Econometric analyses for the labor market in Egypt (2016)
Abdelgouad, Ahmed Fayez
In addition to a short introduction, this thesis contains five chapters that discuss various topics in the context of labor economics in general and the manufacturing sector in Egypt in particular. Chapter one presents the institutional framework of the Egyptian labor market and the different datasets that could be used by researchers and summarizes some previous empirical studies. Then, different microeconometric methods are applied in the subsequent four chapters, using the World Bank firm-level data for the manufacturing sector in Egypt to get an empirical evidence for the following issues: determinants of using fixed-term contracts in the Egyptian labor market in the manufacturing sector in chapter two, determinants of female employment in Egyptian manufacturing firms in chapter three, ownership structure and productivity in the Egyptian manufacturing firms in chapter four and, finally, exporting behavior of the Egyptian manufacturing firms is analyzed with a special focus on the impact of workforce skills-intensity in chapter five.
Mindsets and the effectiveness of negotiation training (2018)
Ade, Valentin
In this cumulative thesis, I present four manuscripts and two appendixes. In the manuscripts I discuss mindsets and their relation to the effectiveness of negotiation training. My general claim is that mindsets promise to be relevant for training effectiveness. Still, more research needs to be done and my co-authors of chapter 3 and I present the Scale for the Integrative Mindset of Negotiators (SIM) that can be used for some of that research. In the appendixes, I present two negotiation training exercises. The first addresses an international refugee policy summit and the second a negotiation over the sale of a large solar pv park in Thailand.
Beratungsqualität von Reisebüromitarbeitern als strategischer Erfolgsfaktor für den stationären Vertrieb (2008)
Baumgärtner, Regina M.
Einhergehend mit politischen, naturbezogenen und konjunkturellen Herausforderungen der Tourismusbranche sehen sich Reisebüros auch im Wettbewerb mit neuen Medien. Beratungsqualität im Face-to-Face Vertrieb muss sich in diesem Zusammenhang der Diskussion stellen, womit traditionelle, konzern-eigene Reisebüros ihre Existenzberechtigung behalten. Die Erfassung persönlicher Faktoren im Gespräch, die weichen Erfolgsfaktoren in Bezug zu Beratungsqualität von Reisebüromitarbeitern, stehen im zentralen Forschungsinteresse. Die daraus resultierenden Fragenstellungen lauten unter anderem: Welche Softskills der Reisebüromitarbeiter sind notwendig, um ein gutes Beratungsgespräch zu führen? Lassen sich Softskills von Reisebüromitarbeitern methodisch erfassen? Was unterscheidet umsatzstarke von umsatzschwachen Beratern in der Reisevermittlung? Die Zielsetzung ist ein innovatives und adaptives Konzept zur Steigerung der Beratungsqualität von Reisebüromitarbeitern und damit zur Erfolgsicherung konzerngesteuerter Reisebüros. Zur Konkretisierung wurde die SERVQUAL-Methode ausgewählt, da sie sich durch eine Doppelskala auszeichnet, um die Lücke zwischen erwarteter und wahrgenommener Beratungsqualität zu messen. Dies bedeutete jedoch auch, dass die Probanden zu jeder gestellten Frage zwei unterschiedliche Antworten geben mussten. Eine zur tatsächlich erlebten, wahrgenommenen Qualität, in dieser Arbeit zur Beratungsqualität und eine zu den subjektiven Erwartungen an die eigene Leistung. Die Mitarbeiterbeurteilung der Beratungsqualität erfolgte durch die SERVQUAL Dimensionen Annehmlichkeit des tangiblen Umfeldes, Zuverlässigkeit, Reaktionsfähigkeit, Leistungskompetenz, Einfühlungsvermögen und wurde um die Dimension Kommunikationsfähigkeit ergänzt. Grund hierfür ist, von Reisebüromitarbeiter werden gleichzeitiges kunden- und auch umsatzorientiertes Arbeiten erwartet. Sie haben dabei einen hohen Anspruch zu erfüllen. Neben dem fachlichen Wissen sind Fähigkeiten in der verbalen und nonverbalen Kommunikation ebenso notwendig wie eine nach innen (zum Konzern, dem Büro und den Kollegen) und nach außen (kundenorientierte) gerichtete Kommunikation. Dies ließ eine Erweiterung des SERVQUALS um Kommunikation für nötig erscheinen. Im weiteren Verlauf wurden auch Schulungen der Reisebüromitarbeiter, in Ergänzung zu früheren Voruntersuchungen, mit einbezogen. Das gewählten SERVQAUL-Verfahren wie auch die Faktorenanalyse boten sich für die vorliegenden Fragestellungen zu den Schlüsselfaktoren der Mitarbeiter geradezu an und haben zu umfangreichen Erkenntnissen geführt. Voraussetzung der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse waren einerseits theoretische Analysen zur Beratungsqualität im Vorfeld, Würdigung bisheriger Untersuchungen des Reisebürovertriebes und die dargestellte empirische Forschung. In der Voruntersuchung wurden die unabgesicherten und subjektiv orientierungsweisende Meinungen der Praktiker hinzugezogen. Konkretisierend zeigt das Ergebnis des mehrjährigen Forschungsprojektes eine eher langfristige Entwicklung der Beratungsqualität von Reisebüromitarbeitern auf. Die Bemühung lag darin, Verbindungen zwischen praktischem Knowhow und Idealvorstellungen von Beratungsqualität mit den Theorien der Wirtschaftswissenschaften zwecks Erkenntnisfortschrittes zu finden.
