Diese große Lücke kann nicht mehr allein durch Lehrkräfte abge-deckt werden, die ein traditionelles Lehramtsstudium absolviert haben. Als Antwort auf den Lehrkräftemangel werden in Schulen in Deutschland daher vermehrt Personen ohne traditio-nelles Lehramtsstudium eingestellt, um die Unterrichtsversorgung zu gewährleisten (KMK, 2022). Nicht-traditionell ausgebildete Lehrkräfte durchlaufen vor ihrer Einstellung in den Schuldienst in der Regel ein alternatives Qualifizierungsprogramm. Diese Qualifizierungs-programme sind jedoch in ihrer zeitlichen und inhaltlichen Ausgestaltung sehr heterogen und setzen unterschiedliche Eingangsvoraussetzungen der Bewerber:innen voraus (Driesner & Arndt, 2020). Sie sind in der Regel jedoch deutlich kürzer als traditionelle Lehramtsstudien-gänge an Hochschulen und Universitäten, um einen schnellen Einstieg in den Schuldienst zu gewährleisten. Die kürzere Qualifizierung geht damit mit einer geringeren Anzahl an Lern- und Lehrgelegenheiten einher, wie sie in einem traditionellen Lehramtsstudium zu finden wäre. Infolgedessen kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass nicht-traditionell ausgebildete Lehrkräfte weniger gut auf die Anforderungen des Lehrberufs vorbereitet sind. Diese Annahme wird auch oft in der Öffentlichkeit vertreten und die Kritik an alternati-ven Qualifizierungsprogrammen ist groß. So äußerte sich beispielsweise der Präsident des Deutschen Lehrerverbandes, Heinz-Peter Meidinger, im Jahr 2019 gegenüber der Zeitung „Die Welt“, dass die unzureichende Qualifizierung von Quereinsteiger:innen „ein Verbre-chen an den Kindern“ sei (Die Welt, 2019). Die Forschung im deutschsprachigen Raum, die in der Läge wäre, belastbare Befunde für die Unterstützung dieser Kritik liefern zu können, steht jedoch noch am Anfang. Erste Arbeiten weisen generell auf wenige Unterschiede zwi-schen traditionell und nicht-traditionell ausgebildeten Lehrkräften hin (Kleickmann & An-ders, 2011; Kunina-Habenicht et al., 2013; Oettinghaus, Lamprecht & Korneck, 2014). Ar-beiten, die Unterschiede finden, zeigen diese vor allem im Bereich des pädagogischen Wis-sens zuungunsten der nicht-traditionell ausgebildeten Lehrkräfte. Die Frage nach weiteren Unterschieden, beispielsweise in der Unterrichtsqualität oder im beruflichen Wohlbefinden, ist bislang jedoch für den deutschen Kontext nicht beantwortet worden. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat zum Ziel, einen Teil dieser Forschungslücken zu schließen. Sie bearbeitet in diesem Zusammenhang im Rahmen von drei Teilstudien die Fragen nach Unterschieden zwischen traditionell und nicht-traditionell ausgebildeten Lehrkräften hin-sichtlich ihrer professionellen Kompetenz, Berufswahlmotivation, Wohlbefinden und Unter-richtsqualität. Die übergeordnete Fragestellung wird vor dem Hintergrund des theoretischen Modells zu den Determinanten und Konsequenzen der professionellen Kompetenz (Kunter, Kleickmann, Klusmann & Richter, 2011) bearbeitet. Dieses Modell wird auch für die theore-tische Aufarbeitung der bereits bestehenden nationalen und internationalen Forschungsarbei-ten zu Unterschieden zwischen traditionell und nicht-traditionell ausgebildeten Lehrkräften herangezogen. Teilstudie I untersucht zunächst Unterschiede in der professionellen Kompetenz zwi-schen traditionell und nicht-traditionell ausgebildeten Lehrkräften. Nach dem Kompetenz-modell nach Baumert und Kunter (2006) werden die beiden Gruppen in den vier Aspekten professioneller Kompetenz – Professionswissen, Überzeugungen, motivationale Orientierun-gen und selbstregulative Fähigkeiten – verglichen. Im Fokus dieser Arbeit stehen traditionell ausgebildete Lehramtsanwärter:innen und die sogenannten Quereinsteiger:innen während des Vorbereitungsdiensts. Mittels multivariater Kovarianzanalysen wurde eine Sekundärdaten-analyse des Projekts COACTIV-R durchgeführt und Unterschiede analysiert. Teilstudie II beleuchtet sowohl Determinanten als auch Konsequenzen professioneller Kompetenz. Auf Seiten der Determinanten werden Unterschiede in der Berufswahlmotivati-on zwischen Lehrkräften mit und ohne traditionellem Lehramtsstudium untersucht. Ferner erfolgt die Analyse von Unterschieden im beruflichen Wohlbefinden (emotionale Erschöp-fung, Enthusiasmus) und die Intention, im Beruf zu verbleiben, als Konsequenz professionel-ler Kompetenz. Es erfolgte eine Analyse der Daten aus der Pilotierungsstudie aus dem Jahr 2019 für den Bildungstrend des Instituts für Qualitätsentwicklung im Bildungswesen (IQB). Unterschiede zwischen traditionell und nicht-traditionell ausgebildeten Lehrkräften