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):
Building on the Job Demands-Resources model, job resources refer to those physical, psychological, social, or organizational aspects of the job that enable the achievement of occupational goals, mitigate the impact of job demands on strain, and promote learning, development, and personal growth. In this seminar, we will embark on a journey to explore which job resources really matter for occupational health and well-being in today’s work of work. To this end, we will delve into the manifold universe of job resources, covering the work psychology classics such as job autonomy and social support, yet likewise uncovering some often hidden and under-emphasized gems such as high-quality connections, psychological safety, and the physical work environment (e.g., lighting, climate, acoustics, colors, plants and overall atmosphere), which have sparked work psychology researchers’ interest just recently. Join us in unraveling the abundance of job resources and developing our own ideas of how to sustainably promote them in real-world organizational practice. |
