCLouvain, Belgium, focuses on the task of taking stock of the impact of Sustainable HRM theories and practices on the Common Good. Embedded in a background of multi-level crises (e.g. Covid-19, violent-conflict, inflation, climate-change, growing social inequalities), and growing threats to the commons (democratic freedom, human rights, ecological integrity), our call can be considered a response to an urgency for business and HRM to adopt a more societal role and to critically reflect on the impact of HR policies, strategies and practices on wider societal and ecological shared “Common-Good” interests. While scholarly concepts of and approaches to sustainable HRM are diverse (e.g. Aust et al., 2020), our aim of this conference is to offer an opportunity for international scholars to present and discuss how and when our research can have a real-life impact by making contributions to today’s sustainability challenges as framed through the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and beyond.

Schmalenbach-Tagung in Köln am 09. März 2023

Digitalisierung, Globalisierung und die Entwicklung Künstlicher Intelligenz eröffnen neue Chancen und Möglichkeiten in der Ausführung und Organisation von Arbeit. Hinzu kommen der demografische Wandel und die veränderten Anforderungen und Erwartungen der Mitarbeitenden. Unternehmen stehen vor enormen Herausforderungen in turbulenten Zeiten und reagieren mit Flexibilisierung, Qualifizierung und neuen Formen der Führung.

Wie wird die Arbeitswelt von morgen aussehen? Der Tradition der Schmalenbach-Gesellschaft entsprechend interessieren uns vor allem die betriebswirtschaftlichen Implikationen der neuen Entwicklungen.

CfP: Stress and Strain at Work – Concepts, Methods, and Results of Survey Research (Seminar& Special Issue)

Work-related stress can harm an individual’s health, well-being, and satisfaction and is a common problem (not only) in European countries (Aumayr-Pintar et al., 2015). It impacts the private sphere of life and can also have economic consequences for the employer through reduced work performance, lower productive output or employee absenteeism. Over the past seven decades, researchers have been engaged in the study of stress (Väänänen et al., 2012), and the interest and relevance continue to grow (Rigó et al., 2021).

Based on different theoretical conceptualisations, the measurements of stress (and strain) in industrial psychology, organisational sociology, or labour research (Abbas et al., 2013) are complex and situational. Individual diagnostic measurement tools are too large for population surveys. Consequently, these extensive surveys and panel studies apply short versions of stress measures (e. g., Siegrist et al., 2009). However, results from these population surveys are necessary to classify, compare and validate study results. In addition to the measures‘ brevity, the measurement type is also relevant. Studies indicate that the type of measurement can have a decisive impact on the results (Tobsch et al., 2018). This could be shown in a stress-theoretical measurement setting when testing the internationally used and valid effort-reward imbalance model (Siegrist, 2016). Therefore, there is a need to address theoretical concepts, the methodology of stress measures in extensive surveys and panel studies, as well as empirical findings from these surveys and studies such as the International Labor Office’s (ILOs) Decent Work Survey Program (Anker et al., 2002), Eurofound’s European Working Conditions Survey (Eurofound, 2022) or national survey such as the German Socio-Economic Panel (Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), 2021).

Seminar at the IUC Dubrovnik (15-20 May 2023) & Special Issue

Based on these brief reflections, the purpose of the seminar and the aim of the special issue of management revue – Socio-Economic Studies is to focus on the diverse theoretical models, measures and concepts of stress applied in surveys and panel studies, and investigate and discuss findings from these surveys and studies in the context of the mentioned methodological challenges:

  • Which stress concepts are implemented in surveys? How are these stress concepts adapted to meet the standards of survey methodology?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of having different (and competing) measures?
  • Which surveys and panel studies are suitable for stress measurements?
  • What variables and concepts are needed in surveys and panel studies besides stress measures?
  • How do the findings from different surveys differ?
  • These are just some ideas and not an exhaustive list. The seminar welcomes empirical studies and theoretical papers and provides sufficient time for discussion and reflection.

Course Directors & Guest Editors

  • Wenzel Matiaske, Helmut-Schmidt-University/University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg (Germany)
  • Mandy Müller, Helmut-Schmidt-University/University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg (Germany)
  • Simon Jebsen, University of Southern Denmark

Deadline for abstract submission for the seminar: 28 February 2023.
Deadline for submission of the full paper for the Special Issue: 30 August 2023.
Publication date: Issue 2/2024

Die Veranstalter des Workshops laden deshalb alle Interessierten ein, mit ihnen online zu diskutieren. Diese Einladung geht parallel an Praktiker aus einem PA-Netzwerk, sodass im Workshop gemeinsam mit der Praxis die folgenden Schwerpunkte angegangen werden können:

  1. Wie sollten PA-Projekte gestaltet werden, damit die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis gelingt?
  2. PA in der Lehre
  3. Weitere Ideen für Kollaborationen zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis im Bereich PA

Bei Interesse können Sie gerne teilnehmen:
Termin: 11. Januar 2023, von 17.00 bis 18.00 Uhr

3rd PhD Day in Management on 30 November 2022 (online & free)

Collecting Data in Research Projects
The challenges of Ph.D. students inspired a group of friends and colleagues at the TechTalent-Lab and the Department of Management of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya·BarcelonaTech to organize a series of „Ph.D. day in Management“ regarding research topics. Thus, these events aim to support Ph.D. students by providing them training, advice, and expertise from top scholars. It is the perfect opportunity to learn from experts and present your research while discussing your doubts. It has been designed to increase Ph.D. candidates‘ effectiveness and meet the challenges of early-career researchers.

This year’s third edition will focus on the interdisciplinary research methods for collecting data, a process that all PhD candidates and researchers have to face in their research projects. Among the five primary methods for collecting data, the seminars will focus on the most common ones in management and related fields: Interviews and Questionnaires (surveys). Besides, the round table will focus on how we can collect and use data from social media networks, such as Twitter and Linkedin, in our research projects. Some of the questions we will discuss with experts in the field are: What differs the face-to-face and online interviews? How to design an interview protocol? How to face a difficult interview? How to design or translate a survey? Which are the most common mistakes when we analyse data from surveys? How can we use data from social media networks? Which is the credibility of the data from these networks? and, What kind of software can we use for collecting data?

The event will be hosted on Zoom. The registration is open and accessible for all Ph.D. students in the research field of Management and related fields. Feel free to share this information!

Deadline for free registration for presenters: 9 November 2022.
In case you are selected to do a presentation:
Assignment of the slot for your presentation: 16 November 2022.
Deadline for sending the document you are going to present: 23 November 2022.

Maximum of 50 participants.
