Description
Partner: FH WiesbadenThe wealth of the Western civilization rests for the most part upon its ability of efficient management of manual labor which has been linked with an increase of productivity since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Unfortunately many mangers apply these - without a doubt - formerly successful management methods identically to today's jobs, which consist mostly no longer of manual but deal with brain work. Existing results indicate that this does not work. Compared to manual workers, knowledge workers are motivated by devoiant means, they work in a different way and they require other basic work conditions. To meet these challenges appropriately one has to deal with the economical and practical fundamentals of efficient knowledge work. But this hasn't been done sufficiently so far. That's why we want to develop concrete suggestions for the measurement, enhancement, and organization of efficient knowledge work within the framework of this research project.