wurden erneut mittels multivariater Kovarianzanalysen berechnet. Abschließend erfolgte in Teilstudie III die Untersuchung von Unterschieden in der Un-terrichtsqualität zwischen traditionell und nicht-traditionell ausgebildeten Lehrkräften als Konsequenz professioneller Kompetenz. Hierzu wurden Daten des IQB-Bildungstrends 2018 im Rahmen einer Sekundäranalyse mithilfe doppelt-latenter Mehrebenenanalysen genutzt. Es wurden die Unterschiede in den Bereichen Abwesenheit von Störungen, kognitive Akti-vierung und Schüler:innenunterstützung betrachtet. Im finalen Kapitel der vorliegenden Arbeiten werden die zentralen Befunde der drei Teilstudien zusammengefasst und diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass sich traditionell und nicht-traditionell ausgebildete Lehrkräfte nur in wenigen der untersuchten Aspekte signifikant voneinander unterscheiden. Nicht-traditionell ausgebildete Lehrkräfte verfügen über weniger pädagogisches Wissen, haben bessere selbstregulative Fähigkeiten und unterscheiden sich nicht in ihren Berufswahlmotiven, ihrem Wohlbefinden und in der Unterrichtsqualität von traditionell ausgebildeten Lehrkräften. Die Ergebnisse öffnen die Tür für die Diskussion der Relevanz des traditionellen Lehramtsstudiums, bieten eine Grundlage bzgl. der Implikationen für weiterführende Forschungsarbeiten und die Bildungspolitik. Die Arbeiten werden abschließend hinsichtlich ihrer Grenzen bewertet. N2 - According to the latest prognosis by Klemm (2022), Germany will have a shortage of around 127,000 teachers by 2035. This large gap can no longer be covered by teachers who have completed a traditional teacher training program. In response to the shortage of teachers, schools in Germany are increasingly hiring individuals without a traditional teaching degree (KMK, 2022). Non-traditionally trained teachers usually undergo an alternative qualification program before being hired into the teaching profession. However, these qualification programs are very heterogeneous in terms of time and content and require different entry requirements of the applicants (Driesner & Arndt, 2020). However, they are usually much shorter than traditional teacher training programs at universities to ensure a quick entry into the teaching profession. The shorter qualification is thus accompanied by fewer learning and teaching opportunities that would be found in a traditional teacher training program. As a result, alternatively certified teachers can be expected to be less well prepared for the demands of the teaching profession. This assumption is also often held in public, and criticism of alternative qualification programs is high. For example, the president of the German Teachers' Association, Heinz-Peter Meidinger, told the newspaper Die Welt in 2019 that the inadequate qualification of alternatively certified teachers is "a crime against children" (Die Welt, 2019). However, research in German-speaking countries that would be able to provide robust findings to support this criticism is still in its infancy. Initial work generally indicates few differences between traditionally and alternatively certified teachers (Kleickmann & Anders, 2011; Kunina-Habenicht et al., 2013; Oettinghaus, Lamprecht & Korneck, 2014). Papers that find differences show them primarily in pedagogical knowledge to the disadvantage of alternatively certified teachers. However, the question of other differences, for example in the quality of teaching or in professional well-being, has not yet been answered for the German context. The present study aims to fill part of these research gaps. In this context, it addresses the questions of differences between traditionally and alternatively certified teachers regarding their professional competence, career choice motivation, well-being, and teaching quality within the framework of three studies. The overarching question will be addressed in light of the theoretical model on the determinants and consequences of professional competence (Kunter, Kleickmann, Klusmann & Richter, 2011). This model will also be used to theoretically review existing national and international research on differences between traditionally and alternatively certified teachers. In study 1, the differences in professional competence between traditionally and alternatively certified teachers in the induction phase were investigated. According to Baumert and Kunter (2006), teachers' professional competence is composed of four aspects: professional knowledge, beliefs, motivational orientations, and self-regulatory skills, which were