Der Irrtum bei Vertragsschluss und dessen Risiko für die Vertragspartner

Rechtsvergleichend betrachtet am Beispiel des deutschen und österreichischen Rechts, des englischen Rechts sowie des DCFR und des CESL

Studien zur Rechtswissenschaft

Die rechtliche Behandlung von Willenserklärungen, die unter dem Einfluss von Fehlvorstellungen zustande gekommen sind, ist seit langem eines der komplexesten Probleme des Vertragsrechts. Die Schwierigkeit der Materie hängt unmittelbar damit zusammen, dass verschiedene schützenswerte Interessen meist gegenläufig aufeinander treffen.

The Behavioral Impact of Non-Monetary Workplace Characteristics

Laboratory and Field Experimental Evidence

Schriftenreihe innovative betriebswirtschaftliche Forschung und Praxis

This thesis covers four independent research articles on the behavioral impact of selected non-monetary workplace characteristics – i.e. employee voice, task characteristics, and the provision of information – on workers’ individual decision making and workplace performance.

Given the neoclassical assumption of purely self-interested and completely rational utility maximizing individuals (Homines economici), workplace characteristics should be of little interest…

Not Just for the Money,
but What For?

An Experimental and Empirical Analysis of Immaterial, Tangible and Monetary Incentives

Personalwirtschaft

One of the great challenges in personnel economics is how to align employee’s best interest to that of the employer. The literature on incentive theory has up to now focused mostly on monetary incentives. Indeed, many facts speak in their favor. Money is storable, fungible, easily tradable, and mainly independent of the recipient’s preference because of its option value. But recent empirical findings suggest that monetary incentives, like piece rates, can backfire. The…
