To tackle this topic, we conducted thirteen interviews with Syrian refugees in Germany. Our findings reveal different ICT usages by refugees and how these contribute to feeling empowered. Moreover, we show the sources of empowerment for refugees that are gained by ICT use. Finally, we identified the two types of social inclusion benefits that were derived from empowerment sources.

Diese Arbeit untersucht ein Prozessmodell des Zusammenhangs von bed{\"u}rfnisbefriedigenden Arbeitsmerkmalen und psychologischem Wohlbefinden (Eud{\"a}monie) vermittelt {\"u}ber die Erlebnisvariablen Empowerment, affektives Commitment, Entfremdung und proaktives Verhalten. Dabei baut dieses auf einem Modell der Self-Determination Theory bei der Arbeit auf. An einer Gelegenheitsstichprobe von 172 Erwerbst{\"a}tigen aus dem westlichen Kulturkreis wurden Querschnittsdaten online erhoben und anhand hierarchischer Regressionen und dem PROCESS Makro ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen einen signifikanten, positiven Einfluss der Arbeitsmerkmale Autonomie und Ganzheitlichkeit auf psychologisches Wohlbefinden. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wurden die Annahmen {\"u}ber die Mediation dieser Einfl{\"u}sse {\"u}berwiegend gest{\"u}tzt. Hypothesenkonform wurde der Einfluss von Autonomie und Ganzheitlichkeit auf psychologisches Wohlbefinden seriell mediiert {\"u}ber folgende Pfade: (1) Autonomie und Ganzheitlichkeit f{\"u}hrten zu mehr Empowerment, nachfolgend zu weniger Entfremdung und schließlich zu h{\"o}herem psychologischem Wohlbefinden und (2) Autonomie und Ganzheitlichkeit f{\"u}hrten zu mehr Empowerment, nachfolgend zu mehr proaktivem Verhalten und schließlich zu h{\"o}herem psychologischem Wohlbefinden. Die ad-hoc Hypothese {\"u}ber die mediierende Rolle von affektivem Commitment wurde nicht best{\"a}tigt. Post-hoc Testungen von 3fach seriellen Mediationen wiesen jedoch auf einen schwachen indirekten Effekt von Autonomie und Ganzheitlichkeit auf psychologisches Wohlbefinden {\"u}ber Entfremdung, affektives Commitment und nachfolgend Entfremdung oder stattdessen proaktives Verhalten hin. Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Kl{\"a}rung der Rolle der Self-Determination Theory als arbeitspsychologisches Modell der Entstehungsprozesse von Wohlbefinden durch Arbeit und erweitert das Wissen um Antezedenzien und Konsequenzen der Konzepte Empowerment, affektives Commitment, Entfremdung und proaktives Verhalten sowie sie deren Erkl{\"a}rbarkeit durch die Self-Determination Theory unterstreicht. Schließlich werden aus den Ergebnissen ableitend verschiedene theoretische Implikationen diskutiert und Empfehlungen f{\"u}r die Gestaltung von Arbeit mit dem Ziel einer besseren, humanistischeren Gesellschaft formuliert.}, language = {de} } @article{KiaKeatingJuang2022, author = {Kia-Keating, Maryam and Juang, Linda P.}, title = {Participatory Science as a Decolonizing Methodology}, series = {Cultural diversity \& ethnic minority psychology : official journal of American Psychological Association Division 45}, volume = {28}, journal = {Cultural diversity \& ethnic minority psychology : official journal of American Psychological Association Division 45}, number = {3}, publisher = {American Psychological Association}, address = {Washington}, issn = {1099-9809}, doi = {10.1037/cdp0000514}, pages = {299 -- 305}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Public Significance Statement As we have entered an age of unprecedented mass displacement, global solutions are necessary. Participatory science offers an opportunity for a transformative shift toward equitable partnerships between researchers and communities toward innovation and may provide a key to unsolved problems, as well as tap into the possibilities for progress and growth. This special issue on participatory research with immigrant and refugee communities offers a roadmap for advancing the field of psychology. Objectives: The major global problems of our day, including mass displacement, climate change, violence, and pandemic, necessitate global solutions. In a world where injustice and inequities are rampant, psychologists stand at the precipice of social change and action, with an opportunity to unambiguously decolonize our research methodologies, and engage in scholarship that provides immediate benefits to communities. Method: Participatory methods offer an opportunity to co-create an empowering, equitable, inclusive, and ethical science in partnership with communities. Results: This special issue on Collaborative and Participatory Research to Promote Engagement, Empowerment, and Resilience for Immigrant and Refugee Youth, Families, and Communities highlights exemplary interdisciplinary work that has emerged in learning from and working in partnership with immigrant and refugee youth, families, and communities. Conclusions: The special issue offers six major components of participatory methodologies that provide a roadmap to decolonizing psychological science, recognize the potentials for innovation and impact, and advance the field.}, language = {en} }
