Research group description

The research group investigates mechanisms of resilience in the environment of employment. We have set ourselves the goal of identifying contextual, individual, and procedural aspects that have an impact on the effect of work-related stressors. We strive to further develop theoretical models and underpin them with solid empirical evidence. In terms of content, the focus is on the consideration of social interactions (leadership, team; couples, families), the requirements of an unlimited and flexible work environment, and professional careers. Diary data and longitudinal study designs allow us to be very close to the work environment and also to map short and medium-term processes.