examined in study 1. Using multivariate analysis of covariance, the differences between the two groups in professional competence were considered. For professional knowledge, it was found that both groups did not differ in content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge in mathematics, i.e., they had comparable knowledge. On the other hand, the alternatively certified teachers scored significantly lower in the test of pedagogical-psychological knowledge than the traditionally certified teacher candidates. Regarding the subtests used for pedagogical-psychological knowledge, it was shown that the knowledge of teaching methods is particularly less pronounced among the alternatively certified teachers. Furthermore, there is a statistically non-significant difference in knowledge about classroom management between the groups, with alternatively certified teachers having descriptively less knowledge in this area. With regard to the differences between alternatively certified and traditionally certified teacher candidates in learning-teaching-related beliefs, no significant differences emerge. Both groups report comparable transmissive and constructivist beliefs in mathematics. Study 2 examined whether traditionally and alternatively certified teachers differed in their career choice motivation, well-being, and career retention intentions. Data from traditionally and alternatively certified teachers were compared using multivariate analysis of covariance. Results indicate that both groups of teachers entered the profession because of high intrinsic and altruistic motivation. No differences are shown in six of the eight career choice motives recorded (prior learning and teaching experience, assessed teaching ability, intrinsic motivation, job security, helping to shape the future of children and youth, making a social contribution). Significant differences emerge, however, in two extrinsically motivated career choice motives. Alternatively certified teachers are significantly more likely than traditionally certified teachers to choose the profession due to social influences (e.g., friends, family, colleagues) and due to the compatibility of family and career. It should be added that these two extrinsically motivated career choice motives were perceived by traditionally and alternatively certified teachers as least relevant to their career decision. In terms of career well-being, study 2 looked at emotional exhaustion and enthusiasm for teaching. Results indicated that the two groups differed significantly in enthusiasm for teaching, nonetheless both groups reported high levels of enthusiasm. Alternatively certified teachers in study 2 reported significantly higher enthusiasm than traditionally certified teachers. The difference in emotional exhaustion is just above the significance threshold and therefore the two groups do not differ. Descriptively, however, non-alternatively certified teachers report lower emotional exhaustion. Study 2 continued to examine whether traditionally and alternatively certified teachers differ in their intentions to remain in the profession. Results indicate that both groups report high intentions to remain in the profession, with no differences between groups. However, differences within and between groups again emerge as a function of career entry age. Finally, study 3 investigated whether traditionally and alternatively certified teachers differ in the quality of teaching as assessed by students. Following Klieme et al. (2009), students were asked about the three basic dimensions of teaching quality: classroom management, cognitive activation, and student support. Double-latent multilevel analyses were conducted to investigate the research question. The analyses without including the control variables showed that the teaching quality of traditionally and alternatively certified teachers did not differ in either student orientation or cognitive activation. On the other hand, students taught by traditionally trained teachers reported significantly less disruption in class than students taught by alternatively certified teachers. However, this difference was no longer evident when student variables and teacher variables were included at the individual and learning group levels. Furthermore, study 3 examined whether differences between traditionally and alternatively certified teachers differed based on their job experience. To do this, the two groups were each divided into teachers with little job experience (three or fewer years of job experience) and experienced