Mehr als nur Überleben — Anerkennung und Selbstbehauptung

More than survive — acknoledgement and self-assertiveness. Coaching for feministic researchers The need for coaching for feminist women academics arises from the unfavourable conditions of their employment at Universities. This relates, in particular, to the conditions which are important for professional ?power“ such as the need for acknowledgement and the opportunity for assertiveness. Group coaching for women, in this case, serves to strengthen women’s belief in themselves which then becomes a resource and a basis for self-assertiveness. Solidarity and a long-term career perspective are indispensable.     

Das Geschäft mit der Gewalt

The business with acts of violence. Why the ?disarmament in TV“ does not advance?Media politics and media industry form a fatal alliance by preventing that there are serious limits to presentations of acts of violence in the media. The media lobby is up to now successful in preventing that real conclusions are drawn from the scientific findings of independent researchers on the effects of media violence. The profit of the media industry is more important than the mental health of children and adolescents. The author delineates the consequences for politics, pedagogics and the media industry with some uncomfortable, but effective recommendations.     

Arbeit mit dem „Inneren Team“ als imaginative Methode im Coaching

This case report shows that in particular cases, however, coaching may be indicated: When training measures do not succeed and it can be suspected that mental barriers are the reason for this failure.

Containing als Führungsaufgabe in Zeiten der Unternehmensveränderung

Globalization and its pressure for change poses increasing challenges to managers and employees. But unlike technical processes, the phases of mental development required in human beings cannot be accelerated at will. On the emotional level, it is therefore about dealing with increasing expectations, frustration and interpersonal tensions. It requires a practicable approach to work with emotionally stressed situations, such as the container-container model. The paper examines the effectiveness of the model in the organizational life with regard to change and executive recruitment.     

Qualität in der Arbeit mit Freiwilligen Ein Management-Erfahrungsbericht

Developing quality in the co-operation with volunteers. A report on a management experience The contribution of volunteers has changed on a structural level in Germany during the last two decades. Treffpunkt Hilfsbereitschaft, the volunteer agency of Berlin, has developed and supported this phase through a new kind of quality policy and by taking over the role of a cultural change agent.

Neu auf dem Lehrstuhl Hochschullehrer/innen als Führungskräfte

New on the professorial chair. University professors as leadersWhen taking over a professorship, young scientists face a lot of new tasks, especially tasks of leadership for which they usually do not possess any knowledge nor experience.

Betriebsinterne Arbeitsmärkte, Hierarchien und Neueinstellungen: Eine empirische Untersuchung mit Personaldaten

Many empirical studies which deal with internal labour markets are related to the work of Doeringer and Piore (1971). The majority of these studies cannot find closed internal labour markets with entry positions at the lower end of a firm’s hierarchy. Most of these studies, however, use data from financial and service industries, managerial or other white-collar workers. Doeringer and Piore (1971) state that closed internal labour markets with clearly defined entry positions should be found especially for blue-collar workers in the manufacturing industry, because firm specific human capital is of large importance in these industries. In this paper, a large data set of a manufacturing company with blue-collar and white-collar workers is used. We show that the internal labour market of blue-collar workers is more closed than that of white-collar workers. Moreover, we find that firm specific human capital plays a major role in determining the hierarchical position of blue-collar workers. Entries of white-collar workers, however, appear at all hierarchical positions. Furthermore, formal education plays a major role in allocating the white-collar workers.     

Führungskulturen an der Universität: Feedbackinstrumente als Schlüssel zur Personalentwicklung

Management culture at German universities. Guided feedback as an instrument to develop leadership skills In future, universities will be fundamentally more exposed to national and international competition than they are today. The challenges for Germany’s universities arising from this are increased by the reform pressure towards a modernization of the governmental administration. On grounds of these new tasks and challenges, inner-organizational changes as well as the development of a leadership responsibility and further training of the employees’ social skills are necessary. Therefore up-to-date personnel development belongs to a university’s modernization program. At the Berlin University of Technology appraisals by subordinates are practiced in order to design a fair leadership culture. The crucial factor for this is the professor’s and administration manager’s identification with their leadership role. For a further process consultation the adoption of coaching is recommended.     

Was hat die „neue Flexibilität“ mit Angst zu tun?

The ?new flexibility“ and anxiety The author postulates a high level of anxiety developing with the contemporary social demands on individuals for a maximum of flexibility. We have to take leave of traditional forms of organization, of proved routines, as well as of an individual professional biography and of conventional views of work and professional conditions.     

„Er ist als Wissenschaftler eine Niete und hat sich deshalb der Universitätspolitik verschrieben“

In the university three cultures are converging, as illustrated in the film “The Campus”: the “old” culture of the savant who is interested in truth, painted in a idealized manner; the “new” culture of the politicized group university, painted in a satirical manner, and the culture of neutral rules of law, represented in the administration. Science, politics and law could inspire each other, but for it a power would be needed which could connect them with their properties. Because of the absence of this power, a continuous politicization of the university develops which loses their identity as organization of science and his cultural core.
