Remuneration structures in the public sector
The research project concentrated on the remuneration structures in collective agreements in the public sector. For the majority of public servants, remuneration is not freely negotiable and is instead determined by the terms of the Collective Agreement for the Civil Service of the Federal Republic of Germany (Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst des Bundes und der Kommunen - TVöD) or the Collective Agreement for the Civil Service of the States (Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst der Länder - TV-L).
The police use of robots
The arsenal of the German police is increasingly expanding to include robotised quadrupeds: the ‘Spot’ model from Boston Dynamics, for example, delights millions of people with its dance choreographies and slapstick-like demo videos. These robots have now also been encountered by the population of Shanghai, New York, Los Angeles and Honolulu, as well as visitors to Singapore's parks - each time in the service of the police and regulatory authorities. Spot’ has also been deployed in Germany, after the state of North Rhine-Westphalia acquired two of them. The ‘Police Robots’ project looks at the use of police robots from a legal and ethical perspective.
Municipal enterprises in the regime of the Data Use Act
In the context of local enterprises, the ability to mine data resources within and between organisations is becoming a critical aspect of the business model. In addition, the question of whether third parties should be allowed to use these data resources is an important point of consideration. The normative scope is determined by European and national regulations. The Open Data PSI Directive and its national implementation, the Data Use Act (DNG), establish two different legal regimes. Public bodies are subject to stricter rules than so-called public service companies. However, the essential question of which local enterprises are considered public service enterprises within the scope of the DNG and which are to be classified as public bodies remains partially unanswered by the DNG. This project will develop solutions to this problem.
Recruitment using public value strategies
The public sector faces increasing challenges in attracting and retaining sufficient numbers of skilled staff through traditional methods. In addition to the impact of demographic change, competition from the private sector for talent is also a concern. In this context, it is vital to identify strategies for attracting skilled professionals and motivating existing employees to remain in the public sector.
Knowledge management in public administration
To respond effectively to the systemic challenges of multidimensional transformation of the administration, it is essential to optimise existing governance resources. Knowledge represents one of these critical resources for managing a wide range of administrative tasks. In this way, knowledge helps to improve the capacity of the administration to act by enabling administrative staff to access relevant information, to check the quality of this information, to derive knowledge from it and to make decisions based on this knowledge on how to carry out their tasks. The aim of the research project is to develop a concept for integrated knowledge management in order to make existing knowledge available for administrative practice in the best possible way in the future.
