A1 - Seegebarth, Barbara A1 - Peyer, Mathias T1 - A sustainable pathway to consumer wellbeing BT - the role of anticonsumption and consumer empowerment JF - The Journal of consumer affairs N2 - This study investigates the effect of different anticonsumption constructs on consumer wellbeing. The study assumes that people will only lower their level of consumption if doing so does not also lower personal wellbeing. More precisely, this research investigates how specific subtypes of sustainable anticonsumption (e.g., voluntary simplicity, collaborative consumption, and debt-free living) relate to different states of consumer's wellbeing (e.g., financial, psychosocial, and subjective wellbeing). This work also examines whether consumer empowerment can improve personal wellbeing and strengthen the anticonsumption wellbeing relationship. The results show that voluntarily foregoing consumption does not reduce wellbeing and consumer empowerment plays a significant role in supporting sustainable pathways to consumer wellbeing. This study reasons that empowerment improves consumer sovereignty, but may be detrimental for consumers heavily concerned about debt-free living. The present investigation concludes by proposing implications for public and consumer policymakers wishing to promote appropriate sustainable (anticonsumption) pathways to consumer wellbeing.

Needs and emotions during classes BT - the Felix-App: new ways of feedback and evaluating classes in real time T2 - 9th International Conference on Society and Information Technologies (ICSIT 2018) N2 - The “output-orientation” is omnipresent in teacher education. In order to evaluate teachers' and students' performances, a wide range of different quantitative questionnaires exist worldwide. One important goal of teaching evaluation is to increase the quality of teaching and learning. The author argues, that standard evaluations which are typically made at the end of the semester are problematic due to two reasons. The first one is that some of the questions are too general and don`t offer concrete ideas as to what kind of actions can be taken to make the courses better. The second problem is that the evaluation is mostly made when the course is already over. Because of this criticism, Apelojg invented the Felix-App which offers the possibility to give feedback in real-time by asking for the emotions and needs that occur during different learning situations. The idea is very simple: positive emotions and satisfied needs are helpful for the learning process. Negative emotions and unsatisfied needs have negative effects on the learning process. First descriptive results show, that “managing emotions” during classes can have positive effects on both motivation and emotions.

Studies reveal that intensified global economic relations have caused or accelerated dramatic changes in the Earth system, defined as the sum of our planet’s interacting physical, chemical, biological and human processes (Schellnhuber et al. 2004). Climate change, biodiversity loss, disrupted biogeochemical cycles, and land degradation are often cited as emblematic problems of global environmental change (Rockström et al. 2009; Steffen et al. 2015). In this context, the term Anthropocene has lately received widespread attention and gained some prominence in the academic literature Y1 - 2019 SN - 978-1-351-17412-1 SN - 978-0-8153-8614-8 U6 - https://doi.org/10.4324/9781351174121 IS - 1 SP - 1 EP - 12 PB - Routledge CY - London ER - TY - THES A1 - Döring, Matthias T1 - The public encounter T1 - Dynamiken von Bürger-Staat-Interaktionen BT - dynamics of citizen-state interactions N2 - This thesis puts the citizen-state interaction at its center. Building on a comprehensive model incorporating various perspectives on this interaction, I derive selected research gaps. The three articles, comprising this thesis, tackle these gaps. A focal role plays the citizens’ administrative literacy, the relevant competences and knowledge necessary to successfully interact with public organizations. The first article elaborates on the different dimensions of administrative literacy and develops a survey instrument to assess these. The second study shows that public employees change their behavior according to the competences that citizens display during public encounters. They treat citizens preferentially that are well prepared and able to persuade them of their application’s potential. Thereby, they signal a higher success potential for bureaucratic success criteria which leads to the employees’ cream-skimming behavior. The third article examines the dynamics of employees’ communication strategies when recovering from a service failure. The study finds that different explanation strategies yield different effects on the client’s frustration. While accepting the responsibility and explaining the reasons for a failure alleviates the frustration and anger, refusing the responsibility leads to no or even reinforcing effects on the client’s frustration. The results emphasize the different dynamics that characterize the nature of citizen-state interactions and how they establish their short- and long-term outcomes. N2 - Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich mit der direkten Interaktion zwischen BürgerInnen und Verwaltungen auseinander. Auf Basis eines umfassenden Modells, das verschiedene Perspektiven auf die Dynamiken dieser “public encounter” beschreibt, werden ausgewählte Forschungslücken hervorgehoben. Die drei Artikel, die diese Dissertation konstituieren, fokussieren diese Lücken. Dabei spielt die Frage nach den notwendigen Kompetenzen von BürgerInnen, die es ermöglichen, erfolgreich und auf Augenhöhe mit Verwaltungen interagieren zu können, eine wichtige Rolle. Die Relevanz verschiedener Dimensionen wird herausgearbeitet und mit Hilfe eines Survey-Instruments validiert. In einer weiteren Studie zeigt sich, dass VerwaltungsmitarbeiterInnen BürgerInnen bevorzugen, die dank dieser Kompetenzen besser auf Interaktionen vorbereitet sind. Aufgrund der besseren Vorbereitung sowie der Fähigkeit, ihr Gegenüber vom Nutzen des Antrags zu überzeugen, gelingt es BürgerInnen mit einer hohen Kompetenz, eine höhere Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit im Sinne der organisationalen Ziele zu signalisieren. Der dritte Artikel beleuchtet die Dynamik der Kommunikationsstrategien von MitarbeiterInnen im Falle von Fehlern bei der Erbringung von Dienstleistungen. Die Studie stellt heraus, dass verschiedene Kommunikationsstrategien zur Wiedergutmachung von Fehlern unterschiedliche Effekte auf das Frustrationsniveau der KlientInnen haben. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass die bewusste Übernahme von Verantwortung sowie die Erläuterung der Ursachen des Fehlers die Frustration senken, während das Abwälzen der Verantwortung keinen bzw. sogar einen verstärkenden Effekt auf die Frustration hat. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Dynamiken, die bei der Interaktion zwischen BürgerInnen und Verwaltungen entstehen und für das kurz- und langfristige Ergebnis dieser Interaktionen maßgeblich sein können.

