Marktplatz-Ansätze aus der Welt der mobilen Applikationen (App Stores) können eine Grundlage für die Vermarktung von Software-Diensten darstellen. Ihre Konzepte lassen sich jedoch nur durch eine erweiterte Betrachtung von funktionalen und nicht-funktionalen Aspekten der webbasierten Dienste in die Welt des Cloud Computing übertragen. Application Stores und Marktplätze für webbasierte Dienste (z.B. Asperado, Cloud-Portal, Software-Marktplatz) helfen bei Identifizierung und Bewertung der Angebote und bei der Kommunikation mit potentiellen Kunden.

Low replacement fertility and rising life expectancy in the past have shaped age composition in Germany so that the birth cohorts of the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, the so called “baby-boomers”, are the largest group in the German population. This group will retire in the near future. Low fertility will lead to a decreasing number of young workers. Replacement of older workers leaving the labour force by young people will become more difficult.

T1 - Readiness Level to adopt Smart Grid Technologies: Study for the City of Medellin N2 - The smart grid development in Latin America shows a big gap in the amount of research and development when compared with the USA and EU where the topic has been active for almost 10 years. In this context two different models and expert surveys are used in this study to evaluate the readiness level of the city of Medellin to adopt smart grid technologies. The results of this study show that the City has the utilities, the knowledge, the universities and the human resource to become a role model in the region. But an effort to integrate all the actors and impulse a common agenda is required. The utility companies need to lead this development, but regulators, academia and industry must back up this endeavor and enable Medellin to lead the power grid development of the next years in the region.

T1 - Social Category Salience Moderates the Effect of Diversity Faultlines on Information Elaboration JF - Small Group Research N2 - Faultlines—hypothetical dividing lines splitting a group into homogeneous subgroups based on the distribution of demographic attributes—are frequently assumed to be detrimental to group outcomes because they operationalize social categorizations. However, a literature review indicates that this is not always the case. We argue that diversity faultlines and social categorizations are not necessarily the same and that the effect of diversity faultlines is moderated by perceived social categorizations. To test this proposition, we assigned 172 participants to groups of four. Participant gender, bogus personality feedback, seating position, and colored cards were employed to create two diversity faultline conditions (weak and strong faultline). Groups worked on the Survive in the Desert task, and their interactions were coded with the discussion coding system (DCS). Social categorizations were elicited using a newly developed measure that requires participants to specify subjectively perceived salient categories. Participants stated many social categories that were unrelated to surface-level characteristics frequently employed in diversity research. In line with our hypotheses, social category salience moderated the effect of faultline strength on elaboration. Elaboration was most intense in strong faultline groups that had low levels of category salience. Elaboration was positively related to performance. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

ED - Krause, Bodo T1 - Evaluating the quality of assessment centers used in employee selection: development of a Benchmark for Assessment Center Diagnostics (BACDi) T2 - Empirische Evaluationsmethoden N2 - Assessment Centers (AC) generally yield an acceptable predictive validity, but the range of validity coefficients varies depending on the study. One reason for these heterogenic results might be the lack of commonly accepted quality criteria for the use of ACs in organizational practice. The project Benchmark for Assessment Center Diagnostics (BACDi) aims to systematically evaluate AC quality focusing on improving their predictive validity. For this reason, the BACDi-instrument was developed in cooperation with AC experts from research and organizational practice. The instrument provides an evaluation of AC quality according to 67 quality criteria based on scientific evidence or recommendations relating to predictive validity. Furthermore, a norm is created that allows organizations to compare their results to those of similar organizations within a benchmark. This article describes the theoretical background of the BACDi-project as well as the development of the BACDi-instrument. In addition, the current application and evaluation of the BACDi-instrument and perspectives of the BACDi-project are presented.

A1 - Meyer, Bertolt T1 - Effects of vice-principals' psychological empowerment on job satisfaction and burnout JF - International Journal of Educational Management N2 - Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the relationship between psychological empowerment, job satisfaction, and burnout among vice-principals (VPs) in primary schools. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 103 VPs at 103 different primary schools in Germany were surveyed with a questionnaire that assessed the four dimensions of psychological empowerment (competence, meaning, self-determination, and impact), emotional exhaustion, and job satisfaction. Participants also reported demographic data, including days absent from work over the past year. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings – Regarding the consequences of empowerment, SEM revealed a strong indirect relationship with emotional exhaustion via job satisfaction. The direct relationship between empowerment and emotional exhaustion did not reach statistical significance. Of the dimensions of empowerment, competence and meaning were the strongest predictors of the outcomes. Emotional exhaustion and days absent from work were positively related. Practical implications – Job related burnout can cause serious consequences for the individual and the school, because VPs have a central role in the functioning of primary schools. Since the empowerment dimensions competence and meaning have the strongest influence, measures should be implemented to foster them. Because job satisfaction is highly related to emotional exhaustion, it could serve as an early alert system. For this reason, VPs should be surveyed at regular intervals regarding their job satisfaction. Originality/value – The study is the first that examines the relationship between psychological empowerment, satisfaction, and burnout among VPs in schools.
