Group 1 (Nachtwei):
The seminar examines artificial intelligence from the perspective of engineering psychology, with examples from industrial and organizational psychology. The seminar content is based on the lecture Psychology × AI. In addition to the social implications of AI and interdisciplinary impulses, AI is dealt with in particular with a focus on the digital transformation of the world of work. Special focus is placed on professions in the healthcare sector and in higher education. The materials for this seminar are based on the findings of approximately 500 current and seminal articles from established journals in the field of human factors (see corresponding lecture). In the seminar, students present some of these articles, moderate a discussion and prepare a contribution for the professional social media platform LinkedIn in order to serve the third mission of universities and to learn the transfer of academic knowledge into practice. (All registered participants will receive the moodle password via e-mail at the start of the semester.)
Group 2 (Leitner):
In this seminar, we will embark on a journey to explore which job as well as personal resources really matter for occupational health and well-being in today’s world of work. To this end, we will dive into the manifold universe of resources, covering work psychology classics such as job autonomy and self-efficacy, yet likewise uncovering some often overlooked or under-emphasized gems such as psychological safety, high-quality connections, self-compassion, and meaningfulness, which have sparked work psychologists’ interest just recently. Join us in unravelling the abundance of job and personal resources, delving into their bright as well as potential dark sides, and developing our own ideas on how to sustainably promote those resources that make employees thrive in real-world organizational practice. |