teachers (more than three years of job experience). No significant differences were found between the less experienced traditionally and alternatively certified teachers in classroom management and cognitive activation. On the other hand, students of less experienced traditionally certified teachers reported higher student orientation than less experienced alternatively certified teachers and experienced traditionally certified teachers. Students of experienced traditionally certified teachers reported less classroom disruption than students of less experienced traditionally and alternatively certified teachers. The findings of the individual studies provide the basis for the discussion of various points, such as (a) the discussion of the importance of the traditional teacher training, (b) the importance of job experience, and (c) the possible favorable entry requirements associated with a change of profession. Furthermore, results of the present work are considered to what extent they offer indications (d) for the further development of alternative qualification programs offers for teachers. A major strength of the three studies of this dissertation is that different data sources were used. Thus, in addition to teacher surveys, student surveys and competency tests were used on both the teacher and student sides to answer the questions. Thus, data from standardized tests are available in addition to self-assessments, and different perspectives were included. Future studies could further expand the multi-perspective approach and thus, for example, increasingly include mentors, colleagues, school administrators, or even supervisors in the studies. For example, objective assessments of the competence, teaching quality, or socialization in the college of alternatively certified teachers could be collected. The different perspectives can assist in better understanding existing or non-existing differences between traditionally and alternatively certified teachers, and thus in better intervening. Likewise, the representativeness of the data sets in each study and the large number of teachers interviewed in studies 2 and 3 is a strength of the research. One strength of study 1 is that it focused on alternatively certified teachers in the induction phase and thus on a very specific group of alternatively certified teachers. This made it possible to derive concrete statements about differences between alternatively certified and traditionally certified teacher candidates in the induction phase. It could be shown that alternatively certified teachers only had disadvantages in pedagogical-psychological knowledge compared to traditionally certified teacher candidates. The implication for practice from this result is that alternatively certified teachers in the induction phase need more additional offers in the area of pedagogical-psychological knowledge, for example in the area of teaching methods and classroom management. Study 1 and study 2 are further distinguished by the strength that different aspects of a model were studied together in one sample. This allowed for a comprehensive picture of the prerequisites of alternatively certified teachers compared to traditionally certified teachers. For example, in study 1, all four aspects of professional competence (professional knowledge, beliefs, motivational orientations, and self-regulatory skills) were considered together in one model. In study 2, a joint examination of determinants - career choice motivation - and consequences - well-being and career retention - of professional competence was conducted. In study 3, the differences in teaching quality between traditionally and alternatively certified teachers were examined for the first time using a multi-level model. Previous studies have rarely considered the significance of the different levels (classroom level and individual level) in their investigations. Furthermore, study 3 had the distinction of focusing on the interaction between qualification (traditional vs. non-traditional) and work experience. This provided a more detailed insight into possible differences between the two groups. Despite these strengths, the studies also have limitations, which are described and discussed below. A central limitation, which applies separately to studies 2 and 3, is that no information was available on the qualifications of alternatively certified teachers. Thus, only teachers with and without traditional teacher training could be compared - a further differentiation of the qualification, for example, into alternatively