Katharina Löhr completed her PhD!
In the frame of her dissertation project, Katharina Löhr analyzed how to optimize processes and functioning of transdisciplinary research projects. This included the design and testing of a conflict management (CPM) system in a transdisciplinary and international research setting. The Viadrina component model on conflict management served as the conceptual frame. As case study served the Trans-SEC project (PB2), which is coordinated by ZALF (Stefan Sieber/Frieder Graef). Results show positive effects of CPM on project members’ communication and conflict behavior as well as on interpersonal trust and perceptions of work effectiveness. This suggests that CPM-System is a tool that benefits collaborative projects and that can help project managers to facilitate organizational functioning and project success. Congratulations Katharina!