Computerized assistance in online mental health treatment (2020)
Becker, Dennis
The wide accessibility of the Internet and web-based programs enable an increased volume of online interventions for mental health treatment. In contrast to traditional face-to-face therapy, online treatment has the potential to overcome some of the barriers such as improved geographical accessibility, individual time planning, and reduced costs. The availability of clients’ treatment data fuels research to analyze the collected data to obtain a better understanding of the relationship among symptoms in mental disorders and derive outcome and symptom predictions. This research leads to predictive models that can be integrated into the online treatment process to assist clinicians and clients. This dissertation discusses different aspects of the development of predictive modeling in online treatment: Categorization of predictive models, data analyses for predictive purposes, and model evaluation. Specifically, the categorization of predictive models and barriers against the uptake of mental health treatment are discussed in the first part of this dissertation. Data analysis and predictive modeling are emphasized in the second part by presenting methods for inference and prediction of mood as well as the prediction of treatment outcome and costs. Prediction of future and current mood can be beneficial in many aspects. Inference of users’ mood levels based on unobtrusive measures or diary data can provide crucial information for intervention scheduling. Prediction of future mood can be used to assess clients’ response to the treatment and expected treatment outcome. Prediction of the expected treatment costs and outcomes for different treatment types allows simultaneous optimization of these objectives and to increase the cost-effectiveness of the treatment. In the third part, a systematic predictive model evaluation incorporating simulation analyses is demonstrated and a method for model parameter estimation for computationally limited devices is presented. This dissertation aims to overcome the current challenges of predictive model development and its use in online treatment. The development of predictive models for varies data collected in online treatment is demonstrated and how these models can be applied in practice. The derived results contribute to computer science and mental health research with client individual data analysis, the development ofpredictive models, and their statistical evaluation.
Monitoring and improving mental health with internet- and mobile-based approaches (2017)
Beiwinkel, Till
Internet- and mobile technologies are increasingly used to deliver mental health care. E-Mental Health is promising for the prevention and treatment of mental disorders, in particular due to its wide population access, a low threshold, the active role of the client, lower costs compared to traditional care, and the possibility to integrate interventions in real-world settings. However, while E-Mental Health was shown to be an effective treatment tool, fewer studies investigated the prevention of mental health problems with E-Mental Health approaches. In a series of three studies, this dissertation examines internet- and mobile-based approaches for the early monitoring and supporting of mental health. First, a pilot study investigates the use of smartphone data as collected by daily self-reports and sensor information for the self-monitoring of bipolar disorder symptoms. It was found that some, but not all smartphone measurements predicted clinical symptoms of mania and depression, indicating that smartphones could be used as an earlywarning system for patients with bipolar disorder. Second, a randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of an internet-based intervention among persons with depression and sickness absence. The intervention was found to be effective in reducing depressive symptoms compared to a control group, suggesting that the internet can provide effective support for people with sickness absence due to depression. Third, a study protocol proposes to combine self-monitoring with a mobile intervention to support mental health in daily life. Supportive self-monitoring will be evaluated in a fully mobile randomized controlled trial among a sample of smartphone users with psychological distress. If supportive self-monitoring on the basis of a smartphone application is effective, it could be widely distributed to monitor and support mental health on a population level. Finally, the contribution of the presented studies to current research topics in E-Mental Health is discussed.
