Termin:
wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C HS 3

Inhalt: The module Quantitative Research Methods deals with the theoretical and practical background necessary to understand and conduct quantitative research in business and organizational behavior. Specifically, the course deals with quantitative research designs, data collection and quantitative measurement, and deductive hypothesis testing.

Inhalt: The module Quantitative Research Methods deals with the theoretical background and statistical analyses necessary to understand quantitative approaches in management, organizational behavior, and entrepreneurship research. Specifically, the course deals with measurement and statistical analysis of numerical data, including deductive hypothesis testing, modeling linear relationships, and multivariate analysis. This course has the following aims: 1) It will help students to grasp the importance of quantitative methods in management, organizational behavior, and entrepreneurship. 2) It will give students the opportunity to understand the links between the statistical background and its practical implementation. 3) It will offer students the possibility to acquire basic knowledge in statistical analysis 4) It will provide students with the opportunity to design and implement quantitative research methods LECTURE CONTENT --- Building a Quantitative Research Model: Theory utilization and research models (“conceptualization”), quantitative research designs ("procedure"), and variable measurement (“operationalization”) Analyzing a Quantitative Research Model: Linear Models including moderation, mediation and their combination Research Ethics and Open Science Understanding and Evaluating Quantitative Research Papers --- EXERCISES Apply the concepts from the lecture to real-world research models, data, and publications.

Work and Organizational Psychology in International and Intercultural Contexts (Vorlesung/Seminar)

Dozent/in: Laura Venz

Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 14:15 - 15:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 12.001 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Recent research in work and organizational psychology and organizational behavior with a focus on international and intercultural issues is discussed. Example topics that will be addressed include ethnic diversity, immigration, and racism in the workplace, as well as corporate social responsibility, and organizational sustainability. Dimensions of national culture (Hofstede’s 6-D Model, GLOBE project) are introduced. Based on this, the course will deal with empirical findings on the role of (national) culture in work and organizational psychology phenomena (e.g., work motivation, work values, work performance, leadership, and teamwork). The course will deal with psychological processes on the intra- and interindividual level (e.g., diversity, trust, cooperation, conflict, equity). Students will reflect on their acquired theoretical and empirical knowledge based on practical exercises (e.g., from cross-cultural, from improv, and from diversity trainings). In addition, the role of other contextual factors (e.g., organizational culture) will be discussed. The course provides knowledge on both the individual and the managerial perspective on the issues discussed. Students will reflect on current directions in international work and organizational psychology research with a focus on empirical studies conducted in different parts of the world. These empirical studies will be linked to current reports on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the media. Similarly, students will reflect on issues around globalization and deglobalization, corporate social responsibility, and organizational sustainability, introducing a managerial perspective on work and organizational psychology in international and intercultural contexts. In sum, the course will reflect on specific characteristics of work, management, and organizations on the international and intercultural level, will discuss recent directions of work and organizational psychology research particularly with a focus on international and intercultural studies and topics, and will provide exercises for the students to reflect upon their own intercultural experiences.

Research Forum Psychology (Kolloquium)

Dozent/in: Laura Venz

Inhalt: *** This course is for the entire Psychology Doctoral Research Group *** Please enroll in this course if you are part of the Psychology Doctoral Research Group, regardless of whether you plan to actively participate in a research forum this semester. We will have: * a research group kick-off session (Tue, 14.04.2026, 16:15, C 6.316 / hybrid) * a general semester kick-off session (Fri, 24.04.2026, 16:00, C HS 3 / hybrid) * biweekly research forum meetings (Tue, 28.04., 12.05., 26.05., 09.06., 23.06., 07.07., 16:15, C 6.316 / hybrid) * the doctoral research conference day (organized at the School of Management and Technology, Fri, 10.07.2026) In the biweekly research forum meetings, you can present research that is at a preliminary stage. The purpose of these presentations is to help you improve your research project. Therefore, please prepare a presentation of a maximum of 10 minutes and conclude by asking questions and raising issues that help you advance your project. Consider the other participants as a resource to improve your work. During the Doctoral Conference Day at the end of the semester, you can present research that is at a more advanced stage. Typically, you give a presentation of a maximum of 15 minutes, including all parts of a paper. The Doctoral Conference Day will take place in person on campus.

Quantitative Research Methods (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Laura Venz

Inhalt: Quantitative research is a research strategy that focuses on the systematic collection and analysis of numerical data to test theories, examine relationships between variables, and draw generalizable conclusions. It is typically grounded in a deductive logic, where hypotheses are derived from theory and empirically tested using structured and standardized procedures. At its core, quantitative research aims to ensure objectivity, reliability, and validity in the investigation of socio-economic, psychological, and related phenomena. Beyond statistical analysis, quantitative research fundamentally relies on the rigorous design of data collection processes. This includes the careful operationalization of constructs, the development or selection of measurement instruments, and the planning and implementation of studies in both laboratory and field settings. High-quality quantitative research therefore depends not only on statistical-analytical techniques but also on the quality and integrity of the data generation process. This course focuses on the latter. The course starts with a (hybrid) kick-off session in which participants’ needs, expectations, and research interests are discussed. Based on this session, specific topics in quantitative research methodology are identified and assigned. Participants will then work individually or in pairs to prepare and lead a 60-minute session on their topic during the three-day block seminar in July. All sessions are expected to be grounded in current scientific literature. The course addresses the quantitative research process, key aspects of research design (including experimental, quasi-experimental, and observational approaches), as well as the strengths and limitations of these designs. It further covers practical challenges in data collection (e.g., data quality) and common challenges of quantitative research, such as issues of measurement validity, sampling biases, and causal inference. In addition, principles of good scientific practice and research ethics are discussed, including transparency, reproducibility, and responsible data handling. The focus is on developing a deeper understanding of how high-quality quantitative data are generated in both laboratory and field contexts. A distinctive feature of the course is its interactive and student-driven format: following the kick-off session, participants develop and lead their own sessions on selected topics, which are discussed collectively during the block seminar. The course is designed for doctoral students and advanced master’s students with a strong interest in quantitative research. Initiative, creativity, and critical thinking are expected and encouraged. The course aims to support participants in advancing their own research projects by strengthening their methodological competence in quantitative research.
