This seminar introduces students to empirical research methods in organizational behavior, with a focus on both qualitative and quantitative approaches. It aims to provide a solid understanding of a variety of research designs, data collection techniques, and analytical methods commonly used in organizational research, while also fostering critical thinking about the ethical and practical implications of conducting research in organizational settings. Students learn to develop research questions, design appropriate studies, and apply data collection and analysis techniques. The course covers methods such as regression analysis, multilevel modeling, (quasi-)experimental designs, and case study research. By designing and conducting their own research projects, students gain hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of how to investigate current trends and challenges in organizations.

Post-Doctoral Researcher
I am a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality” at the University of Konstanz. I conduct quantitative research on workplace inequality. My work examines how gender, age, migration background, and occupational background shape everyday work experiences, career outcomes, and health, and what organizations and policymakers can do to reduce these disparities.