certified teachers with (Quereinsteiger:innen) and without (Seiteneinsteiger:innen) the induction phase, was not possible. Against this background, the results should not be applied to all groups of alternatively certified teachers without considering this context. Against this background, future work should collect more detailed information on the qualification of teachers in order to be able to consider the individual groups of alternatively certified teachers separately from each other. A second limitation relates to the selectivity of the sample and the age of the data from study 1. With regard to the selectivity of the sample, it should be noted that in each of the individual studies, teachers were surveyed in selected subjects. In studies 1 and 3, for example, the focus was on mathematics and in study 2 on English and German. The extent to which the results also apply to teachers of other subjects cannot be answered with the help of the available studies. A replication of the studies for other subjects is desirable. Furthermore, the results from study 1 should also be considered against the background of the age of the data. The data from study 1 were collected in 2007 and re-evaluated in study 1 within the framework of secondary analyses. The extent to which the results also apply to the current group of alternatively certified teachers should be examined in future analyses. Another limitation that applies to study 2 is the survey of the planned occupational fate in the form of self-reports. Although studies indicate a moderate correlation of planned career retention and actual career retention (Cho & Lewis, 2012; Sun & Wang, 2017), it remains unclear how long teachers surveyed will actually remain in the profession and, prior to the survey, how many teachers have already left the profession. To address this limitation, future studies should use statistical data from school administrators and policies to examine the longitudinal attitudes and exits of alternatively certified teachers. Desirable here would be individual-level data on teachers and also information on whether the teacher changed schools or left the profession entirely. Future studies should also focus on the longitudinal development of differences, e.g., in professional competence, well-being, and teaching quality between traditionally and alternatively certified teachers. For example, the question arises whether and when alternatively certified teachers have comparable pedagogical-psychological knowledge as traditionally certified teachers. Furthermore, studies of teaching quality should ask how long teachers have taught in the learning group surveyed in order to control for possible effects of previous teachers. Along with this, future studies similar to study 3 should also consider prior knowledge or even beliefs of the teachers. For example, it can be assumed that alternatively certified d teachers bring different initial conditions in the area of knowledge and beliefs due to their different qualifications. However, these initial conditions could be relevant for explaining the existing or non-existing differences compared to traditionally certified teachers. The present study examined differences between traditionally and alternatively certified teachers in terms of professional competence, career choice motivation, well-being, planned career retention, and teaching quality. It was expected that traditionally certified teachers would have advantages over alternatively certified teachers due to the use of learning opportunities in the teacher education program. Contrary to expectation, this assumption was true only for selected aspects, e.g., pedagogical-psychological knowledge. Possible explanations for the few existing differences were presented and discussed. Thus, the results of this work allow for a more profound discussion about the significance of learning opportunities in teacher education and the job experience. Furthermore, the work provides evidence for the further development of teacher education programs and qualification measures for alternatively certified teachers.

