Specific topics are, for example, occupational safety, absenteeism, competence training for unemployed persons, stress at work, self-management and organizational health promotion programs (e.g., health circles, health score cards). Particular emphasis is placed on the training of competencies necessary for job analysis and job design (IO-internship).

The focus is on conditions and consequences of different forms of distributed leadership in organizations (i.e, participation, distributed team leadership, organisational democracy). Specific topics are, for example, theories of job motivation, methods of successful leadership at different levels (dyads, teams), efficiency of participative goal setting and organizational development. A primary goal is the promotion of decisional and functional autonomy at work that is used in a clever way.
