    Managers perception of hospital employees’ effort-reward imbalance
    (BioMed Central, 2023) Heming, Meike; Siegrist, Johannes; Erschens, Rebecca; Genrich, Melanie; Hander, Nicole R.; Junne, Florian; Küllenberg, Janna; Müller, Andreas; Worringer, Britta; Angerer, Peter
    Abstract Objective Hospitals are frequently associated with poor working conditions that can lead to work stress and increase the risk for reduced employee well-being. Managers can shape and improve working conditions and thereby, the health of their teams. Thus, as a prerequisite, managers need to be aware of their employees’ stress levels. This study had two objectives: At first, it aimed to test the criterion validity of the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) questionnaire measuring psychosocial workload in hospital employees. Secondly, mean scales of the ERI questionnaire filled in by employees were compared with mean scales of an adapted ERI questionnaire, in which managers assessed working conditions of their employees. Methods Managers (n = 141) from three hospitals located in Germany assessed working conditions of their employees with an adapted external, other-oriented questionnaire. Employees (n = 197) of the mentioned hospitals completed the short version of the ERI questionnaire to assess their working conditions. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were applied to test factorial validity, using the ERI scales for the two study groups. Criterion validity was assessed with multiple linear regression analysis of associations between ERI scales and well-being among employees. Results The questionnaires demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties in terms of internal consistency of scales, although some indices of model fit resulting from CFA were of borderline significance. Concerning the first objective, effort, reward, and the ratio of effort-reward imbalance were significantly associated with well-being of employees. With regard to the second objective, first tentative findings showed that managers’ ratings of their employees’ effort at work was quite accurate, whereas their reward was overestimated. Conclusions With its documented criterion validity the ERI questionnaire can be used as a screening tool of workload among hospital employees. Moreover, in the context of work-related health promotion, managers’ perceptions of their employees’ workload deserve increased attention as first findings point to some discrepancies between their perceptions and those provided by employees.

    Insights from a multi-method assessment of collaborative engagement in student group
    (27.09.2024) Jeitziner, Loris Tizian; Paneth, Lisa; Rack, Oliver; Wulff, Dirk U.; Zahn, Carmen
    We investigate the Quality of Collaborative Group Engagement (QCGE) in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) employing a multimethod approach. Analyzing 38 triad groups the study combines advanced methods such as video analysis (verbal and nonverbal behavior self assessment, trained observer ratings, and natural language processing (NLP )). The results produced key insights into QCGE . First, t he observer rating s and self assessments exhibited limited variance and considerable skewness in most QCGE dimensions , significantly limiting their usefulness. Second, no nverbal behavior s and linguistic markers extracted using NLP showed small to moderate correlations with QCGE ratings, suggesting opportunities for measuring QCGE in an automatized fashion . Our study emphasizes the importance of multimethod approaches for understanding QCGE and highlights a potential to refine these methodologies using artificial intelligence to increase the accuracy and reliability of QCGE assessment.

    Beyond words: investigating non-verbal indicators of collaborative engagement in a virtual synchronous CSCL environment
    (Frontiers Research Foundation, 14.08.2024) Jeitziner, Loris Tizian; Paneth, Lisa; Rack, Oliver; Zahn, Carmen
    In the future of higher education, student learning will become more virtual and group-oriented, and this new reality of academic learning comes with challenges. Positive social interactions in virtual synchronous student learning groups are not self-evident but need extra support. To successfully support positive social interactions, the underlying group processes, such as collaborative group engagement, need to be understood in detail, and the important question arises: How can collaborative group engagement be assessed in virtual group learning settings? A promising methodological approach is the observation of students’ non-verbal behavior, for example, in videoconferences. In an exploratory field study, we observed the non-verbal behavior of psychology students in small virtual synchronous learning groups solving a complex problem via videoconferencing. The groups were videorecorded to analyze possible relations between their non-verbal behaviors and to rate the quality of collaborative group engagement

    Erhöhung sozialer Eingebundenheit in digitalen Lernsettings – Reicht die Einführung einer digitalen Lernplattform aus?
    (Forum Neue Medien in der Lehre Austria, 2024) Merz, Nora; Rack, Oliver; Schlatter, Monika
    Die digitale Transformation führt an Hochschulen zum vermehrten Einsatz digital unterstützter Lernsettings. Dadurch stellt sich die praxisrelevante Frage, wie sich die Einführung einer digitalen Lernplattform auf die soziale Eingebundenheit von Studierenden auswirkt. Durch Interviews (N=10) und eine Fragebogenerhebung (N=35) wurde untersucht, welchen Einfluss technische Features einer digitalen Lernplattform auf die soziale Eingebundenheit in einem Studiengang besitzen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass nicht die technischen Features allein, sondern die Rahmenbedingungen einer digitalen Lernplattform sowie Kontaktangebote von Bedeutung für die soziale Eingebundenheit von Studierenden sind. Ergebnisse und Handlungsempfehlungen werden diskutiert.

    Future Skills – Zukunftsorientierte Hochschullehre
    (Springer, 2024) Zahn, Carmen
    ZusammenfassungIn diesem Theoriebeitrag der Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie wird ein wissenschaftliches Erklärungsmodell für die Wirksamkeit psychodramatischer Methoden in der Hochschullehre entwickelt. Eine zukunftsfähige Hochschullehre, die bei Studierenden neben dem Erlernen komplexer Wissens- und Handlungszusammenhänge auch mit fundierten Methoden die Kreativität, Innovationsfreude und „Future skills“ fördert, ist wichtiger denn je.

    Affect in science communication: a data-driven analysis of TED Talks on YouTube
    (Springer, 2024) Fischer, Olivia; Jeitziner, Loris Tizian; Wulff, Dirk U.
    Science communication is evolving: Increasingly, it is directed at the public rather than academic peers. Understanding the circumstances under which the public engages with scientific content is therefore crucial to improving science communication. In this article, we investigate the role of affect on audience engagement with a modern form of science communication: TED Talks on the social media platform YouTube. We examined how two aspects of affect, valence and density are associated with public engagement with the talk in terms of popularity (reflecting views and likes) and polarity (reflecting dislikes and comments). We found that the valence of TED Talks was associated with both popularity and polarity: Positive valence was linked to higher talk popularity and lower talk polarity. Density, on the other hand, was only associated with popularity: Higher affective density was linked to higher popularity—even more so than valence—but not polarity. Moreover, the association between affect and engagement was moderated by talk topic, but not by whether the talk included scientific content. Our results establish affect as an important covariate of audience engagement with scientific content on social media, which science communicators may be able to leverage to steer engagement and increase reach.

    Hybride Arbeit und soziale Roboter – was bedeutet das für uns als soziale Wesen?
    (14.09.2023) Schulze, Hartmut
    - Der «soziale Faktor» gerät «unter Druck» … - Die Flexibilisierung der Arbeit kann zu einer Reduktion sozialer Interaktion und zu einer abnehmenden sozialen Verbundenheit führen - dies kann durch einen passenden Mix an Arbeitsorten und Büroraumgestaltung kompensiert werden - die Kommunikation mit Konversationsagenten wie Chatbots und sozialen Robotern kann ebenfalls zu vermehrtem «Machine Talk» führen und die Verbundenheit zwischen Menschen reduzieren. - positiv zu Buche schlagen Möglichkeiten der Selbsterkenntnis und der Verfügbarkeit von Wissen - Aufgabe angewandter Forschung und Entwicklung: die verschiedenen Wirkrichtungen analysieren und Anforderungen an eine «menschengerechte» Gestaltung organisationaler und technischer Bedingungen und Artefakte erarbeiten
