The Implications of Feedback Frequency for Employee Creativity
(2022)
Managers are still floundering when they have to decide on the optimal level of feedback frequency; either when they consider themselves as a source of feedback, but also when they shape the feedback environment of their employees, e.g., by allowing more (or less) frequent customer feedback. Furthermore, given that feedback is a time-consuming task, managers might be reluctant to provide feedback frequently, foregoing a potentially powerful lever for increasing employee creativity. Ultimately, clarifying the ambiguities ...

Consumers’ Disposal Behavior at the Base of the Pyramid
(2024)
This dissertation explores the sources of sustainable waste management by examining the disposal behavior of low-income consumers at the base of the pyramid (BoP). Consumer product and package disposal behavior varies internationally and requires a selective strategy for waste management at the BoP. Uniform approaches to waste management have proven inadequate, as BoP markets are complex and heterogeneous and thus need to be considered individually.
Therefore, this dissertation focuses on identifying factors influence ...

Even when academia tries to shed light on this field, it often fails to consider that waste management must be approached differently in less developed countries, which differ dramatically from advanced countries, especially with regard to consumers’ behavioral characteristics. ...

Experimental analyses of individual sustainable choices
(2023)
This dissertation complements the aforementioned studies by considering choice and allocation experiments which allow to directly examine how individuals choose between sustainable prod-ucts and their conventional counterparts. It particularly examines how different experimental designs and interventions causally affect choices between sustainable electricity contracts and investments over their conventional counterparts and provides guidance on how to analyze these choices using a Monte Carlo experiment.
