Organizational Behavior Prof. Dr. Christiane Schwieren

My current research mainly focuses on gender and diversity-related topics. With colleagues from economics, psychology, and psychiatry, we are trying to better understand which factors lead to differences in female and male careers. We focus on individual-level factors, such as preferences and personality, and structural or contextual factors, such as workplace culture or sexual harassment. A large part of this focuses on women in STEM and academic careers in general. 
I do continue my work on cooperation and workplace stressors, in field studies using survey- and lab-in-the-field methods as well as using laboratory experiments 
I am also interested in methodological questions and innovations. Together with co-authors, we try to increase our understanding of the perceptions that participants in experiments both in Western and non-Western contexts have of the experimental setting, as well as how these perceptions influence their behavior. Recently, we started to explore whether we can leverage LLMs in economic experiments to deepen our understanding of human interaction.