Given that preschoolers are in the most rapid phase of brain development, and display profound emotional development, it was the aim of the present study to establish an adapted interoceptive accuracy paradigm and to investigate associations between sociodemographic (age, sex) and emotional variables with interoceptive accuracy. Forty-nine children (aged 4–6 years) completed the jumping jack paradigm (JJP), a heartbeat tracking paradigm, which includes a noninvasive physical perturbation via performing jumping jacks for 10 s. An interoceptive accuracy score was based on the comparison between self-reported and objectively recorded heart rate prior to and after completion of jumping jacks. Children also completed validated measures for emotion recognition and emotion regulation. Children's objectively recorded heart rate significantly increased after the JJP by 20 bpm on average. There was a positive relationship between reactivity on self-reported heart rate and objectively recorded heart rate increase. The derived scores for interoceptive accuracy increased with age, suggesting older children to report more self-reported heart rate change than objectively recorded, but were unrelated to children's sex or BMI. While emotion recognition and regulation significantly increased with age, the interoceptive accuracy score was unrelated to emotion recognition, but marginally associated to emotion regulation. Children with higher interoceptive accuracy score (i.e., self-reporting more heart rate change than objectively recorded) received lower emotion regulation score. The present study is the first to depict a novel behavioral paradigm to assess interoceptive accuracy in preschool-aged children.

Damit Verhalten in Folge einer notwendigen Veränderung angepasst wird, reicht es nicht aus, dass Menschen wissen was zu tun ist, willens und in der Lage sind ihr Verhalten zu verändern. Eine Veränderung gelingt nur dann, wenn nur noch das neue Verhalten zur Anwendung kommt und nicht mehr das Alte, wenn das alte Verhalten vergessen wird. Der notwendige Prozess des willentlichen Vergessens ist durch Entfernen von Hinweisreizen, die die Erinnerung des zu Vergessenden und durch Platzierung von Hinweisreizen, die die Aktivierung des Neuen auslösen, gestaltbar. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt die förderliche Wirkung von Hinweisreizen auf willentliches Vergessen dar, stellt sie im Rahmen des Berichts einer experimentellen Studie unter Beweis und gibt praktische Implikationen, wie für Individuen, Gruppen und Organisationen willentliches Vergessen gestaltet werden kann. N2 - This paper in the journal Gruppe. Interaktion. Organisation. illustrates how intentional forgetting can improve the adaptation to necessary changes for individuals, groups and organizations, and how intentional forgetting can be consciously and purposefully designed.In order for behavior to be adapted as aresult of necessary change, it is not enough for people to know what to do, to be willing and able to change their behavior. Achange succeeds only if the new behavior is activated and not the old one, if the old behavior is forgotten. The necessary process of intentional forgetting can be designed by removing cues that retrieve memory items to be forgotten and placing cues that trigger the retrieval of the new.This paper presents the beneficial effects of cues on intentional forgetting, proves them in the context of areport of an experimental study and gives practical implications on how to design intentional forgetting for individuals, groups and organizations.

