Chemnitz University of Technology, Department of Psychology: Behavioural and Social Sciences: Department of Psychology: Economic, Organizational, and Social Psychology: Applied Interests
In Economic and Organizational psychology, we connect basic and applied research on the one hand and the interests of the university with public interests on the other hand, because we develop measures, evaluate and change processes, and do consulting. That's why our research group closely cooperates with companies, administrations, and other institutions. Here you can find an overview of current and finished projects that members of this research group have planned and conducted. If you are from an organization and would like to collaborate with us, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