Entrepreneurship in developing countries : action-oriented entrepreneurship training and its tole for capital requirements in business creation (2015)
Bischoff, Kim Marie
Entrepreneurship is an important means for economic development and poverty alleviation . Due to the relevance of entrepreneurship, scholars call for research that contributes to the understanding of successful business creation. In order to best understand new venture creation, research needs to investigate barriers of entrepreneurship. A barrier that has received wide attention in the literature on new venture creation is capital requirements. Scholars argue that capital requirements are an entry barrier for new venture creation, as most people who start businesses have difficulties in acquiring the necessary amount of capital needed for starting the businesses. Particularly in developing countries, scholars and practitioners regard improvements in access to capital as a major solution to support new venture creation. However, besides improving access to capital, there are alternative solutions that help to deal with the problems of capital requirements and capital constraints in the process of new venture creation. In this dissertation, I argue that a possible means to master capital requirements and capital constraints in business creation is action-oriented entrepreneurship training. I draw on actionregulation theory (Frese & Zapf, 1994), theories supporting an interactionist approach (Endler & Edwards, 1986; Terborg, 1981) and on theories about career development (Arthur, 1994; Briscoe & Hall, 2006) to reason that action-oriented entrepreneurship training allows for handling capital requirements and capital constraints with regard to business creation. Specifically, I argue that action-oriented entrepreneurship training helps to deal with financial requirements and capital constraints in two ways: First, the training reduces the negative effect of capital constraints on business creation through the development of financial mental models. Second, the training supports finding employment and receiving employment income, which enable businesses creation.
Analysis of user behavior (2020)
Boubekki, Ahcène
Online behaviors analysis consists of extracting patterns from server-logs. The works presented here were carried out within the “mBook” project which aimed to develop indicators of the quantity and quality of the learning process of pupils from their usage of an eponymous electronic textbook for History. In this thesis, we investigate several models that adopt different points of view on the data. The studied methods are either well established in the field of pattern mining or transferred from other fields of machine learning and data-mining. We improve the performance of archetypal analysis in large dimensions and apply it to unveil correlations between visibility time of particular objects in the e-textbook and pupils’ motivation. We present next two models based on mixtures of Markov chains. The first extracts users’weekly browsing patterns. The second is designed to process essions at a fine resolution, which is sine qua non to reveal the significance of scrolling behaviors. We also propose a new paradigm for online behaviors analysis that interprets sessions as trajectories within the page-graph. In this respect, we establish a general framework for the study of similarity measures between spatio-temporal trajectories, for which the study of sessions is a particular case. Finally, we construct two centroid-based clustering methods using neural networks and thus lay the foundations for unsupervised behaviors analysis using neural networks. Keywords: online behaviors analysis, educational data mining, Markov models, archetypal analysis, spatio-temporal trajectories, neural network
Assessing the stock performance outcomes, antecedents and preventive measures of organizational misconduct (2022)
Bouzzine, Yassin Denis
This doctoral thesis deals with the topic of organizational misconduct and covers the three salient research streams in this area by addressing its performance outcomes, antecedents, and preventive measures. Specifically, it is concerned with the question of how different forms of misconduct are reflected in the stock performance of related organizations, thereby, covering the three pillars of corporate sustainability environmental, social, and governance (ESG). Furthermore, it aims to conceptualize how individual cognitive biases may lead to misconduct, therefore, potentially representing an antecedent and how existing management control systems can be enhanced to effectively address specific forms of misconduct, respectively. To these ends, I first review the research stream of stock price reactions to environmental pollution events in terms of the underlying research samples, methodological specifications, and theoretical underpinnings. Based on the findings of the systematic