Preventive Condition-Centered Work Design

Our working group builds on the established tradition of preventive and condition-centered psychologically based work and learning process design at the Dresden TH / TU. This tradition was shaped by pioneers such as W. Blumenfeld, J. Doleczal, W. Straub, and E. Gniza, among others, and continued with the development of the concept for the psychological motivation of work processes (activity/action regulation concept) by B. Bergmann, W. Hacker, and P. Richter.

Scientific Support and Consulting Expertise

The working group engages in research, practical, and transfer projects systematically, independently, and reliably. We offer our expertise to support and advise you at any time. Please contact us.