The goal is to develop new products and services by being customer-centric and working iteratively and in an interdisciplinary way, using specific working principles and methods to create a common language among all stakeholders. The empirical results in this article show that Design Thinking teamwork is different from other forms of teamwork. The difference in Design Thinking team-based project work is that the teams go through a specific learning process that poses individual challenges but also provides the individual with experience-based learning. We show that teams going through this learning process repeatedly find themselves in seemingly insolvable conflicts-so called structural dilemmas-within the framework of project deadlines and under the influence of strategic guidelines of the organization. We explore these structural dilemmas and develop ways to overcome them.

Urbanization, trade, and the environment JF - Journal of regional science N2 - Is urbanization good for the environment? This paper establishes a simple core-periphery model with monocentric cities, which comprises key forces that shape the structure and interrelation of cities to study the impact of the urban evolution on the environment. We focus on global warming and the potential of unfettered market forces to economize on emissions. The model parameters are chosen to match the dichotomy between average "large" and "small" cities in the urban geography of the United States, and the sectoral greenhouse gas emissions recorded for the United States. Based on numerical analyzes we find that a forced switch to a system with equally sized cities reduces total emissions. Second, any city driver which pronounces the asymmetry between the core and the periphery drives up emissions in the total city system, too, and the endogenous adjustment of the urban system accounts for the bulk of the change in emissions. Third, none of the city drivers gives rise to an urban environmental Kuznets curve according to our numerical simulations. Finally, the welfare-maximizing allocation tends to involve dispersion of cities and the more so the higher is the marginal damage from pollution.

But little efforts have been made to observe how MPs behave in new democratic assemblies. This article seeks to address this shortcoming through an exploration of the use of parliamentary questions in two new democracies: Kenya and Zambia. Analysing an innovative dataset we offer one of the few attempts to directly measure legislative behaviour in new democracies. We examine how the factors found in the literature on parliamentary questions in liberal democracies react to this shift of context and to what degree legislatures in these countries fulfil their core functions. Results show that opposition MPs are not necessarily among the most active but that electoral incentives such as the margin by which MPs have won their seats or the number of voters they represent explain the use and content of parliamentary questions.

BT - Narratives of the sustainable economy JF - Sustainability N2 - Narratives are shaping our understanding of the world. They convey values and norms and point to desirable future developments. In this way, they justify and legitimize political actions and social practices. Once a narrative has emerged and this world view is supported by broad societal groups, narratives can provide powerful momentum to trigger innovation and changes in the course of action. Narratives, however, are not necessarily based on evidence and precise categories, but can instead be vague and ambiguous in order to be acceptable and attractive to different actors. However, the more open and inclusive a narrative is, the less impact can be expected. We investigate whether there is a shared narrative in research for the sustainable economy and how this can be evaluated in terms of its potential societal impact. The paper carves out the visions for the future that have been underlying the research projects conducted within the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funding programme "The Sustainable Economy". It then analyzes whether these visions are compatible with narratives dominating societal discourse on the sustainable economy, and concludes how the use of visions and narratives in research can contribute to fostering societal transformations.

T1 - A paradox perspective on the interactive effects of visionary and empowering leadership JF - Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes N2 - In a multi-source, lagged design field study of 197 leader-follower dyads, we test a model that predicts positive interactive effects of visionary and empowering leadership on follower performance. Based on the paradox perspective, we argue that visionary and empowering leadership are synergistic in that their combination enables leaders to address a key paradox inherent to leader behavior identified by Waldman and Bowen (2016): Maintaining control while simultaneously letting go of control. We argue that visionary leadership addresses the former and empowering leadership addresses the latter pole of this pair of opposites. Hence, in line with paradox thinking, we posit that leaders will engender more positive effects on follower performance when they enact visionary and empowering leadership behaviors simultaneously and adopt a "both-and" approach, rather than focus on one of these behaviors without the other. Our results support our hypothesized interactive effect of visionary and empowering leadership on goal clarity, as well as a conditional indirect effect such that goal clarity mediates the interactive effect of visionary and empowering leadership on individual follower performance.

