At this year's spring conference of the Society for Work Sciences (GfA) at RWTH Aachen University, the Organizational Psychology team was represented with several contributions and was able to provide exciting insights into ongoing research work. The focus was on the work in the BMBF-funded RessourcE project, which deals with qualification, further training and health-promoting work design in the logistics and care service sectors.
An overview of the contributions:
- Hannah Louisa Krüger presented evaluation results of a training intervention to promote work-related learning when using AI-based chat applications such as ChatGPT and Copilot.
- Annelie Lorber presented a concept at the symposium “Simple work in services as a challenge in labour research” (chaired by Dr. Peter Bleses and Dr. Wolfgang Ritter) that can be used to identify further training potential for employees in simple work - using the logistics sector as an example.
- The Organizational Psychology team also co-authored the poster contribution “Challenges in the development of an intelligent system for identifying the potential of employees in low-skilled work” by Fenja Hesselmann from Jade University of Applied Sciences Wilhelmshaven/Oldenburg/Elsfleth - a contribution that addresses the central challenges of data-based potential identification and reflects important aspects of our own research work.
In addition to the presentations, the conference offered numerous opportunities to exchange ideas with colleagues from other projects such as KREIS and other regional competence centers - an inspiring environment for interdisciplinary knowledge transfer and networking.
Many thanks to the organizing team at RWTH Aachen University for three insightful days!