Research has already shown that SC has beneficial effects on affective well-being and other mental health outcomes. However, little is known in which ways SC might facilitate our affective well-being in stressful situations. Hence, a central concern of this dissertation was to focus on the question which underlying processes might influence the link between SC and affective well-being. Two established components in stress processing, which might also play an important role in this context, could be the amount of experienced stress and the way of coping with a stressor. Thus, using a multi-method approach, this dissertation aimed at finding to which extent SC might help to alleviate the experienced stress and promotes the use of more salutary coping, while dealing with stressful circumstances. These processes might ultimately help improve one’s affective well-being. Derived from that, it was hypothesized that more SC is linked to less perceived stress and intensified use of salutary coping responses. Additionally, it was suggested that perceived stress and coping mediate the relation between SC and affective well-being. Method: The research questions were targeted in three single studies and one meta-study. To test my assumptions about the relations of SC and coping in particular, a systematic literature search was conducted resulting in k = 136 samples with an overall sample size of N = 38,913. To integrate the z-transformed Pearson correlation coefficients, random-effects models were calculated. All hypotheses were tested with a three-wave cross-lagged design in two short-term longitudinal online studies assessing SC, perceived stress and coping responses in all waves. The first study explored the assumptions in a student sample (N = 684) with a mean age of 27.91 years over a six-week period, whereas the measurements were implemented in the GESIS Panel (N = 2934) with a mean age of 52.76 years analyzing the hypotheses in a populationbased sample across eight weeks. Finally, an ambulatory assessment study was designed to expand the findings of the longitudinal studies to the intraindividual level. Thus, a sample of 213 participants completed questionnaires of momentary SC, perceived stress, engagement and disengagement coping, and affective well-being on their smartphones three times per day over seven consecutive days. The data was processed using 1-1-1 multilevel mediation analyses. Results: Results of the meta-analysis indicated that higher SC is significantly associated with more use of engagement coping and less use of disengagement coping. Considering the relations between SC and stress processing variables in all three single studies, cross-lagged paths from the longitudinal data, as well as multilevel modeling paths from the ambulatory assessment data indicated a notable relation between all relevant stress variables. As expected, results showed a significant negative relation between SC and perceived stress and disengagement coping, as well as a positive connection with engagement coping responses at the dispositional and intra-individual level. However, considering the mediational hypothesis, the most promising pathway in the link between SC and affective well-being turned out to be perceived stress in all three studies, while effects of the mediational pathways through coping responses were less robust. Conclusion: Thus, a more self-compassionate attitude and higher momentary SC, when needed in specific situations, can help to engage in effective stress processing. Considering the underlying mechanisms in the link between SC and affective well-being, stress perception in particular seemed to be the most promising candidate for enhancing affective well-being at the dispositional and at the intraindividual level. Future research should explore the pathways between SC and affective well-being in specific contexts and samples, and also take into account additional influential factors. N2 - Hintergrund: In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten erregte das Konzept Selbstmitgefühl (SMG), eine besondere Art des Mitgefühls um sich im Umgang mit stressigen Lebensumständen zurechtzufinden, zunehmend Aufmerksamkeit in der Forschung. Zahlreiche Untersuchungen haben bereits gezeigt, dass SMG positive Auswirkungen auf das affektive Wohlbefinden sowie auf die psychische Gesundheit im Allgemeinen hat. Allerdings ist wenig darüber bekannt wie SMG unser affektives Wohlbefinden in Stresssituationen verbessern kann. Daher war es ein zentrales Anliegen dieser Dissertation, die Frage zu beantworten, welche zugrundeliegenden Prozesse den Zusammenhang zwischen SMG und affektivem Wohlbefinden beeinflussen können. Zwei etablierte Komponenten im Stressverarbeitungsprozess, die in diesem Zusammenhang ebenfalls eine wichtige Rolle spielen könnten, sind die Menge an erlebtem Stress sowie die Art und Weise, wie mit einem Stressor umgegangen wird (Coping). Unter Verwendung eines Multimethodenansatzes, war es demnach Ziel dieser Dissertation herauszufinden, inwieweit