Die Einfuhrung von Mitarbeitergesprachen im Fuhrungsalltag
Das Mitarbeitergesprach ist als Fuhrungsinstrument zwar verbreitet, doch die gangige Literatur liefert zumeist nur Durchfuhrungsratschlage. Dabei drangt sich die Frage auf, wie Fuhrungskrafte dieses Instrument neu einfuhren konnen. Nicht jedes Unternehmen ist gleich und noch weniger sind es die Menschen. Auch Fuhrungskrafte sind solch unterschiedliche Menschen. Das Instrument des Mitarbeitergespraches soll unternehmensweit eingesetzt werden und dabei keine zu groen Unterschiede aufweisen. Diesen Weg gilt es vor der Durchfuhrung des ersten Mitarbeitergespraches zu beschreiten. Es gibt diverse Hindernisse in der Unternehmenskultur und in den Fhrungsstilen zu beachten. Mittlere und untere Ebenen der Fhrung haben in bisherigen Ablufen Routinen entwickelt, deren Vernderung angeregt und untersttzt werden muss, um ein neues Instrument einzusetzen. Mitarbeitergesprche zur Personalentwicklung bieten eine Plattform fr Schulungsbedarfe und Wnsche. Bei flchendeckendem Einsatz mssen diverse Hindernisse beachtet werden, damit das Instrument des Mitarbeitergesprches wirkungsvoll eingesetzt werden kann.

The effect of firms' environmentally sustainable practices on economic performance
Companies are pressured by stakeholders to protect the environment while improving their economic performance. This study aims to further explore the impact of environmentally sustainable practices (ESP) on firm performance (FP), by considering the effects of green employee integration (GEI), environmental sustainability (ES), and employee environmental orientation (EEO). To test the set of hypotheses defined for this article, a closed-ended questionnaire survey was conducted with employees working in the manufacturing sector in China. Data from 325 employees were analysed using SmartPLS 4 software. The results demonstrate that environmentally sustainable practices (ESP) have a direct and significant influence on GEI, ES, and FP. In addition, GEI has a significant direct impact on ES and FP, and ES has a direct impact on FP. This research also demonstrated the partial mediation of GEI and ES and the moderation of EEO on the ESP-FP relationship. This research advances the scope of the ability, motivation, and opportunity theory and the social identity theory. Results suggest that managers should adopt, implement, and promote green practices, as this leads to involving employees in activities that can lessen adverse impacts on society and improve firm's economic performance, including in terms of reputation and profits.

The Impact of Induction and Mentoring Programs for Beginning Teachers: A Critical Review of the Research
This review critically examines 15 empirical studies, conducted since the mid1980s, on the effects of support, guidance, and orientation programs—collectively known as induction—for beginning teachers. Most of the studies reviewed provide empirical support for the claim that support and assistance for beginning teachers have a positive impact on three sets of outcomes: teacher commitment and retention, teacher classroom instructional practices, and student achievement. Of the studies on commitment and retention, most showed that beginning teachers who participated in induction showed positive impacts. For classroom instructional practices, the majority of studies reviewed showed that beginning teachers who participated in some kind of induction performed better at various aspects of teaching, such as keeping students on task, using effective student questioning practices, adjusting classroom activities to meet students 'interests, maintaining a positive classroom atmosphere, and demonstrating successful classroom management. For student achievement, almost all of the studies showed that students of beginning teachers who participated in induction had higher scores, or gains, on academic achievement tests. There were, however, exceptions to this overall pattern—in particular a large randomized controlled trial of induction in a sample of large, urban, low-income schools—which found some significant positive effects on student achievement but no effects on either teacher retention or teachers' classroom practices. The review closes by attempting to reconcile these contradictory findings and by identifying gaps in the research base and relevant questions that have not been addressed and warrant further research.
