In der qualitativen Studie soll erstmalig ein realitätsnahes Abbild der Zusammenarbeit mit ausländischen Ärzten/innen aus der Perspektive der Pflege dargestellt werden. Es wurden 11 leitfadengestützte Interviews mit 13 Pflegekräften geführt und mittels der Grounded Theory ausgewertet. Alle Pflegekräfte berichten von alltäglichen Herausforderungen, wobei sprachliche Barrieren und die Einstellung zur Gleichberechtigung von Mann und Frau am häufigsten genannt wurden. Es wurde deutlich, dass die Kliniken vor der Aufgabe stehen, das Personalmanagement zu professionalisieren, um den langfristig bestehenden Konflikten entgegenzuwirken

The paradox of Indian women’s declining presence in the labor market despite their
advancements in higher education leads to questions regarding how this “leaky pipeline” can be
patched and (partly) prevented. At the same time, female educational advancement in Western
countries, such as Germany, does not equate to significantly more females in leadership positions
or changes in gender role expectations. In both the Indian and German contextual setting, women
face hurdles in developing their career and the risk of lifelong dependency or poverty.
This paper clarifies the perspectives of young females on leadership careers and success
before they enter the labor market and uses the results from career research to show “blind spots”
that might lead to hurdles for their future careers. The second contribution of the paper is
envisioning future teaching that (1) prevents females from making decisions that might lead to
dependency and poverty while fulfilling organizational and societal gender role expectations and
(2) fosters organizational changes that facilitates female careers. The Paper also reflects on the
learning stages necessary for transforming theoretical knowledge into practical solutions and
promoting more equal opportunities in the labor market.
While the importance of supervisors’ communication for the successful implementation of organisational change is often emphasised, evidence regarding the actual dimensions of change communication and the reaction of change recipients is scarce. As communication is highly context and culture specific, this study included participants from Germany and India. To meet these research aims, we conducted focus group discussions (FGD) with overall 50 graduate students with work experiences from Germany and India. We identified key dimensions of informative, empathic and participatory change communication that are of high importance for change recipients. The German and Indian participants had similar expectations regarding the informative and empathic dimensions of change communication. However, interestingly, their assessment of the actual participation differed substantially, with consequences for their emotional responses. The findings emphasise the crucial role of supervisors’ communication for employees’ emotions in times of change. Supervisors thereby need to consider the diverse dimensions of their communication and stimulate employees’ expectations regarding information, empathy and participation with different communicative activities and approaches. This study provides important insights into organisational change communication by analysing its key dimensions, linking it to employees’ emotions and considering the cultural context.
Despite the leaky pipeline of women on the way to top management positions, talent management research so far mostly neglects to integrate gender aspects in their concepts and theory. However, Gender studies show the relevant but mostly unconscious mechanism in society and organizations, which restrict career chances for women in a game in which the rules seem to be naturally set by traditional values and stereotypes. This qualitative study shows the perception of successful male and female managers concerning their perceptions of career options for both genders and gender equality in organizations, and what they expect from an equal-opportunity culture in organizations. The results show the necessity for a gender-sensitive Talent Management in research and practice.