SMG dazu beitragen kann, den erlebten Stress abzumildern und eine heilsamere Bewältigung im Umgang mit stressigen Situationen zu fördern. Diese Prozesse könnten letztendlich dazu beitragen, das affektive Wohlbefinden zu verbessern. Daraus abgeleitet, wurde die Hypothese aufgestellt, dass mehr SMG mit weniger wahrgenommenem Stress und einem intensiveren Gebrauch von protektiven Bewältigungsreaktionen verbunden ist. Darüber hinaus wurde vermutet, dass wahrgenommener Stress und Coping den Zusammenhang zwischen SMG und affektivem Wohlbefinden vermitteln. Methode: Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen wurden drei Einzelstudien und eine Metastudie konzipiert. Um die Annahmen über die Zusammenhänge von SMG und Bewältigungsstrategien zu überprüfen, wurde eine systematische Literaturrecherche durchgeführt. Die durchgeführte Suche ergab k = 136 Stichproben mit einer Gesamtstichprobengröße von N = 38.913. Zur Integration der z-transformierten Pearson-Korrelationskoeffizienten wurden Random-Effects-Modelle berechnet. In zwei Längsschnittstudien wurden alle Hypothesen mit einem Drei-Wellen-Cross-Lagged-Design überprüft, um die Zusammenhänge von SMG, wahrgenommenem Stress und Bewältigungsreaktionen zu bewerten. Die erste Studie untersuchte über einen Zeitraum von 12 Wochen die Annahmen anhand einer Stichprobe von Studenten (N = 684) mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 27,91 Jahren. Die zweite Studie fand im Rahmen einer bevölkerungsbasierten Paneluntersuchung (GESIS) in einem Zeitraum von 4 Monaten statt. An der Befragung nahmen N = 2934 mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 52,76 Jahren teil. Abschließend wurde eine Ambulante Assessmentstudie konzipiert, mit Hilfe dieser sollten die Hypothesen auf der intraindividuellen Ebene überprüft werden. 213 TeilnehmerInnen füllten Fragebögen zu momentanem SC, wahrgenommenem Stress, verwendeten Copingstrategien und affektivem Wohlbefinden dreimal täglich auf ihren Smartphones an sieben aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen aus. Die Daten wurden mithilfe von 1-1-1-Multilevel-Mediationsanalysen analysiert. Ergebnisse: Die Ergebnisse der Metaanalyse zeigten, dass eine Ausprägung in SMG signifikant mit mehr Einsatz von Annäherungscoping und weniger Einsatz von Vermeidungscoping verbunden ist. Sowohl die cross-lagged Pfade der Längstschnittstudien als auch die Pfade der Mehrebenenanalysen des Ambulanten Assessments zeigten erwartete Zusammenhänge zwischen SMG und allen relevanten Stressvariablen. Wie erwartet, zeigte sich ein signifikant negativer Zusammenhang zwischen SMG und wahrgenommenem Stress sowie Vermeidungscoping sowohl auf dispositioneller als auch intraindividueller Ebene. Des Weiteren wurde ein positiver Zusammenhang mit Annäherungscoping auf beiden Ebenen gefunden. Die Mediationshypothese konnte nur teilweise bestätigt werden. So erwies sich der Mediator wahrgenommener Stress als konsistent im Zusammenhang zwischen SMG und affektivem Wohlbefinden in allen drei Studien, während die Mediationspfade für Coping weniger robust waren. Fazit: Eine selbstmitfühlendere Haltung sowie höheres momentanes SMG kann in bestimmten Situationen dabei helfen, Stress effektiver zu bewältigen. Insbesondere weniger Stresswahrnehmung scheint ein vielversprechender Kandidat in der Vermittlung des Zusammenhangs zwischen SMG und affektivem Wohlbefinden auf dispositionell und auf intraindividueller Ebene zu sein. Personen mit mehr SMG erleben in anspruchsvollen Situationen weniger Stress, was schon von Beginn des stressigen Erlebnisses für das AWB förderlich sein kann, ohne dass weitere Bewältigungsreaktionen erforderlich werden. Zukünftige Forschung sollte zugrundeliegende Mechanismen zwischen SMG und affektivem Wohlbefinden in spezifischen Kontexten und Stichproben untersuchen, und auch weitere Einflussfaktoren berücksichtigen.

Therefore, to be successful in today’s highly uncertain environments, organizations need employees to actively search for opportunities, anticipate challenges, and act ahead. In other words, employee proactivity in the workplace represents a highly valuable resource in nowadays organizations. Empirical studies conducted as part of this thesis advance the research on the outcomes of proactivity from the individual perspective. The main contribution of this thesis pertains to revealing several important individual and contextual conditions under which engaging in proactivity will have negative and positive effects on employees’ well-being and their consequent behaviours, as well as shedding light on the unique psychological mechanisms through which these effects unfold. From a practical standpoint, this research underscores the importance of creating work environments that support employees’ autonomous motivation for proactivity and urge organizations and managers to be mindful about the pressures they place on employees to be proactive at work. Besides, this thesis stimulates research efforts aimed at further extending our knowledge of when and how individual proactive behaviours at work will do more good than harm for those who enact them.