Since top wealth is likely to be under-represented in household surveys, we integrate big fortunes from rich lists, estimate a Pareto distribution, and impute the missing rich. In addition to the Forbes list, we rely on national rich lists since they represent a broader base of the big fortunes in those countries. As a result, the top 1% wealth share increases notably for the three selected countries after imputing the top wealth. We find that national rich lists can improve the estimation of the Pareto coefficient in particular when the list of national USD billionaires is short.

Change agents are crucial for the promotion of such patterns, so there may be lessons for governance interventions that can be learnt from the every-day experiences of those who actively implement and promote sustainability in the field of anti-consumption. Eighteen social innovation pioneers, who engage in and diffuse practices of voluntary simplicity and collaborative consumption as sustainable options of anti-consumption share their knowledge and personal insights in expert interviews for this research. Our qualitative content analysis reveals drivers, barriers, and governance strategies to strengthen anti-consumption patterns, which are negotiated between the market, the state, and civil society. Recommendations derived from the interviews concern entrepreneurship, municipal infrastructures in support of local grassroots projects, regulative policy measures, more positive communication to strengthen the visibility of initiatives and emphasize individual benefits, establishing a sense of community, anti-consumer activism, and education. We argue for complementary action between top-down strategies, bottom-up initiatives, corporate activities, and consumer behavior. The results are valuable to researchers, activists, marketers, and policymakers who seek to enhance their understanding of materially reduced consumption patterns based on the real-life experiences of active pioneers in the field.

The architecture is characterized by complex functional interrelations between activities that are conducted by various actors, some within and some outside of the firm. In other words, a firm’s value architecture is embedded within a wider system of actors that all contribute to the output of the value architecture. The question of what drives innovation within this system and how the firm can shape and navigate this innovation is an essential question within innova- tion management research. This dissertation is a compendium of four individual research articles that examine how the design of a firm’s value architecture can fa- cilitate system-wide innovation in the context of Artificial Intelligence and Block- chain Technology. The first article studies how firms use Blockchain Technology to design a governance infrastructure that enables innovation within a platform ecosystem. The findings propose a framework for blockchain-enabled platform ecosystems that address the essential problem of opening the platform to allow for innovation while also ensuring that all actors get to capture their share of the value. The second article analyzes how German Artificial Intelligence startups design their business models. It identifies three distinct types of startup with dif- ferent underlying business models. The third article aims to understand the role of a firm’s value architecture during the socio-technical transition process of Arti- ficial Intelligence. It identifies three distinct ways in which Artificial Intelligence startups create a shared understanding of the technology. The last article exam- ines how corporate venture capital units configure value-adding services for their venture portfolios. It derives a taxonomy of different corporate venture capital types, driven by different strategic motivations. Ultimately, this dissertation provides novel empirical insights into how a firm’s value architecture determines it’s role within a wider system of actors and how that role enables the firm to facilitate innovation. In that way, it contributes to both business model and innovation management literature.

The paper employs an affordance-based view that allows for the identification and structuring of hidden, emergent attributes of the scenario technique beyond the intended ones. The suggested framework distinguishes between affordances (1) that are intended by the organization and relate to its goals, (2) that emergently generate organizational benefits, and (3) that do not relate to organizational but individual interests. Also, constraints in the use of scenarios are discussed. Affordance theory’s specific lens shows that the emergence of such attributes depends on the users’ specific intentions.

