This study investigates the interrelationship between Knowledge Management (KM) and employee satisfaction and proposes strategic implementation steps for the further development and acceptance improvement of a new Operational Framework (Blueprint) at Robert Bosch GmbH, Power Electronics. Two primary research questions are addressed: (1) whether KM offers insights into and explanations for employee satisfaction issues, and (2) what strategic implementation steps can be derived for the development and acceptance of the Blueprint. The research commenced with an analysis of existing employee satisfaction surveys, supplemented by in-depth interviews, to understand the current state of employee satisfaction in the business unit undergoing transformation. The literature review was then conducted to ascertain the connection between KM and employee satisfaction. Subsequently, the study engaged in multiple interviews with top management in the Power Electronics business unit to identify implementation measures and best practices across various industries. A comprehensive set of practices was established and subsequently evaluated in a workshop involving line employees from the business unit, integrating theoretical findings with practical experiences. The final recommendations were grouped into three categories: Meeting Structure, Culture and Leadership, and Knowledge Management Guidance. The findings underscore the significance of KM in promoting employee satisfaction and suggest that the proposed strategic steps can foster the further development and acceptance of the Blueprint at Robert Bosch GmbH, Power Electronics.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, den Einfluss des Bewerbungsprozesses auf die
Entscheidung des Bewerbers zu untersuchen. Dazu wurden eine umfassende
Literaturrecherche und eine quantitative Studie in Form einer Umfrage durchgeführt.
Mithilfe eines standardisierten Fragebogens wurden die Probanden zum Einfluss des
Bewerbungsprozesses befragt. Die Ergebnisse der Studie konnten nachweisen, dass
der Bewerbungsprozess einen großen Einfluss auf die Entscheidung des Bewerbers
ausübt. Zusätzlich konnte der positive Einfluss einer guten Bewerbererfahrung auf die
Arbeitgeberattraktivität und die Weiterempfehlungsquote nachgewiesen werden. Des
Weiteren können positive Erfahrungen im Bewerbungsprozess dazu beitragen, den
Bewerber von einer Stelle zu überzeugen, die ansonsten vielleicht nicht seinen
Anforderungen entsprochen hätte. Dies zeigt, dass eine positive Bewerbererfahrung
die Entscheidung des Bewerbers positiv beeinflusst und er somit eher gewillt ist, ein
Stellenangebot anzunehmen. Auf dieser Grundlage ist es empfehlenswert, dass
Unternehmen den Bewerbern einen möglichst angenehmen Bewerbungsprozess
gewährleisten.
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems are enhancing the delivery of services and boosting productivity in a wide array of industries, from manufacturing to healthcare. However, IIoT devices are susceptible to cyber-threats such as the leaking of important information, products becoming compromised, and damage to industrial controls. Recently, blockchain technology has been used to increase the trust between stakeholders collaborating in the supply chain in order to preserve privacy, ensure the provenance of material, provide machine-led maintenance, etc. In all cases, such industrial blockchains establish a novel foundation of trust for business transactions which could potentially streamline and expedite economic processes to a significant extent. This paper presents an examination of “Schloss”, an industrial blockchain system architecture designed for multi-factory environments. It proposes an innovative solution to increase trust in industrial networks by incorporating a fairness concept as a subsystem of an industrial blockchain. The proposed mechanism leverages the concept of taxes imposed on blockchain nodes to enforce ethical conduct and discipline among participants. In this paper, we propose a game theory-based mechanism to address security and trust difficulties in industrial networks. The mechanism, inspired by the ultimatum game, progressively punishes malicious actors to increase the cost of fraud, improve the compensation system, and utilise the reward reporting capabilities of blockchain technology to further discourage fraudulent activities. Furthermore, the blockchain’s incentive structure is utilised to reduce collusion and speed up the process of reaching equilibrium, thereby promoting a secure and trustworthy environment for industrial collaboration. The objective of this paper is to address lack of trust among industrial partners and introduce a solution that brings security and trust to the forefront of industrial blockchain applications.
