In line with our mission to support businesses and public organizations with scientifically sound and applicable insights, we actively promote the transfer of research into practical business applications. Our research is specifically geared toward addressing concrete questions arising from everyday business and organizational practice. This close connection to real-world contexts ensures that our findings can directly contribute to solving real-life challenges.
In our teaching as well, we place great importance on enabling students to experience the interplay between theoretical knowledge and practical application early on. A close exchange between theory and practice takes place, for example, through practical seminars.

Prof. Dr. Kauffeld & Lorenzo: Kauffeld & Lorenzo (before 4A-Side GmbH) plays a special role for the IOS. The company was founded in 2008 as a spin-off of our division. The aim of the founders, PhD Simone Kauffeld and German Lorenzo, is to set new impulses for the practice out of research in human ressources.
International research partners: Furthermore, we have many international research partners.
Alumni: We appreciate if students stay in contact with our chair after their degree. Therefore, we created an alumni-network.