Building on a comprehensive model incorporating various perspectives on this interaction, I derive selected research gaps. The three articles, comprising this thesis, tackle these gaps. A focal role plays the citizens’ administrative literacy, the relevant competences and knowledge necessary to successfully interact with public organizations. The first article elaborates on the different dimensions of administrative literacy and develops a survey instrument to assess these. The second study shows that public employees change their behavior according to the competences that citizens display during public encounters. They treat citizens preferentially that are well prepared and able to persuade them of their application’s potential. Thereby, they signal a higher success potential for bureaucratic success criteria which leads to the employees’ cream-skimming behavior. The third article examines the dynamics of employees’ communication strategies when recovering from a service failure. The study finds that different explanation strategies yield different effects on the client’s frustration. While accepting the responsibility and explaining the reasons for a failure alleviates the frustration and anger, refusing the responsibility leads to no or even reinforcing effects on the client’s frustration. The results emphasize the different dynamics that characterize the nature of citizen-state interactions and how they establish their short- and long-term outcomes. N2 - Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich mit der direkten Interaktion zwischen BürgerInnen und Verwaltungen auseinander. Auf Basis eines umfassenden Modells, das verschiedene Perspektiven auf die Dynamiken dieser “public encounter” beschreibt, werden ausgewählte Forschungslücken hervorgehoben. Die drei Artikel, die diese Dissertation konstituieren, fokussieren diese Lücken. Dabei spielt die Frage nach den notwendigen Kompetenzen von BürgerInnen, die es ermöglichen, erfolgreich und auf Augenhöhe mit Verwaltungen interagieren zu können, eine wichtige Rolle. Die Relevanz verschiedener Dimensionen wird herausgearbeitet und mit Hilfe eines Survey-Instruments validiert. In einer weiteren Studie zeigt sich, dass VerwaltungsmitarbeiterInnen BürgerInnen bevorzugen, die dank dieser Kompetenzen besser auf Interaktionen vorbereitet sind. Aufgrund der besseren Vorbereitung sowie der Fähigkeit, ihr Gegenüber vom Nutzen des Antrags zu überzeugen, gelingt es BürgerInnen mit einer hohen Kompetenz, eine höhere Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit im Sinne der organisationalen Ziele zu signalisieren. Der dritte Artikel beleuchtet die Dynamik der Kommunikationsstrategien von MitarbeiterInnen im Falle von Fehlern bei der Erbringung von Dienstleistungen. Die Studie stellt heraus, dass verschiedene Kommunikationsstrategien zur Wiedergutmachung von Fehlern unterschiedliche Effekte auf das Frustrationsniveau der KlientInnen haben. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass die bewusste Übernahme von Verantwortung sowie die Erläuterung der Ursachen des Fehlers die Frustration senken, während das Abwälzen der Verantwortung keinen bzw. sogar einen verstärkenden Effekt auf die Frustration hat. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Dynamiken, die bei der Interaktion zwischen BürgerInnen und Verwaltungen entstehen und für das kurz- und langfristige Ergebnis dieser Interaktionen maßgeblich sein können.

Dilemmata sind ein alltägliches Geschäft im Topmanagement. Die entsprechenden Akteure sind daher immer wieder mit diesen konfrontiert und mit ihnen umzugehen, gehört gewissermaßen zu ihrer Berufsbeschreibung. Hinzu kommen Dilemmata im nicht direkt geschäftlichen Bereich, wie zum Beispiel jene zwischen Familien- und Arbeitszeit. Doch stellt dieses Feld ein kaum untersuchtes Forschungsgebiet dar. Während Dilemmata in anderen Bereichen eine zunehmende Aufmerksamkeit erfuhren, wurden deren Besonderheiten im Topmanagement genauso wenig differenziert betrachtet wie zugehörige Umgangsweisen. Theorie und Praxis stellen bezüglich Dilemmata von Topmanagern vor allem einen Gegensatz dar, beziehungsweise fehlt es an einer theoretischen Fundierung der Empirie. Diesem Umstand wird mittels dieser Studie begegnet. Auf der Grundlage einer differenzierten und breiten Erfassung von Theorien zu Dilemmata, so diese auch noch nicht auf Topmanager bezogen wurden, und einer empirischen Erhebung, die im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit stehen, soll das Feld Dilemmata von Topmanagern der Forschung geöffnet werden. Empirische Grundlage sind vor allem narrative Interviews mit Topmanagern über ihre Dilemmata-Wahrnehmung, ausgemachte Ursachen, Umgangsweisen und Resultate. Dies erlaubt es, Topmanagertypen sowie Dilemmata-Arten, mit denen sie konfrontiert sind oder waren, analytisch herauszuarbeiten. Angesichts der Praxisrelevanz von Dilemmata von Topmanagern wird jedoch nicht nur ein theoretisches Modell zu dieser Thematik erarbeitet, es werden auch Reflexionen auf die Praxis in Form von Handlungsempfehlungen vorgenommen. Schließlich gilt es, die allgemeine Theorie zu Dilemmata, ohne konkreten Bezug zu Topmanagern, mit den theoretischen Erkenntnissen dieser Studie auf empirischer Basis zu kontrastieren. Dabei wird im Rahmen der empirischen Erfassung und Auswertung dem Ansatz der Grounded-Theory-Methodologie gefolgt. N2 - This scientific study examines the handling of dilemmas of top managers. Handling dilemmas is daily business of top managers, again and again they are confronted with various dilemmas. But handling dilemmas is not only part of the job description of top managers, they also must handle dilemmas out of their direct business, as between family and business time. But this area has not been focused on in studies so far; while dilemmas in general have been broadly studied and were in the focus of attention in different scientific areas, they and their handling have not been studied in connection with top managers. Here, theory and practice are far away from each other; it lacks a theoretical base for the empirical handling of dilemmas of top managers. This circumstance is tackled by this study, which is based on a broad and differentiated discussion of theories about dilemmas, even though they are not directly linked to top management. What follows is an empirical study as centre of this work to bring the field of dilemma of top managers into scientific focus, based on narrative interviews with top managers. With the interviews it is possible to analyze the perception of dilemmas of top managers, see causes of dilemmas, ways to handle them and their results. Building on this, types of top managers can be distinguished from each other as well as kinds of dilemmas they are confronted with respectively have been confronted with. Considering the relevance of the topic of dilemmas for the practice of top managers, in the end not only a theoretical model shall be developed based on the empirical data, but reflections towards practice shall be undertaken in form of recommended procedures. Finally, the covered general theory about dilemmas, without explicit connection to top managers, is to be contrasted with the theoretical insights based on the empiricism of this study. Behind the empirical analysis here stands a Grounded Theory Methodology approach.

