Publications

ibw draws up reports and analyses at the interfaces between education and training, skill needs of businesses and qualifications.

ibw’s research work covers a wide gamut of topics and ranges from analyses of dual VET, school-based and tertiary education and labour market analyses onto continuing vocational education and training (CVET).

In our research library you will find well-founded data, studies and background analyses conducted by ibw at the interface between education, business and qualification. Most of our ibw studies have a national and sometimes also regional focus. On account of the increasingly strong international perspective due to the EU’s education policy and OECD’s comparisons of systems, however, there is also growing international demand for ibw’s expertise. ibw has been a partner or coordinator of a large number of EU projects for many years. In addition, ibw is a cooperation partner of the EU’s Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop).

    Personalentwicklung in Wiener Unternehmen

    Status Quo und Outsourcing-Bereitschaft

    ibw-research brief Nr. 26, Wien, 2006
    Dornmayr H.

    Das ibw erstellte im Auftrag des WIFI Wien eine Studie über den Status Quo der Personalentwicklung in Wiener Unternehmen und die Bereitschaft zum Outsourcing von Personalentwicklungsagenden. Das Ergebnis der Untersuchung zeigt eine große Verbreitung verschiedenster Personalentwicklungsinstrumente, die allerdings (erwartungsgemäß) stark von der Unternehmensgröße abhängig ist. Die Haltung gegenüber Outsourcing kann als ambivalent bezeichnet werden. Optimal erscheint den meisten Unternehmen eine Kombination von internen und externen Inputs im Bereich der Personalentwicklung. Denn neben vielen Vorteilen (z.B. neutraler, nicht betriebsblinder Blick von außen) werden auch verschiedene Nachteile von Outsourcing gesehen. Insbesonders die Optimierung der „Schnittstellenproblematik“ (d.h. die effiziente Gestaltung des zusätzlichen Kommunikationsaufwandes) kann als die zentrale Herausforderung für externe Anbieter von Dienstleistungen im Bereich Personalentwicklung betrachtet werden.

     

    The ibw conducted a study commissioned by the WIFI Vienna to examine the status quo of the personnel development in Viennese businesses and the willingness to outsource personnel development agen-as. The results of the study show a wide-spread use of a large variety of instruments for personnel development that (as was to be expected) depend strongly however on the size of the company. The attitude towards outsourcing can be seen as being ambivalent. For most of the businesses a mixture of internal and external input in the area of personnel development seemed to be the optimal solution. This is because in addition to the many advantages (e.g. neutral, new perspective of an outsider), outsourcing is seen as having various disadvantages as well. In particular the optimization of the “interface difficulties” (i.e. the efficient organization of the additional communication effort) can be viewed as the central challenge for external providers of services in the area of personnel development.
