SPP 1921: "Intentional Forgetting" in organisations: Forgetting confidently: Determinants and consequences of trustful usage of information systems in organizations

Continuously increasing and changing amounts of data in modern organizations demand new information handling strategies. Effective knowledge management requires a flexible selection of essential information, for example, for decision processes under uncertainty or in dynamic economic markets. In this regard, information systems can reduce decision maker's cognitive load, emotional strain, and stress. However, for those positive effects to occur, persons need to use the information systems trustfully in order to forget "confidently". The goal of the present research project is to model and empirically examine the psychological processes underlying trustful use of information systems, enabling intentional forgetting.

Reducing the moderation effort of user comments with the help of automation using text analytical methods (MODERAT!)

In recent years, a rapid increase in racist, political and religiously motivated hate commentary has led many newspaper editors to deactivate their online comment functions on their websites. While this is understandable from an economic point of view for the individual publishers, serious problems for the public discourse arise in view of restriction quotas of up to 50%. The MODERAT! project aims to use an integrative and interdisciplinary approach to develop software tools and a web platform that will enable operators to moderate web debates with significantly less effort. Comments are analyzed automatically, so that only a small number of critical comments have to be viewed manually. In this way, media houses and publishers should be able to offer web debates again on their own websites and thus enter into a more active exchange with the readership.

Algorithmization and Social Interaction

Imagine you call a company and your request is no longer answered by a human being but by an artificial assistant - how does this affect you as an individual and society at large? And does the customization of information in social media and online environments limit our horizon, or even keeps us in a ‚filter bubble‘? These are just a few of the socially and politically relevant core questions of the interdisciplinary topical program „Algorithmization and Social Interaction“. Scholars from information systems, economy, social sciences, law and communication studies work together to explore, first, how (artificially intelligent) algorithms can be used to influence social interaction. Second, the topical program is interested in how society (including the public as well as political and societal elites) reacts to this increasing algorithmic governance.

Less is sometimes more: Services and requirements for a no-stop shop

In a no-stop shop (NSS), public services are provided proactively without any activity from citizens. For a NSS, data of citizens is to be integrated so they do not have to apply for public services any longer. Instead, services are provided by public organizations without application. A shift to proactive service provision entails fundamental procedural changes and is therefore not comparable with standard digitalization decisions. For the realization of a NSS, both a customized instrument that supports public organizations in the selection of services for the NSS and a catalog of requirements for the concrete implementation of the NSS are necessary. The goals of this project are therefore 1. the creation of a catalog of requirements for a no-stop shop that takes into account and harmonizes both public organization and citizen interests (especially digital sovereignty) 2. development of a calculation method to support the decision-making process for the selection of services for the no-stop shop

Evaluation of the German Oline Access Act - Identification of data sources, data collection and data analysis

The aim of this project is to evaluate the municipal implementation of the online access law. On 18.08.2017, the Act on the Improvement of Online Access to Administrative Services (OZG for short) came into force, which stipulates that by 2022 the federal and state governments must also offer their administrative services electronically via so-called administrative portals. The federal, state and local authorities now have two more years to fulfil the requirements of the law and offer their administrative services completely electronically. The project now examines the status quo of the implementation of the OZG for municipal administrative services. A comprehensive survey of the implementation of the law at the municipal level will allow a detailed analysis of the development potential in the next two years. Based on the data and findings obtained, tailor-made recommendations for action for administration and politics can be derived, which will enable the timely implementation of the law.

Quo vadis, Civis? Development of a citizen journey for a demand-oriented service design in the public sector

Up to now, the public sector has taken a supply-oriented approach to the design of electronic services for citizens. Companies in the private sector, on the other hand, have been relying on demand-oriented service design for years. So-called 'customer journeys', which focus on improving the service experience of customers, are used to better understand the perception of services by customers and to tailor the use of online services to that perception. Especially against the background of the stagnating e-government usage rates in Germany, the necessity for a user-oriented design of public services is tremendous. In this project, we therefore examine the applicability of customer journeys to the public sector and develop a so-called e-Government Citizen Journey, which we evaluate for its applicability in practice.

Nationale E-Government-Strategien im europäischen Vergleich

Germany started digitisation comparatively late, which is why the focus is often on European partners who are already further advanced in this area. In many cases, the question of how Germany can learn from other countries has been, and still is, a central issue. The digitisation successes of the Scandinavian countries in particular appear to be groundbreaking in this respect, whereby the question arises as to how far the results can be transferred to German conditions there. In this project we critically analyse the transferability of e-government strategies as well as experiences in their implementation, especially in a direct comparison of Denmark and Germany.

SPP 1921: 'Intentional Forgetting' in organisations: 'Forgetting confidently': Motivational and emotional influences on intentional forgetting in organisations

The tandem project of the University of Münster with the disciplines Organisational & Business Psychology (Guido Hertel) and Information Systems (Jörg Becker) focuses on studies on motivational factors that can interfere or promote intentional forgetting in organizations. Intentional forgetting is operationalized by the extent of the utilization of information systems. Information systems are considered to be a structural form of intentional forgetting in organizations that provide users with relevant information so that less relevant information can fade into the background (gradual forgetting). In this way, the use of information systems can save resources and increase the quality and speed of decisions by focusing on the essential decision criteria.

