Publikation Short duration, lasting impression. The role of short-term study trips in cross-cultural learning(Springer Cham, 2024) Meyer, Dario; Frey, Alice Lydia; Meyer, Rolf; Hinkelmann, Knut; Smuts, Hanlie04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Predictors of workplace satisfaction. Working onsite versus working from home(Springer Cham, 2024) Wittmann, Xinhua; Klyushina, Daria; Hinkelmann, Knut; Smuts, HanlieThe 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.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Modelling Transformation of Corporate Communications in the Digital Age(Springer, 2021) Göldi, Susan; Kraft, Corin; Vitacco, Jacqueline; Gerber, Aurona; Hinkelmann, KnutThis 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.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Effectuation und Lean Startup Methode - Analyserahmen und empirische Überprüfung anhand eines E-Healthcare Systems(edition gesowip, 2019) Eisenbart, Barbara; Hinz, Andreas; Verkuil, Arie Hans; Hinkelmann, Knut; Aeschbacher, MarcDieser Artikel baut auf zwei Forschungsschwerpunkten auf, die in der Entrepreneurship-Literatur von hoher Bedeutung und Popularität sind - Effectuation und die Lean Startup Methode. Beide Ansätze können sowohl bei der Entwicklungunternehmerischer Chancen wie auch als Methoden unternehmerischen Handelnseingesetzt werden. Die übergeordnete Forschungsfrage lautet deshalb: Wie können Effectuation und der Lean Startup Ansatz konzeptionell kombiniert werden, um unternehmerisches Venturing sowohl für Startups wie auch in etablierten Unternehmen zu unterstützen? Die Auswertung unserer Interviews deuten eindeutig darauf hin, dass Effectuation mit dem Lean Startup Ansatz in Verbindung gesetzt werden kann. Die drei diskutierten Konzeptpaare können unternehmerisches Venturing methodisch unterstützen.04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Action fields of digital transformation - a review and comparative analysis of digital transformation maturity models and frameworks(edition gesowip, 2019) Bumann, Jimmy; Peter, Marc K.; Verkuil, Arie Hans; Hinkelmann, Knut; Aeschbacher, Marc04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Design parameters of multidimensional reward systems based on preference analysis of students of business information systems (Bachelor and Master) at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland(2021) Heimsch, Fabian; Lüthi, Erhard; Gerber, Aurona; Hinkelmann, Knut04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Sustainable business model innovation for society 5.0. Towards a collaborative, inter- and transdisciplinary approach with students and organizations(2021) Wyss, Ananda; Meyer, Rolf; von Kutzschenbach, Michael; Gerber, Aurona; Hinkelmann, KnutDigital transformation and sustainability are but two developments in a society 5.0 that challenge businesses to rethink their business models. Sustainable business model innovation should enable companies to operate within planetary boundaries while ensuring their long-term success. Following a design-based approach, this action-oriented research addresses how higher education institutions can offer educational initiatives that strengthen students’ and organizations’ capabilities for sustainable business model innovation. This paper confirms and addresses the need for more research on collaborative, inter- and transdisciplinary educational approaches for sustainable business model innovation with students and organizations.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Identification and chaining of water accounting data stakeholders(EasyChair, 2022) Prater, Ryan; Eisenbart, Barbara; Hinkelmann, Knut; Gerber, AuronaPurpose – Multiple water accounting techniques exist and suffer from data gaps and misaligned stakeholders which creates standardization and consolidation problems in the data of the industry. This study identifies domain-based stakeholders and defines stakeholder data relationships to improve inter-stakeholder data efficiency. Design/methodology/approach – The research design follows an inductive data collection of qualitative cross-sectional data through semi-structured expert interviews. The recorded interviews were transcribed, thematically coded, and the findings summarized. Findings – The result is an improved specificity of water accounting data stakeholders which have different data input and output requirements. Our research found that these stakeholders can be chained together based on their data relationships which enables identifying inter-stakeholder relationships and improved data efficiency. Social Implications – Water is a vital resource for humans and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. More precise description of stakeholders and data factors enable more efficient data flow which can improve the efficacy of terminal impact. Originality/value – The awareness of problem is refined by increasing stakeholder specificity and identifying data input/output requirements. This enables chaining of stakeholders and data to clarify stakeholder data requirements and improve data efficiency for purposes such as collaboration and policy guidance.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Effects of Home Office on employees’ working conditions during Covid 19 crisis in Switzerland(2021) Schulte, Volker; Steinebach, Christoph; Verkuil, Arie Hans; Gerber, Aurona; Hinkelmann, KnutThe current pandemic poses special challenges for employees. A sur-vey was conducted in April and May 2020. The impact of the switch to home office on the living circumstances, quality of life and well-being was investi-gated. 333 respondents (female 62%, male 38%) participated in this survey. The results show there during these weeks a high level of well-being in the home office. More than 70% of respondents feel comfortable in home office and would like to maintain this type of work organization after the corona crisis. Leadership is a decisive factor. Working conditions at home (suitable working environment, undisturbed work) are less decisive for well-being than good leadership by the superior. Findings show the necessity of clear communication rules, so that em-ployees are optimally integrated into the work processes and content. In addition, a high degree of personal autonomy in the home office and, at the same time, close integration into the team is important for the well-being of employees. Em-ployees would like to keep the autonomy they gained even after the crisis. How-ever, there are increasing demands due to digital leadership. Under these condi-tions, leadership means providing orientation and support from a physical dis-tance, as well as promoting the autonomy of the employee. As a negative impact of Home Office, it can be stated that employees miss regular social exchange with colleagues. In consequence, the presence at the workplace should be used as quality time for building sustainable and resilient working relationships.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Leading in society 5.0, The 5Co leadership concept(2023) Aeschbacher, Marc; Legena, Valeria; Gerber, Aurona; Hinkelmann, Knut04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
