<P>The author asks how far the extension of employer-supported childcare serves as a driver for higher maternal labor supply. She addresses this question by categorizing employer-supported childcare as an efficiency wage introduced by the employer to increase the working volume of mothers. Applying various impact evaluation techniques in an econometric analysis, the author concludes that the availability of employer-supported childcare has a positive impact on the length and working volume of mothers who return back to work after giving birth. Furthermore, the usage of employer-supported childcare by mothers with pre-school age children influences the amount of agreed and actual working hours positively.</P><P> </P>

Moral dilemmas are a pervasive feature of working life. Moral Reasoning at Work offers a fresh perspective on how to live with them. How do we cope with situations where no matter what we decide to do, something will be wrong? How do we live with the moral dissonance between what we are tempted to do and what is in line with our moral convictions? What can organizations do to establish a foundation for responsible decision-making and conduct? This book combines research streams from ethics and moral psychology using extensive experience of sessions of moral reasoning with leaders and employees in organizations. It argues that there is a need to go beyond compliance and traditional approaches to ethics in order to prepare decision-makers for moral dilemmas. Organizations can do that by encouraging people to become actively and regularly involved in moral reasoning at work.

Hardcover available at Palgrave Macmillan.

Die Ausgestaltung von Performance Measurement orientiert sich an branchenspezifischen Charakteristika. Mit Hilfe eines Mixed-Methods-Ansatzes zeigt die Autorin für den Einzelhandel, welche Erfolgskennzahlen relevant sind. Der Fokus liegt auf der Verwendung von Performance-Kennzahlen auf der Filialebene. Die Ausgangsbasis der Analyse bildet ein Literaturüberblick, der die kennzahlenorientierte Handelsmarketingforschung der letzten 50 Jahre beleuchtet. Problemzentrierte Leitfadeninterviews mit Handelsmanagern aus dem US-amerikanischen und deutschsprachigen Raum zeigen Unterschiede im Verständnis der Konzeption. Eine Face-to-Face-Befragung von Managern sowie ein conjoint-analytischer Ansatz präsentieren Relevanz und Nützlichkeit von Handelskennzahlen im Alltag.