Limited resources, missing expertise and absolute uncertainty call entrepreneurs to strongly rely on their cognition in searching for a promising BM. However, as prior studies have examined cognitive search activities in isolation and neglected cognitive differences, explanations of how cognitive factors affect the BM process and outcomes are thus far insufficient. Addressing the overall question of how BMs emerge, the dissertation contributes to the cognitive perspective in entrepreneurship and BM research. Building on the dual-process theory from cognitive psychology, the micro-foundations of managerial decision-making and insights from framing literature, this dissertation explicitly investigates the impacts of different cognitive dispositions, search activities and visual framing effects. The core assumption is that cognitive dispositions and entrepreneurs’ searches for information determine their BM decision-making. Furthermore, BM visualisations have become popular instruments with which to explain and manage today’s complex business interactions. As they abstract from reality, they can also unfold impacts on the cognitive processes. This dissertation offers new explanations to these aspects and consists of three studies and one reflective article. The first study explores the impacts of differences in search activities and cognitive dispositions in a qualitative study with 70 entrepreneurship students. The second qualitative study explores the cognitive impacts of 103 BM visualisations. Third, a quantitative PLS-SEM experiment with 197 entrepreneurs illuminates the link between BM visualisations and cognition. The reflective article expresses the results’ meaning for the teaching of BMs. In sum, the studies have resulted in a new theory of stabilising factors explaining how cognitive dispositions, search activities and visual framing determine entrepreneurs’ decisions to imitate or deviate from existing BMs. It indicates that the decision depends on the context-dependent strategic orientation and cognitive disposition-dependent cognitive safety, that is the correspondence between characteristics of cognitive dispositions and search activities. Moreover, the studies identified five visual framing effects that are independent of cognitive dispositions and prior experiences. This provides fertile contributions to the literature on BM methods and how BM visualisations affect decisions. Most importantly, BM visualisations provide an emotionally stabilising function to rational entrepreneurs, a cognitively stabilising function to experiential participants and do not affect indifferent participants in general. N2 - Die Suche nach vielversprechenden Geschäftsmodellen (GMen) ist für jedes gewinn-orientierte Unternehmen essenziell. Die Suche fordert vor allem Neugründer heraus. Aufgrund begrenzter Ressourcen, fehlender Erfahrungen und hoher Unsicherheit beruht deren Suche stark auf deren Kognition. Die bisherigen Erklärungen, wie sich kognitive Faktoren auf GM-Prozesse und -Ergebnisse auswirken, sind jedoch unzureichend. Diese vernachlässigen indivi¬duelle Unterschiede und betrachten ausschließlich einzelne, kognitive Suchaktivitäten. Diese Dissertation befasst sich folglich mit der allgemeinen Frage, wie GMe entstehen. Aufbauend auf der Dual-Process-Theorie, den Mikro-Grundlagen der Entscheidungsfindung und Framingeffekten werden die Auswirkungen verschiedener kognitiver Dispositionen, Suchaktivitäten und visueller Framingeffekte auf GM-Prozesse und -Ergebnisse untersucht. Grundlegend bestimmen die kognitive Disposition und Suchaktivitäten den Prozess. Darüber hinaus können auch GM-Visualisierungen Einflüsse entfalten, da sie von der Realität abstrahieren. Die Beantwortung der Frage, welche Einflüsse sie ausüben, ist bedeutend, da sie genutzt werden, um heutige, komplexe Geschäftsbeziehungen zu erklären und zu steuern. Die Dissertation bietet neue Erklärungen zu diesen Aspekten und besteht aus drei Studien und einem Reflexionsartikel. Die erste Studie untersucht die Auswirkungen von Unterschieden bei Suchaktivitäten und kognitiven Dispositionen in einer qualitativen Studie mit 70 Entrepre¬neurship-Studierenden. Die zweite, qualitative Studie untersucht die kognitiven Auswirkungen von 103 GM-Visualisierungen. Drittens beleuchtet ein quantitatives PLS-SEM-Experiment mit 197 Gründern die Beziehung zwischen GM-Visualisierungen und Kognition. Der Reflexions¬artikel beschreibt die Bedeutung der Ergebnisse für die GM-Lehre. Zusammenfassend trägt diese Dissertation zur kognitiven Perspektive der GM- und Ent¬repreneurship-Forschung bei. Die Ergebnisse eröffnen eine neue theoretische Erklärung und erweitern das Wissen über GM-Methoden. Sta¬bilisierende Faktoren wie der Zusammenhang zwischen Disposition und Suchaktivitäten sind Grundvoraussetzung für Gründer, um neuartige GMe zu entwickeln. Diese neue Erkenntnis wird durch das neue Konzept, kognitive Sicherheit, als kontext-unabhängige GM-Auswirkung be¬schrieben. Die strategische Orientierung wirkt sich kontextabhängig aus. Des Weiteren wurden fünf visuelle Framingeffekte identifiziert, die unabhängig von Disposition und Vorwissen Entscheidungen beeinflussen. Am bedeutendsten zeigt sich, dass GM-Visualisierungen emotional-stabilisierende Auswirkungen auf rationale und kognitiv-stabilisierende Auswirkungen auf erfahrungsgetriebene Gründer haben.

