Although workplace climate has been already extensively studied, the research has not led to firm conclusions regarding leadership trainings referring to the awareness of psychological safety in a company and its influence on existing teams and the general work climate. The author used the already existing model of Carr, Schmidt, Ford, & DeShon (2003) and adjusted it with psychological safety as 4th climate item to develop hypothesen which can also be seen as a path analytic model. The model posied that climate affects individual level outcomes through its impact on cognitive and affective states. Therefore, the author wants to show the correlation between the 4 higher order facets of climate affect the individual levels of job performance, psychological well-being and withdrawal through their impact on orangizational commitment and job saitsfaction (Carr, Schmidt, Ford, & DeShon, 2003).
In the current international business environment employees are spending large amounts of their time in meetings. More than ever these meetings take place remotely and often have the problem that individuals in the meeting do not share information or opinions. Employees often stay in muted in meetings and allow one or two participants to drive the conversation. This habit is especially troublesome for problem solving meetings. Problem solving meetings invite individuals from different disciplines to share and brainstorm possible causes for issues related to poor company outcomes. Active and open contribution from all members is required to achieve the group goals. This study aims to find methods that will increase contribution amongst meeting participants in regular meetings as well as problem solving meetings. The study tested sixteen topics for their influence on contribution in meetings. This was done in a survey, that was distributed within a multination engineering corporation, and on LinkedIn. There was a total of 68 responses. These responses were then separated by above average and below average participation in problem solving meetings. Hypothesis testing was done on the total group and separately on the problem-solving group. Employee participation in decision making and psychological safety were found to correlate highly with Contribution in meetings for both groups. Psychological safety was found to be of even greater importance to problem solving group. This study demonstrates that to increase contribution in meetings, leaders should provide a psychologically safe climate where employees share in the decision making. Furthermore, a psychologically safe environment is critical in problem solving meetings where members of different disciplines with low familiarity take part.
Fear of failure is a major factor influencing entrepreneurial actions. Since the female quota for startups and self-employment is still lower than for men, the aim is to determine the extent to which the fear of failure is incorporated into the entrepreneurial actions of women in Austria. The trailblazer and pioneer in female entrepreneurship America is used as an international benchmark for evaluation. A quantitative survey was conducted among women from Austria and America on their fears of failure related to self-employment and their aspirations to become self-employed. There were significant differences in the quantitative study between self-employed and non-self-employed women, irrespective of their country of origin. As a result, recommendations for action were created to reduce the influence of Fear of Failure on entrepreneurial actions of Austrian women.
Die Masterarbeit befasst sich mit der Thematik von Jugend und Adoleszenz im Zusammenhang mit möglichen Schwierigkeiten innerhalb der Identitätsentwicklung und wie diese gelöst werden können. Die Identitätsbildungsprozesse im Jugendalter sollen im Theorieteil dieser Arbeit in Bezug auf Bildungsinstitutionen aufgezeigt und kritisch reflektiert werden. Anschließend wird im Praxisteil ein Toolkit zur Unterstützung der Identitätsentwicklung ausgearbeitet werden, welches Jugendlichen zur Reflexion anregen und bei der Erreichung von Zielen Unterstützung bieten soll.
Musik im Alltag
(2020)
Musikschülerinnen und Musikschüler finden besonders im Alter von 9 bis 15 Jahren in ihrem Alltag oft keine Zeit, um sich mit ihrem Musikinstrument zu beschäftigen. Dadurch bleibt ihr Spielniveau auf der Stelle und sie verspüren keinen Lernfortschritt, wodurch ihnen langfristig auch die Freude am Musizieren vergeht. Durch den fehlenden Lernfortschritt wiederholt sich auch der wöchentliche Musikunterricht und wirkt auf Dauer eintönig und langweilig. Statistisch gesehen kommt es am häufigsten im Alter von entweder 11 oder 14 Jahren zu einer Abmeldung vom Musikschulunterricht aus Mangel an Zeit und Interesse.
Um den Kindern die Freude am Musizieren zurückzugeben, wurde eine Herangehensweise entwickelt, in der die Kinder ein eigenes Ziel definieren und dieses mithilfe eines Coachinggesprächs in kleinere Aufgaben unterteilen. Ein auditives Benachrichtigungssystem unterstützt die Kinder dabei, im Alltag den passenden Zeitpunkt für diese musikalischen Aufgaben zu finden, damit sie sowohl einen Lernerfolg verspüren als auch Spaß mit dem eigenen Instrument haben.
In dieser Arbeit werden die Anforderungen an ein auditives Benachrichtigungssystem analysiert und der unterschiedliche Einfluss von zeit und kontextbasierten Benachrichtigungen durch Nutzertests eruiert.
