His research covers two main areas:
Organizational Studies: Organizational research focuses on the interrelation of (formal and informal) organizational structures and the behavior of its members. But how (and when) can actors change organizational structures? And, how is their behavior influenced by them? To find the answers to these questions, we will mainly follow a theory-based quantitative empirical approach. So far, we have examined a variety of organizations, ranging from enterprises to hospitals, and from soccer clubs to universities. The leading questions primarily focus upon special aspects of this interrelation such as knowledge transfer. In this case, it can also be shown, that knowledge transfer between organization members and units highly depends on the formal and informal structures and action strategies and motivation of its members and are mutually dependent.
Higher Education Research: Universities as knowledge-intensive organizations are predisposed to be scrutinized from an organizational perspective. However, there are two types of organization members in this case: students and professors/academic staff. This allows for a wide range of topics, such as non-traditional students, the organizability of academic teaching and advanced scientific training. Using the example of academic teaching it can be shown that different organizational structures and forms of governance lead to different perceptions of the organizational environment among its members. Again, distinct strategies of action of the actors lead to different outputs in academic teaching.
