    A flexible, extendable and adaptable model to support AI coaching
    (Springer, 2023) Duhan, Ritu; Pande, Charuta; Martin, Andreas; Hinkelmann, Knut; López-Pellicer, Francisco J.; Polini, Andrea
    We present a model based on coaching definitions, concepts, and theories to support AI coaching. The model represents the evidence-based coaching practice in different coaching domains by identifying the common elements in the coaching process. We then map the elements of the coaching model with Conversational AI design and development strategies to highlight how an AI coach can be instantiated from the model. We showcase the instantiation through an example use case of an HIV coaching chatbot.

    Domain-specific conceptual modeling. Concepts, methods and ADOxx tools
    (Springer, 2022) Karagiannis, Dimitris; Lee, Moonkun; Hinkelmann, Knut; Utz, Wilfrid
    This book demonstrates the significance of domain-specific conceptual modeling through new research and development approaches that are manifested in each of the chapters. They include novel modelling methods and tools that emphasize the recent results accomplished and their adequacy to assess specific aspects of a domain.

    Predictors of workplace satisfaction. Working onsite versus working from home
    (Springer Cham, 2024) Wittmann, Xinhua; Klyushina, Daria; Hinkelmann, Knut; Smuts, Hanlie
    The Covid-19 pandemic has not only taught us about viral infections, but also provided employers with unique opportunities to experiment with different work modes. What leads employees to be more satisfied: working onsite or working from home? The aim of this paper is to elucidate how the work environment impacts workplace satisfaction. In the framework of Herzberg’s motivation theory, we define the physical, digital, and social environment as the most important hygiene factors. In our study, we investigate the relationship between these hygiene factors and workplace satisfaction. Based on the survey data from office workers in Switzerland, we identify the predictors of workplace satisfaction for working onsite and working from home respectively. Our statistical analysis shows that the three hygiene factors have a significant positive impact on workplace satisfaction both for working onsite and working from home. Specifically, the workplace design in the context of the physical environment stands out to have the strongest effect on the workplace satisfaction for onsite work. In contrast, for working from home, the software availability in the context of the digital environment exerts the greatest influence on workplace satisfaction. Thus, workplace satisfaction can be maximized by targeted optimization of specific aspects of the work environment depending on the work mode.

    Modelling Transformation of Corporate Communications in the Digital Age
    (Springer, 2021) Göldi, Susan; Kraft, Corin; Vitacco, Jacqueline; Gerber, Aurona; Hinkelmann, Knut
    This article provides a brief overview on transformative trends in corporate communications based on a literature review. Furthermore, it presents a framework model on how to transform corporate communications in the digital age. The model is based on a grounded theory approach derived in a field study completed in 2015, which claims that more heterarchical structures in corporate communications are needed. In a subsequent project, the model is tested in an ongoing exploratory study. Based on the learnings from the two studies, we suggest a new model on how to organize corporate communications in the digital age. At the center of the new model are written and audio-visual content, created by associates in a collaborative process and supported by the organization.

    Design parameters of multidimensional reward system based on preference analysis of students of business information systems at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland
    (Springer, 2021) Heimsch, Fabian; Lüthi, Erhard; Gerber, Aurona; Hinkelmann, Knut
    In Switzerland, there is currently a major shortage of skilled workers in many companies and organisations. A particular bottleneck can be seen in the area of IT professions. The lack of qualified employees is a challenge for future education and training and intensifies the current competition for today's necessary and urgently sought talent in the IT sector. In this context, it will be crucial in the future how attractive and individualized compensation systems can be designed for potential employees. Needs-based compensation packages should help to attract and ultimately retain future IT professionals. The aim of this study is to measure the preferences of students of business informatics at the FHNW to analyse which elements of total rewards management are crucial for the choice of a future employer. The results will help companies optimise the total rewards system according to their needs or include those factors that can be expected to provide the best benefits for future employees. Thus, not only the total monetary value, but also the composition of financial and non-financial elements must be included in this overall consideration.The aim is to provide decision-makers in organisations with targeted information that will allow them to design optimal incentive packages to be an attractive employer for students of business informatics or potential employees in the informatics field.

    Flexible workforce management. An exploratory study
    (Open Education Platform, 2021) Vogel, Christoph; Schaltegger, Christina; Zölch, Martina; Gerber, Aurona; Hinkelmann, Knut
    A flexible workforce is a key competitive advantage to deal with a constantly changing environment, such as order fluctuations and filling knowledge gaps due to a shortage of skilled staff. So far, only few empirical results are available on how companies successfully manage the “Flexible Workforce”. In the present exploratory study, we examine the flexible workforce practice and management in Swiss organisations using a quantitative approach. Data were collected through an online survey, in which 224 HR professionals of Swiss companies took part. The results suggest that organisations engaging in a flexible workforce benefit from outcomes like dealing with peaks in workload, filling knowledge gaps, implementation of new ideas and succession planning. The extent to which companies can benefit from the use of a flexible workforce depends, among other things, on the complexity of the tasks and organisational characteristics such as the culture of trust and the practice of knowledge management.

    Practice track: a learning tracker using digital biomarkers for autistic preschoolers
    (2022) Sandhu, Gurmit; Kilburg, Anne; Martin, Andreas; Pande, Charuta; Witschel, Hans Friedrich; Laurenzi, Emanuele; Billing, Erik; Hinkelmann, Knut; Gerber, Aurona
    Preschool children, when diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), often ex- perience a long and painful journey on their way to self-advocacy. Access to standard of care is poor, with long waiting times and the feeling of stigmatization in many social set- tings. Early interventions in ASD have been found to deliver promising results, but have a high cost for all stakeholders. Some recent studies have suggested that digital biomarkers (e.g., eye gaze), tracked using affordable wearable devices such as smartphones or tablets, could play a role in identifying children with special needs. In this paper, we discuss the possibility of supporting neurodiverse children with technologies based on digital biomark- ers which can help to a) monitor the performance of children diagnosed with ASD and b) predict those who would benefit most from early interventions. We describe an ongoing feasibility study that uses the “DREAM dataset”, stemming from a clinical study with 61 pre-school children diagnosed with ASD, to identify digital biomarkers informative for the child’s progression on tasks such as imitation of gestures. We describe our vision of a tool that will use these prediction models and that ASD pre-schoolers could use to train certain social skills at home. Our discussion includes the settings in which this usage could be embedded.
