Vom 10.-12.06.2024 waren unsere Postdoktorandinnen Dr. Alina Bockshecker und Dr. Anika Nissen auf der NeuroIS-Konferenz in Wien.

🧑‍🏫 Dabei hat Frau Bockshecker unser Paper zum Thema "Cycle-Sensitive Knowledge Work? A NeuroIS Study Proposal for Improving Female Workers’ Task Management" vorgestellt.

📄 Das Paper lässt sich wie folgt zusammenfassen:

Hormone fluctuations due to the menstrual cycle can significantly im- pact women’s physical and cognitive performance. While athletes already incorporate this in training plans to optimize training outcomes, it is still neglected in knowledge work. To address this gap, we review existing literature on hormone fluctuations and their impact on cognitive performance to design a cycle-sensitive task manager for knowledge workers (this paper). The proposed follow-up design science study should incorporate both the physiological menstrual cycle data as well as tagging tasks based on their required cognitive performance (future paper). The resulting app can then arrange the upcoming tasks in accordance with the cognitive performance strengths of the respective menstrual phase. This will enhance awareness among female employees while allowing an increase in task performance through cycle-sensitive work task management.

🥳 Außerdem haben wir auch noch etwas zu feiern! Dr. Anika Nissen hat auf der diesjährigen Konferenz den Best Reviewer Award für Ihre herausragende Leistung als Gutachter gewonnen.