ER - TY - THES A1 - Fawaz, Emadeldin T1 - The interactive effect of visionary leadership and leader prototypicality on team outcomes N2 - A new model that links visionary leadership with team performance is postulated. It is proposed that leader prototypicality will negatively moderate the effect of visionary leadership on team goal monitoring and performance. This model underlines that teams will compensate for the less prototypicality of a visionary leader by engaging in more goal monitoring, which is a process that is conducive to team performance. A field study included 60 teams, 180 individuals, and 60 team leaders was conducted in Egypt. Parameters were collected on the individual level. Aggregation measures (rwg, ICC1 & ICC2) were acceptable and the averages were calculated for each team. The proposed three-factor model exhibited a reasonable fit to the data, χ2(130) = 259.93, p-value0.01; CFI = 0.90; and RMSEA = 0.13). The hypothesized negative moderation effect of leader prototypicality on the relationship between visionary leadership and team goal monitoring was statistically significant (-0.16; s.e.= 0.06; t = -3.13; p <0.01; 95% CI: -0.31, -0.07). Results showed a significant index of moderated mediation (-0.07; s.e.= 0.05; 95% CI: -0.20, -0.01). As predicted, the indirect effect of visionary leadership on team performance mediated by team goal monitoring was more strongly positive when leader prototypicality was low (b = 0.27; s.e.= 0.16; 95% CI: 0.04, 0.68), rather than high (b = 0.13; s.e.= 0.10; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.45). A proposal for extending the dimensions of identity-based leadership is discussed. This dissertation makes four significant contributions to theory and research on leadership. First, the main contribution of this research lies in showing that visionary leadership is more strongly positively related to team performance when leader prototypicality is low, rather than high. Second, this dissertation provides a contribution toward overcoming the fragmentation in the leadership literature by desegregating the literature on visionary leadership and leader-team prototypicality. Third, team goal monitoring as a mechanism that explains the interactive effects of visionary leadership and leader prototypicality on team performance was identified. Fourth, this study tests the postulated research model in Egypt, a culture that has in the past received scant attention.

He finds that Contracting Authorities can improve their performance and attract more suppliers by publishing (as precise as possible) starting prices in the beginning of a tender. First, he reports that compared with private-sector negotiations, starting prices do not create entry barriers in public procurement. Second, he finds that increased numerical precision of starting prices is linearly correlated with better performance and a higher number of bids. In public procurement, suppliers tend to attribute increased credibility to precise starting prices which reduces their (perceived) entry risks.

