These, in turn, stress communication, collaboration, and decision- making—areas in which Conversational Agents (CAs) have shown to be useful. Thus, in this work, we followed a mixed-method approach and systematically analysed the literature on factors affecting the well-being of clinicians and CAs’ potential to improve said well-being by relieving support in communication, collaboration, and decision-making in hospitals. In this respect, we are guided by Brigham et al. (2018)’s model of factors influencing well-being. Based on an initial number of 840 articles, we further analysed 52 papers in more detail and identified the influences of CAs’ fields of application on external and individual factors affecting clinicians’ well-being. As our second method, we will conduct interviews with clinicians and experts on CAs to verify and extend these influencing factors.

BT - an adversarial review JF - Journal of media psychology N2 - Research into the effects of social media on well-being often distinguishes “active” and “passive” use, with passive use supposedly more harmful to well-being (i.e., the passive use hypothesis). Recently, several studies and reviews have begun to question this hypothesis and its conceptual basis, the active/passive dichotomy. As this dichotomy has become a staple of social media research but evidence challenging its validity is mounting, a comprehensive debate on its pros, cons, and potential future is needed. This adversarial review brings together two voices – one more supportive, and the other more critical – toward the active/passive model. In constructive dialogue, we summarize and contrast our two opposing positions: The first position argues that the active/passive dichotomy is a useful framework because it adequately describes how and why passive use is (more) harmful for well-being. The second position challenges the validity of the dichotomy and the passive use hypothesis specifically. Arguments are presented alongside (a) the empirical basis, (b) conceptualization, and (c) operationalization of active and passive use, with particular focus on the passive use hypothesis. Rather than offering a conciliatory summary of the status quo, the goal of this review is to carve out key points of friction in the literature on the effects of social media through fruitful debate. We summarize our main agreements and unresolved disagreements on the merits and shortcomings of the active/passive dichotomy. In doing so, this review paves the way for researchers to decide whether and how they want to continue applying this lens in their future work.

W. T1 - Less is more! BT - The rationale behind the decision-making style of voluntary simplifiers JF - Journal of cleaner production N2 - Enhancing consumer satisfaction and well-being is an important objective of companies, retailers and public policy makers. In the current debate on climate change, a consistent theme is that consumers in developed countries must learn to consume less. The present study (based on representative data sets from the US, N = 1,017, and Germany, N = 1030) addresses these issues by using a scenario-based experiment to analyze how satisfied voluntary simplifiers (people who voluntarily abstain from consumption) are with their purchase decisions in the case of a muesli brand. The research question is whether people who follow a sustainable, simple lifestyle are more satisfied with their daily consumption choices than people who have a more consumerist lifestyle. If so, it would be easier for many people to change their lifestyles and consume less. In addition, this scenario experiment manipulates consumer empowerment and decision complexity since both factors are supposed to influence purchase satisfaction. The results are consistent across both countries and indicate that voluntary simplifiers experience a higher level of purchasing satisfaction than non-simplifiers, whereby empowerment and decision complexity play different roles.

Empowering leadership enhances the meaningfulness of work by fostering participation in decision-making, expressing confidence in high performance, and providing autonomy in target setting (Cheong, 2016). I examine how empowering leadership affects followers’ reflection. I used data from 528 individuals across 172 teams and found a positive relationship between empowering leadership and followers’ reflection. Followers’ reflection, in turn, is negatively associated with followers’ withdrawal, which mediates the beneficial effect of empowering leadership on leaders’ emotional exhaustion. As for the leaders, I propose that empowering leadership is negatively related also to leaders’ emotional exhaustion. This research broadens our understanding of empowering leadership's effects on both followers and leaders. Moreover, it integrates empowering leadership, leader emotional exhaustion, and burnout literature. Overall, empowering leadership strengthens members’ reflective attitudes and behaviors, which result in reduced withdrawal (and increased presence and contribution) in teams. Because the members contribute to team effort more, the leaders experience less emotional exhaustion. Hence, my work not only identifies new ways through which empowering leadership positively affects followers but also shows how these positive effects on followers benefit the leaders’ well-being. N2 - Diese Forschung konzentriert sich auf die Führungsstärke, ein Führungsstil teilt die Autonomie und Verantwortung mit den Mitarbeitern. Führungsstärke erhöht sich die Sinnhaftigkeit der Arbeit durch Beteiligungsförderung an Entscheidungsfindung, Ausdruck des Vertrauens in hohe Leistungen und Bereitstellung von Autonomie bei der Zielsetzung (Cheong, 2016). Ich untersuche, wie beeinflusst Führungsstärke auf die Reflexion der Mitarbeiter, Ich nahme die Daten von 528 Personen aus 172 Teams und fand eine positive Beziehung zwischen Führungsstärke und Reflexion der Mitarbeiter. Die Reflexion der Mitarbeiter, im Gegenzug, wiederum negativ mit dem Entzug der Mitarbeiter in Verbindung gebracht wird, was den positiven Wirkung von Stärkung der Führung auf die emotionale Erschöpfung der Führungskräfte vermittelt. Was die Führungskräfte angeht, so schlage ich vor, dass die Führungsstärke auch negativ mit der emotionalen Erschöpfung der Führungskräfte zusammenhängt. Diese Forschung erweitert unser Verständnis für die Stärkung der Auswirkungen von Führung auf Mitarbeiter und Führungskräfte. Darüber hinaus integriert es ermächtigende Führung, emotionale Erschöpfung von Führungskräften und Burnout-Literatur. Im Allgemeinen stärkt das Führungsstärke die reflektierenden Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen der Mitglieder, was zu reduziertem Entzug (und die Beteiligung und den Beitrag erhöhen) in Teams führt. Da die Mitglieder mehr zur Teamleistung beitragen, erleben die Führungskräfte weniger emotionale Erschöpfung. Daher identifiziert meine Arbeit nicht nur neue Wege, wie Führungsstärke positiv auf die Mitarbeiter beeinflusst, sondern zeigt auch, wie diese positiven Effekte auf Mitarbeiter den Führungskräften zugute kommen.

JF - The Journal of consumer affairs N2 - As a means to preserve present and future generations' living conditions, sustainable consumption presents a route to the enhanced well-being of individuals. However, the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic raises the question of whether society is going to continue down a path of increased awareness of sustainable consumption or whether the pandemic will move people to focus more on themselves. Based on data gathered before and near the end of the first pandemic lockdown in Germany in spring 2020, this research demonstrates that ecological, social, and voluntary simplicity consciousness deteriorated in the minds of sustainability-conscious consumers, with notable impacts on their willingness to spend sustainably and their shopping affinity. Furthermore, we identify segments that show particular vulnerability to the lockdown by reacting with a decrease in their ecological consumption consciousness. This study concludes with a discussion of the pandemic's implications for the spread of sustainable consumption styles and human well-being.
