Mobilität als Innovationsmotor für Individuen, Hochschulen und Regionen.Jungbauer-Gans, M., & Gottburgsen, A. (2022).Mobilität als Innovationsmotor für Individuen, Hochschulen und Regionen. In M. Jungbauer-Gans & A. Gottburgsen (Hrsg.), Regionale Mobilität und Hochschulbildung (S. 1-18). Wiesbaden: Springer VS. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-36156-3_1 Abstract
Students, graduates and universities interact with their regional environment in a number of ways. Regions offer institutions of higher education a potential for strategic development, while these institutions, in turn, actively influence regional development. Different student groups differ in their regional mobility behaviour. Before summarising the state of research on the regional mobility of students and graduates, this introductory chapter presents research findings on the importance of universities for the regions and the structural development of university regions in Germany. |

Prejudices against the unemployed - empirical evidence from Germany.Gross, C., Gurr, T., Jungbauer-Gans, M., & Lang, S. (2020).Prejudices against the unemployed - empirical evidence from Germany. Journal for Labour Market Research, 54(3), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12651-020-00268-8 Abstract
Prejudices against the unemployed pose an enormous threat to their self-confidence and can make it difficult for them to re-enter the labour market, resulting in further long-term unemployment. Given these high costs for the unemployed and for society as a whole, our knowledge of prejudices against the unemployed is surprisingly scarce. We focus on the question of what determines the strength of prejudice among employees. By applying social identity theory, we assume that people who are disadvantaged in the labour market in general, also hold stronger prejudices. In addition, we assume that social status mediates this association and that self-efficacy moderates it. |
