Short Summary
In this interactive seminar, students will work in small teams to investigate an empirical research question in the context of a current research project of the Chair of Human Resource Management and Organization. Students will expand an existing research paradigm to derive their own research question and hypotheses. The seminar may re-quire students to participate actively in the conceptualization and/or implementation of a study and will analyze the data. The results will be presented and discussed and will be summarized in a written report.
Course Content
The topic of the course will be announced in the beginning of the semester, in the past e.g. age stereotypes as an object of exploratory learning.
Learning Outcomes
After this course, students should be able to:
· independently compile state-of-the art methods of research in the field of organization behavior and human
resource management on a new research topic related to the overall seminar topic;
· apply their previously gained knowledge on the research process to new research questions;
· analyze the demands of empirical research questions regarding the selected subject as it probably focuses
mainly human interactions and their impact;
· anticipate and understand the challenges of scientific work in the field of organizational behavior;
· translate a theoretical model into a research design to apply previously learned knowledge;
· implement their own research;
· answer a research question by the use of quantitative methods of data analysis and present their research
findings in a comprehensible and thoughtful manner (in oral and in written form).

Short Summary
In this interactive seminar, student teams will autonomously investigate an empirical research question in the field of organizational behavior following an experimental approach. They will expand an existing research paradigm to derive their own research questions and hypotheses. The seminar therefore requires students to actively participate in the conceptualization and implementation of a scenario-based online-survey and a laboratory experiment as well as the analysis of the obtained data. The results will be discussed and presented in the last session and will be sum-marized in as a research essay by the student teams.
Course Content
Topics of this course are:
• Different dimensions of employee well-being and health
• Different leadership behaviors, such as considerate, directive & autocratic leadership
• Substitutes for leadership
• State-of-the-art empirical research methods in social sciences - research process

- quantitative methods for data analysis Learning Outcomes
After this course, students should be able to:
· independently make use of state-of-the art research methods regarding the overall topic of human resource
management and organizational behavior;
· apply their existing knowledge and follow a rigorous research process;
· analyze and understand the demands of empirical research questions to substantiate previously stated theses, especially in a field that focuses mainly on human interaction;
· anticipate and understand the challenges of working scientifically, especially regarding the chairs research