Diese Arbeit untersucht ein Prozessmodell des Zusammenhangs von bedürfnisbefriedigenden Arbeitsmerkmalen und psychologischem Wohlbefinden (Eudämonie) vermittelt über 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 Erwerbstätigen 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. Darüber hinaus wurden die Annahmen über die Mediation dieser Einflüsse überwiegend gestützt. Hypothesenkonform wurde der Einfluss von Autonomie und Ganzheitlichkeit auf psychologisches Wohlbefinden seriell mediiert über folgende Pfade: (1) Autonomie und Ganzheitlichkeit führten zu mehr Empowerment, nachfolgend zu weniger Entfremdung und schließlich zu höherem psychologischem Wohlbefinden und (2) Autonomie und Ganzheitlichkeit führten zu mehr Empowerment, nachfolgend zu mehr proaktivem Verhalten und schließlich zu höherem psychologischem Wohlbefinden. Die ad-hoc Hypothese über die mediierende Rolle von affektivem Commitment wurde nicht bestätigt. Post-hoc Testungen von 3fach seriellen Mediationen wiesen jedoch auf einen schwachen indirekten Effekt von Autonomie und Ganzheitlichkeit auf psychologisches Wohlbefinden über Entfremdung, affektives Commitment und nachfolgend Entfremdung oder stattdessen proaktives Verhalten hin. Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Klärung 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 Erklärbarkeit durch die Self-Determination Theory unterstreicht. Schließlich werden aus den Ergebnissen ableitend verschiedene theoretische Implikationen diskutiert und Empfehlungen für die Gestaltung von Arbeit mit dem Ziel einer besseren, humanistischeren Gesellschaft formuliert. N2 - There is no doubt that work, both from the perspective of the individual and society, is of significant relevance to human life. Therefore, research on this relation is of growing interest in the field of work and organizational psychology. This study analyzed a process model, in which need-supportive work conditions have positive effects on psychological well-being (eudaimonia) mediated by empowerment, affective commitment, alienation, and proactive behavior. The process model of this thesis was built on the self-determination theory (SDT) model in the workplace. For the analysis, I collected and assessed cross-sectional data from a convenience sample of 172 working adults from Western society. Hypotheses were tested using hierarchical regression analysis and the PROCESS macro for SPSS. Results show significant positive effects of autonomy and task identity on psychological well-being. Furthermore, the hypotheses about the mediation of these effects were supported. As hypothesized, the effects of autonomy and task identity on psychological well-being were serially mediated via the following paths: (1) Autonomy and task identity positively influenced empowerment, which in turn exercised a negative effect on alienation, which then negatively affected psychological well-being. (2) Autonomy and task identity positively influenced empowerment, which in turn exercised a positive effect on proactive behavior, which then positively affected psychological well-being. The data did not show the hypothesized mediating role of affective commitment. Yet, testing of post-hoc assumptions about three mediators operating in serial showed a weak, indirect effect of autonomy and task identity on psychological well-being via (1) empowerment, affective commitment, and alienation, and (2) empowerment, affective commitment, and proactive behavior. This thesis contributes to the clarification of SDT as a theory of work psychology. It supports the role of SDT as a useful theory of describing the formation process of well-being. Moreover, the thesis extends research about the antecedents and consequences of empowerment, affective commitment, alienation, and proactive behavior on the one hand, and it underlines the relation of those concepts with SDT on the other. At last, I discuss various theoretical implications and draw conclusions for practitioners of today and the society of tomorrow.