literature review (SLR), I perform three stock-based event studies of the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal (Dieselgate), workplace sexual harassment (#MeToo accusations), and the 2003 blackout in the US to cove the three ESG dimensions, respectively. In line with the SLR, my event studies reveal substantial stock losses to firms involved in misconduct that are eventually even accompanied by a spillover effect to uninvolved bystanders. Then, I review the extant literature conceptually to develop a framework outlining how moral licensing as an individual cognitive bias might lead to a self-attribution of corporate sustainability, a consecutive accumulation of moral credit, and a later exchange of this credit by engaging in misconduct afterward. Finally, I assess existing workplace sexual harassment management controls, such as awareness training and grievance procedures critically in another conceptual analysis. Based on the shortcomings stemming from management controls’ focus on compliance and negligence of moral duties, I introduce five specific nudges firms should consider to enhance their existing management controls and eventually prevent occurrences of workplace sexual harassment. Based on the six distinct articles within this doctoral thesis, I outline its limitations and point at directions for future research. These mainly address providing further evidence on the long-term performance effects of organizational misconduct, enriching our knowledge on further cognitive biases eventually leading to misconduct, and conceptualizing nudging beyond the use-case of workplace sexual harassment.
Die Einführung der fachkundigen Stellungnahme bei der Ich-AG (2006)
Braakmann, Nils
Diese Studie untersucht die Wirkung einer verpflichtenden externen Begutachtung von Gründungsvorhaben im Rahmen der Ich-AG-Förderung der Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Unter Verwendung von prozessproduzierten Daten zu den Gründern und ihren Vorhaben wird geprüft, inwieweit sich Unterschiede zwischen Gründern im Arbeitsagenturbezirk Lüneburg, die unter diese Regelung fallen und solchen, die dies nicht tun, ergeben. Die Ergebnisse der Studie deuten darauf hin, dass keine Unterschiede in beobachtbaren Merkmalen zwischen diesen Gründern bestehen, was ein Hinweis auf die Wirkungslosigkeit der externen Begutachtung sein kann.
The systemic role of universities in entrepreneurship: from entrepreneurial ecosystem dynamics tot he emergence of entrepreneurial university archetypes (2022)
Bronstein Bejarano, Johann Daniel
Understanding that entrepreneurship can be better modeled from a systemic point of view is a primordial aspect that determines the important role of universities in entrepreneurial ecosystems. What makes the ecosystem approach a valuable tool for understanding social systems is that, from a holistic perspective, their behavior seems to have emerging characteristics. The impact of this “research object” can only be revealed through interrelated causal chains similar to the behavior of natural ecosystems (Mars et al., 2012). Therefore, the entrepreneurial ecosystem concept provides a unique perspective that complements previous studies on networked economic activity with a clear focus on the systemic elements that support entrepreneurship, and an emphasis on policy that promote the entrepreneurial process. This dissertation presents a dual scientific account of the entrepreneurship phenomenon in universities. The work is divided into two equal parts, each of which is composed of two research papers. The narrative of the first half takes on a macro perspective view, consisting of one theoretical and one empirically-based conceptual case study. This part conceptually depicts a systematic approach to entrepreneurialism in higher education, namely an ecosystems perspective. The second half concentrates on the meso- and micro levels of study from the university’s point of view, comprising of a case study as historical account for the emergence of the entrepreneurial university, and of a metasynthesis of empirical case studies in entrepreneurial universities, which serves as the basis for the development of entrepreneurial university archetypes. This doctoral work contributes to an in-depth understanding of Entrepreneurship in universities regarding its systemic qualities and archetypal characteristics of entrepreneurial universities. It argues for an ecosystem’s perspective on the phenomenon of entrepreneurial activity, highlighting the fundamental role that universities play as the heart of entrepreneurial ecosystems. Furthermore, this research expands on the novel concept of the entrepreneurial university by using extensive case study literature to empirically identify distinct archetypes that better reflect the diverse reality of how universities engage as entrepreneurial actors by way of differentiated entrepreneurial structures, systems, and strategies.
