With the increasing popularity of the home office model and the limited exploration of associated stressors necessitate a comprehensive investigation of potential drawbacks. This thesis embarks on an investigation of how the home office paradigm can be leveraged to alleviate distress, nurture mental well-being. Specifically, it delves into an analysis of five prominent stressors inherent in the home office context, identifying effective strategies for mitigating each one adeptly. The data and research in this thesis are drawn from existing literature on the work concept. The findings underscore the substantial influence of these stressors on employees’ mental health and productivity. However, specific measures to mitigate these challenges are identified and thoroughly expounded upon. This research provides valuable insights into optimizing the home office environment and promoting the holistic well-being of employees.
Reviewing Expats' perceptions on global leadership competencies: the case of multinationals in Asia
(2023)
In an era of increasing globalization, companies struggling with a leadership gap in Asia feel compelled to equip their leaders with global leadership competencies that meet international standards. Therefore, this paper clearly defines the role of the worldwide standard of global competencies and how it contributes to a company's human resource development program. We use a multinational company as a case study. Qualitative interviews were conducted to explore how expats perceive global leadership competencies in relation to global standards and the personnel development program. By reflecting on the staff development program concerning the standardized global leadership competencies, the case study can be beneficial for the company as opportunities for improvement of the development program were found, and approaches were presented on this basis.
Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit behandelt das Thema " Diversität als Bestandteil des Personalmarketings in mittelständischen Unternehmen". Der Fokus liegt auf den Herausforderungen, Chancen und Maßnahmen zur Integration von Diversität in die Personalmarketingstrategien dieser Unternehmen. Darüber hinaus werden die sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Faktoren erörtert, die Einfluss auf Diversitätsstrategien und Personalbeschaffung haben.
Der demografische Umbruch und seine gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen führen zu erheblichen Veränderungen. Denn die Veränderungen in der Altersspanne, die höhere Lebenserwartung und der kontinuierliche Wertewandel haben konkrete Auswirkungen auf die Wirtschaft. Dies zwingt Unternehmen dazu, ihre Ansätze anzupassen. Das Thema Diversitätsmanagement wird zunehmend wichtiger in den Organisationen. In dieser Arbeit soll die Bedeutung von Diversität im Rahmen des Personalmarketings in mittelständischen Unternehmen untersucht werden. Es wurde dazu eine qualitative Forschungsmethode angewandt, bei der vier Experten aus den Bereichen Personal und „Diversity & Inclusion“ befragt wurden. Aus den Ergebnissen der Experteninterviews geht hervor, dass Diversität in mittelständischen Unternehmen eine wesentliche Rolle spielt. Es wird jedoch auch deutlich, dass noch erhebliches Potenzial für weitere Fortschritte und Optimierungen in diesem Bereich vorhanden ist. Mit Blick auf die zunehmenden Herausforderungen im Personalwesen besteht die Anforderung, das Thema in die aktuellen Personalmarketingkonzepte in den Unternehmen zu implementieren.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, zum einen, alternative Entsendungsmöglichkeiten zu einem unternehmensinternen Transfer aufzuzeigen, sollte der Transfer durch nicht Erfüllung notwendiger Voraussetzungen, nicht zustande kommen können.
Diese Alternativen werden am Beispiel des Vereinigten Königreichs mit Bezug auf die Bizerba SE & Co. KG anhand mehrerer Kategorien untersucht. Es lässt sich als Ergebnis festhalten, dass sich manche Voraussetzungen eines unternehmensinternen Transfers ins Vereinigte Königreich umgehen lassen, jedoch lassen sich nicht alle Voraussetzungen umgehen.
Zum anderen ist es das Ziel, herauszufinden, inwiefern Vorteile und Effekte, die Mitarbeiter bei Entsendungen erlangen können, sich durch alternative Methoden erlernen lassen. Diese Methoden sollen ohne Entsendung bei der Führungsnachwuchsentwicklung anwendbar sein. Kompetenzen von Führungskräften und Expatriates werden hierbei miteinander verglichen, wodurch gemeinsame Kompetenzen und deren Entwicklung bei der Erstellung von möglichen Weiterbildungsmethoden näher betrachtet werden. Als Ergebnis lässt sich feststellen, dass sich Persönlichkeitseigenschaften und Fähigkeiten, die tendenziell bei Führungskräften zu finden sind und Mitarbeiter durch Entsendungen entwickeln können, teilweise durch alternative Methoden erlernen oder verbessern lassen. Die Effekte einer Entsendung lassen sich jedoch nicht in vollem Umfang ohne Entsendung replizieren.
The representation of female leaders in the STEM-field, especially the telecommunication industry, is rising in the 21st century. In contrast to men in leadership positions, there still exists an incongruity for female leaders, as the stereotypes associated with a leader correspond to those of a man. Therefore, women in leadership positions must decide between fulfilling their social role as being caring and warm, or to fulfil the leadership stereotype of being competent and dominant. To date, they cannot display their female side when in leadership positions, as the expectations one has about the ideal leader do not align with the emotional side of a woman.
The qualitative study is based on the classification of women and leaders in the Stereotype Content Model. The research is conducted in a telecommunication company. Therefor, employees of female leaders are interviewed about their perception of their leader. The findings of the research prove, that female leaders in the telecommunication industry are perceived against the female stereotypes. The findings show the female leaders are perceived rather male, meaning they are more competent than warm.
It is shown that female leaders must act against their social role, which has negative consequences for them. Consequences can be the avoidance of attempting to compete for certain roles, lower performance or social or economic punishment.
