Empirical Research Project - A question of time: Working time issues, work stress, and recovery (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Laura Venz

Termin:
wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 10:15 - 11:45 | 16.10.2023 - 02.02.2024 | C 1.005 Seminarraum

Inhalt: The course "Empirical Research Project - Work and Non-Work Time" will enable students to experience all steps of a research process in applied psychology research, addressing a research question within the topic "A question of time: Working time issues, work stress, and recovery". Topic: Working time is a hot topic: New laws force organisations to track their employees' working time, the EU discusses a right for non-availability during non-work time, the idea of a 4-day-work-week is hotly debated, and the COVID-19 pandemic brought a huge shift in working time flexibility initiatives. In this empirical research project seminar, we will examine research questions centering around questions regarding working time and their relation to job attitudes, well-being, and performance. Different, self-chosen research questions can be addressed within this empirical research project, such as the effects of supplemental work during non-work time on employees' well-being, job stress recovery, and performance; or the effects of idle time at work. Course: This course consists of the following 10 parts: (1) discussing relevant literature of work psychology and organizational behavior research, (2) identifying a research question, (3) deriving hypotheses, (4) getting to know research designs in applied work psychology, (5) applying an experience sampling design, (6) implementing and conducting an empirical research project using the experience sampling method, (7) collecting field data, (8) analysing the data using SPSS or R, (9) evaluating the results, and (10) presenting the findings.

The course is open for those students who write their master's thesis in a field of psychology (e.g., work psychology, organizational psychology, occupational health psychology, business psychology, social psychology, marketing), organizational behavior, or (human resource) management and follow a quantitative empirical research design. You will learn how to construct quantitative research in psychology and management-related fields and how to craft an excellent thesis that is theoretically sound and has methodological rigor.

Termin:
wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 08:15 - 09:45 | 25.10.2023 - 24.01.2024 | C 14.102 a Seminarraum

Inhalt: This seminar focuses on inter- and transdisciplinary competencies for the future of work - Future Skills. Beyond the boundaries of one's discipline, changes, requirements, and consequences of constant change are critically discussed from a psychological perspective. Students will contribute their individual and disciplinary viewpoints to jointly build an understanding of what the future holds. Overall, this seminar engages students to actively reflect on and apply future skills within their specific fields and engage in interdisciplinary perspectives. Future skills encompass the essential competencies required to thrive in dynamic work environments. By considering their future work domains, students will engage in various reflections to understand the relevance of future skills, how they can be applied to their personal learning and development processes, to discuss the chances and limits of artificial intelligence (AI) and its ethical aspects. Students will explore how these skills intersect with emerging trends, technological advancements, and societal changes, enabling them to navigate and contribute meaningfully to their respective fields. The accompanying reflective format will provide students with opportunities to assess their skill sets, strengths, and areas for improvement. They will also be encouraged to consider their future professional aspirations and how future skills can be transferred and integrated into their learning and development processes.
