Human forgetting has no good reputation and is often associated with weakness. Yet forgetting is essential for coping with our everyday life and can even improve performance, as recent studies show.
We congratulate Dr. Sarah Meeßen on the successful disputation on "Trust in Information Systems at the Workplace - Conceptual Classification, Antecedents, and Outcomes" within the "Getrost Vergessen" project.
Since February 2020, Lea Müller has been the new research assistant in the project " Getrost Vergessen". As a member of the Organizational & Business Psychology Department she is responsible for the second project phase and researches the implementation of information systems in practice.
Our second study, in which we developed and described the theoretical model of our research project, has now been accepted for publication in the Zeitschrift für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie.
Our DFG-funded research project has been extended for another three years and is now entering its second project phase. In the second phase of the project, the focus is on the practical transfer of the research results of the first project phase. The implementation of an information system into the everyday work of a practice partner and the longitudinal analysis of the consequences of this implementation form the core of the second project phase.
Abstract: Human Resource Management (HRM) activities, such as recruitment, leadership, andpersonnel development often rely on social interactions. One crucial element of suc-cessful interactions is mutual trust. Indeed, trust has been shown to be correlatedwith effective HRM activities and performance in organizations in various ways (e.g. Breuer, Hüffmeier, & Hertel, 2016; Colquitt, Scott, & LePine, 2007). Digitalization of HRM might further increase the significance of trust due to reduced face-to-face inter-action.
Last week we presented our results on trust management at the European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2019), June 10-14 in Stockholm, Sweden. In the publication we deal with the question of how trust in information systems can be actively promoted through management decisions. Especially in the domain of business informatics, trust has to be integrated more strongly into the design of information systems, for example by taking trust more into account in process management.
