Participation in the AOW conference in Chemnitz

From September 22 to 24 2021, the conference of the Division of Industrial, Organizational and Business Psychology (AOW) of the German Psychological Society (DGPs) will take place in Chemnitz. This year's motto is "Sustainable interaction with people and technology".

This conference is one of the most important events in the business psychology community and we are very pleased to be widely represented there.

This year, Prof. Vera Hagemann, Lena Heinemann and Michèle Rieth will be on site for a professional exchange. Specifically, the Department of Business Psychology & Human Resources will be represented with a total of two symposia and five papers. The symposia will be chaired by Prof. Hagemann, one on "Working in Times of Covid-19" and one on "Safe Teamwork and Rule Breaking in High Risk Organizations". Michèle Rieth will give a presentation on the former about the impact of Covid-19 measures on employees. Lena Heinemann and colleagues will give two presentations on the second about the development of a questionnaire to assess stressors and resources in teamwork in fire protection operations as well as their collection for the purpose of training development. Vera Hagemann will present findings from her laboratory studies on "The effects of collective orientation and process feedback on coordination and performance of interdependent teams". Michèle Rieth will additionally present findings from her doctoral dissertation in a talk titled "Key Aspects for the Implementation of Human Automation Interaction and Human Autonomy Teaming - An Expert Study". The Department of Business Psychology & Human Resources is looking forward to the conference and hopes to meet many colleagues in person again after a long time.