End-Of-Life Solutions for eCar-Batteries – Development of Product-Service-Systems and Information Systems for Decision Support

An immature battery technology appears to be a crucial obstacle to impede a quick diffusion of electric mobility in Germany. One core factor are the high initial costs of traction batteries. To improve the total cost of ownership an electric vehicle, depleted batteries could be repurposed after their automotive use. Depending on the technical properties of a battery, different second-life scenarios can be realized (e.g., to propel smaller vehicles or to store green energy in stationary applications). The EOL-IS project's goal is the development of services (e.g., pay-per-use business models, engineering services, maintenance services, refurbishment) for the second-life of eCar batteries that can be offered with the battery as a product-service system. Based on the chemical and technical features of individual batteries, the battery's use history, and its condition, a custom-fit product-service system is configured in order to enable the re-use of the battery.

Life event based e-government using the example of the life situation "Child"

Although German municipalities offer similar services, their electronic implementations are often heterogeneous. Thus, citizens are confronted with many different websites which leads to a low adoption of e-government services. Consequently, this project aims at the conceptualization of a one-stop-shop for the German e-government. Based on a documentation of current processes at different public administrations, a to-be architecture will be conceptualized that represents a life event based, uniform nationwide platform to offer e-government services regarding the live event “child” such as child benefit.

The aim of this project was to prepare the results of the e-Competence study in a focused and targeted manner for a better communication to the respective target groups. The results will be practicioner-oriented manuals. 19 identified reference roles can help to structure the competence requirements of a public administration, to develop profiles for job advertisements or to generally prepare job profiles and to identify future needs. The guideline, on the other hand, helps to select appropriate forms of communication.

eGovernment Competence

The project E-Government competence aims at identifying the future personnel requirements in the public sector and to develop teaching methods that help employees to better adjust to the changed environment and customer needs. Therefore, in a first step, today's and future roles incorporated by employees in the public sector are gathered on the basis of IT-supported administration processes. This should help to identify those (presumably) new competencies especially required when working in an "E-Government context". Then, competencies that are needed now and in the near future are derived from this analysis and suitable teaching methods are developed.

Federal Information Management

Many public administrations maintain their information on administrative procedures on their own. This leads to a heterogeneous information landscape. It is, however, crucial for maintaining a reliable public service that same content is always described the same. Here, the FIM project comes into play. It is the goal to build up an information management that supports information exchange across all federal levels between internal processes and between public administrations and citizens (public service). This will be achieved by combining functional and technical Standardization.

Collaborative process-oriented service productivity management

Die Steigerung der Produktivität von Dienstleistungen ist eine zentrale Zielsetzung des Business Process Management (BPM). Mit Dienstleistungen werden in Deutschland bereits jetzt ca. 70 % der Bruttowertschöpfung generiert. Sie bergen darüber hinaus ein hohes gesamtwirtschaftliches Wachstumspotenzial, das sich durch eine Steigerung ihrer Produktivität in Zukunft noch besser ausgeschöpfen lässt. Damit Produktivitätspotenziale auch über die Unternehmensgrenzen einzelner Dienstleister hinaus gehoben werden können, sind neue BPM-Ansätze notwendig. Im Verbundprojekt KollaPro, bestehend aus Partnern aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, werden neue Methoden zum kollaborativen prozessorientierten Produktivitätsmanagement von Dienstleistungen entwickelt und in Form einer internetbasierten Softwarelösung (Toolkit) für die Praxis nutzbar gemacht.

Forschungslandkarte "Prozessorientierte Verwaltung"

Deutschland ist auf dem Weg hin zu einer prozessorientierten Verwaltung. Es gibt vielfältige Bestrebungen, den Prozessgedanken, insbesondere bei der Modernisierung von Verwaltungs-abläufen, in den Verwaltungen des Bundes, der Länder und der Kommunen zu etablieren. Nichtsdestotrotz ist der Weg bis zu einer ganzheitlichen Prozessorientierung und Nutzung der Vorteile einer ablauforientierten Gestaltung der Verwaltungsstrukturen noch weit. Auf dem Weg zur Erstellung der Forschungslandkarte Prozessorientierte Verwaltung wurden zahlreiche Literaturquellen und Datenbanken systematisch durchsucht. Die identifizierten Forscherinnen und Forscher, die in Deutschland in der Community arbeiten und forschen, wurden gebeten, den Stand ihrer Forschung im aufgebauten Forschungsportal zu dokumentieren. Dabei konnten 14 Forschungsfelder identifiziert werden, innerhalb derer sich die Forschungslücken der prozessorientierten Verwaltung strukturieren lassen und die Basis der Handlungsempfehlungen dieser Studie sind.