For technology addiction, researchers have developed a variety of self-reported scales in areas such as Internet, smartphones, videogames, social network sites (SNS) or television. However, no uniform criteria or definition exists for technology addiction. Utilized dimensions of technology addiction, to measure specific outcomes, lack a conceptual standard. Therefore, linkages between technology areas dimensions have not been examined in a broader way by the research community, in order to develop a uniform technology addiction scale. In this regard, firstly, a theoretical model was developed in order to extract common technology dimensions. Secondly, a systematic literature review in the areas of Internet, smartphone, video games and SNS was conducted in order to extract the dimensions used. To identify relevant studies, nine databases (GoogleScholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, EmeraldInsight, Wiley, SpringerLink, ACM, iEEE and JSTOR) were searched, producing 4698 results, and 50 studies met the inclusion criteria. Thirdly, the developed theoretical model was utilized in order to determine the dimension in each of the identified scales. Based on analysis of the dimensional distributions, the findings suggest that there are common dimensions across areas of technology such as “compulsive use” and “negative outcomes” but also differences in dimensions across areas such as “social comfort” and “mood regulation”, which are more used in the area of SNS. Moreover, new dimensions such as “cognitive absorption” or “utility and function loss" for technology addiction were extracted, which should be considered as these have not yet been researched in a broader way. In addition, no gold standard for the conceptual criteria or definition for technology addiction has been developed yet. N2 - Digitale Medien durchdringen immer mehr das alltägliche Leben. Dadurch entsteht die Sorge, dass sich verschiedene Formen von Technologiesucht für Menschen herausbilden. Dabei haben Forscher eine Vielzahl von Messinstrumenten in den Bereichen Internet, Smartphones, Videospiele, Social Network Sites (SNS) oder Fernsehen entwickelt, um Süchte zu messen. Jedoch gibt es keine einheitlichen Kriterien oder eine standardisierte Definition der Technologiesucht, um diese für spezifische Dimensionen zu erfassen. Dies ist einer der Gründe warum die Forschungsgemeinschaft die Zusammenhänge zwischen den einzelnen Dimensionen nicht weiter untersucht hat, um einheitliche Messinstrumente zu entwickeln. Aus diesem Grund hat diese Studie zunächst ein theoretisches Modell entwickelt, um gemeinsame technologische Dimensionen zu extrahieren. Danach wurde eine systematische Literaturrecherche in den Bereichen Internet, Smartphone, Videospiele und SNS durchgeführt, um die verwendeten Dimensionen zu ermitteln. Um relevante Studien zu identifizieren, wurden neun Datenbanken (GoogleScholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, EmeraldInsight, Wiley, SpringerLink, ACM, iEEE und JSTOR) durchsucht, die 4698 Ergebnisse lieferten. 50 dieser Messinstrumente haben die gesetzten Kriterien erfüllt. Darauffolgend ist das entwickelte theoretische Modell verwendet worden, um die Dimension in den 50 identifizierten Messinstrumenten zu bestimmen. Basierend auf der Analyse der dimensionalen Verteilung deuten die Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass es gemeinsame Dimensionen in Technologiebereichen wie z.B. "zwanghafte Nutzung" und "negative Ergebnisse” gibt. Aber es gibt auch Unterschiede in der Verteilung in den Dimensionen der Technologiebereiche. Zum Beispiel sind "sozialer Komfort" und "Stimmungsregulierung", im Bereich der SNS stärker vertreten. Zudem sind neue Dimensionen der Technologiesucht extrahiert worden. Zum Beispiel die "kognitive Absorption” oder der "Nutzen- und Funktionsverlust”, welche noch nicht breiter erforscht worden sind. Darüber hinaus ist noch kein Standard für die konzeptionellen Kriterien oder die Definition der Technologiesucht entwickelt worden.

T2 - CEPA Discussion Papers N2 - As the policy debate on entrepreneurship increasingly centers on firm growth in terms of job creation, it is important to better understand which variables influence the first hiring decision and which ones influence the subsequent survival as an employer. Using the German Socio-economic Panel (SOEP), we analyze what role individual characteristics of entrepreneurs play in sustainable job creation. While human and social capital variables positively influence the hiring decision and the survival as an employer in the same direction, we show that none of the personality traits affect the two outcomes in the same way. Some traits are only relevant for survival as an employer but do not influence the hiring decision, other traits even unfold a revolving door effect, in the sense that employers tend to fail due to the same characteristics that positively influenced their hiring decision.