As the next generation, Generation Z, enters the workforce, companies face a new set of challenges. Companies will now be composed of four distinct generations, each with different beliefs, values, and ambitions. It is critical for companies to understand the motivations and aspirations of Generation Z in order to effectively attract and retain them as a workforce. This study focuses on exploring the career incentives and priorities of female Generation Z business students to gain unique insights into their goals and preferred incentives. First, an understanding of generational cohorts, specifically Generation Z, is established. A literature review is then conducted to provide an overview of existing research on Generation Z's popular career incentives. Using a qualitative research design, the study is designed and performed.
Through qualitative research, including interviews, key findings emerged. A competitive salary, career development, and growth opportunities are crucial. Meaningful work, workplace culture, and teamwork opportunities are of extremely high importance in the decision-making process. Additional financial benefits, retirement plans, and social and environmental responsibility are somewhat important; health and wellness, paid time off, and more vacation days are not considered decision-relevant. while other incentives in between.
This study has important implications for employers seeking to create a work environment that meets the dynamic career goals of Generation Z female business students. With this research contribution, companies can more effectively attract and keep the talent of this part of Generation Z.
Companies are progressively implementing remote work models to handle the evolving changes in economic, social, and technological environments and facilitate their business operations amidst these. Meaning more teams including multicultural ones are deployed to function on a virtual basis, during the course of their employment, or for a specific project.
Therefore, this thesis focuses on presenting the main challenges that these global virtual teams typically face and the practices to implement as a way to resolve them.
Data were obtained from both a literature study and interviews run with a total of six experts. Four of them being managers and two, employees so that varying perspectives on different organizational levels could be covered.
The findings emphasize that the virtual element significantly impacted communication, coordination, collaboration, and the social aspect. Hence teams and/or management need to dedicate more time to collectively decide on and elaborate a set of common guidelines, best practices, and tools to address this. Whilst maintaining openness and a sense of trust throughout, as incidents or interactions can come up that normally prompt unintended assumptions. For reoccurring issues or generally to ensure the team’s performance and well-being though, companies and/or top management need to regularly follow up and be prepared to intervene.
In the contemporary business landscape characterized by global economic uncertainty and rapid technological advancements, companies face increasing complexity in meeting their innovation targets. To address this challenge, established firms are engaging in collaborative partnerships with external entities, particularly startups, to leverage their knowledge and capabilities to gain a competitive advantage. Despite the growing popularity of corporate-startup collaboration (CSC), there remains a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the analysis of the dynamics and key success factors that are relevant to enhancing the collaborative process between these asymmetric entities. This study aims to fill this research space by investigating the dynamics, motives, objectives, and challenges of CSC, with a specific focus on identifying the success factors crucial for achieving favorable outcomes. Drawing upon insights from eight expert managers using a mixed-method approach, the study highlights the significance of addressing internal barriers and prioritizing key success factors to ensure successful outcomes in CSC. The research methodology involves a literature review, a pre-stage questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews to gather comprehensive data. The researchers have synthesized the findings to enhance an existing Co-Canvas model in a way that it is specifically tailored for CSC, thereby offering managers a practical framework to effectively navigate the complexities of CSC. The findings of this research hold implications for scholars, corporate leaders, and entrepreneurs, enabling them to evaluate past collaboration initiatives, identify potential sources of errors, and devise strategies to enhance their collaboration performance. By shedding light on the dynamics and success factors of CSC, this study contributes to the existing body of knowledge and offers valuable insights for strategically enhancing collaboration performance. However, the study refrains from making broad generalizations of the model due to the small sample size of experts.

Abstract
Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit gibt einen Überblick über die kritischen Erfolgsfaktoren digitalen Lernens. Dabei werden diese durch eine Literaturrecherche ermittelt und anschließend drei potenzielle kritische Erfolgsfaktoren (vorhandene digitale Kompetenzen; soziale Unterstützung der Vorgesetzten; empfundener Nutzen) durch eine schriftliche Befragung direkter Mitarbeiter am Boschstandort Ansbach- Brodswinden überprüft. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, kritische Erfolgsfaktoren digitalen Lernens für direkte Mitarbeiter zu ermitteln und somit die Forschungsfrage: „Welche kritischen Erfolgsfaktoren müssen bei der Implementierung digitalen Lernens für direkte Mitarbeiter berücksichtigt werden?“ zu beantworten. Hierfür wird überprüft, ob ein Zusammenhang zwischen den potenziellen Erfolgsfaktoren (vorhandene digitale Kompetenzen; soziale Unterstützung der Vorgesetzten; empfundener Nutzen) und der Nutzung digitaler Lernangebote besteht. Hingegen den Erwartungen, konnte statistisch nur soziale Unterstützung als kritischer Erfolgsfaktor bestätigt werden, während vorhandene digitale Kompetenzen und empfundener Nutzen, keinen signifikanten Zusammenhang mit der Nutzung aufwiesen.
Abstract
This bachelor thesis provides an overview of the critical success factors of digital learning. In doing so, these are identified through a literature review and then three potential critical success factors (existing digital competencies; social support from superiors; perceived benefits) are examined through a written survey of direct employees at the Bosch plant in Ansbach-Brodswinden. The aim of this paper is to identify critical success factors of digital learning for direct employees and thus to answer the research question: "Which critical success factors need to be considered when implementing digital learning for direct employees?". For this purpose, it is examined whether there is a correlation between the potential success factors (existing digital competencies; social support from superiors; perceived benefits) and the use of digital learning. Contrary to expectations, only social support was statistically confirmed as a critical success factor, while existing digital competencies and perceived benefits showed no significant correlation with usage.
