The purpose of the seminar is to give PhD students the opportunity to present their HRM related dissertation research, receive feedback, and discuss their progress as well as theoretical and methodological challenges with fellow students as well as faculty members. To achieve this objective students are required to present an drafts of articles of their cumulative dissertation or chapter of their monograph.

The aim of the course is to discuss challenging issues in doctoral students` research, to get feedback from colleagues and professors and, by doing so, to speed up personal progress in the respective research area. Upon completion, participants:

Can write-up and polish the paper or monograph draft;

can identify relevant literature for their dissertation;

can explain and defend conceptual, theoretical and methodological choices in their dissertation projects;

can define the next steps in their dissertation projects;

can discuss and constructively criticize their own and others’ dissertation or research projects.

As this seminar relies heavily on personal interactions between students and faculty, presence in all sessions is required. It iss not allowed to miss more than 30% of the total seminar time.

The course’s didactic approach rests on two pillars: the participants 1) present and discuss their own dissertation/research projects, and 2) actively participate in the scientific discussions of other participants’ dissertation/research projects.

The overall seminar grade is based on three individual assessments:

    Research presentation and discussion (50%)

   Quality of the revise and resubmit document (30%)

    Individual participation and contributions to the academic discussions (20%)

For this course we have the following scale:

    < 60%                               fail (5)

    60% bis 69,99%               sufficient (4)

    70% bis 79,99%               satisfactory (3)

    80% bis 89,99%               good (2)

    >= 90%                             excellent (1)
