“…For instance, at the individual level, there is evidence for personality differences in people in emergency-service professions (i.e., the “Rescue Personality”; Klee and Renner, 2013 , 2016 ; Mitchell, 1983 ; Salters-Pedneault et al, 2010 ). At the organizational level, military organizations are distinct from other organizations in a number of features (e.g., special forms of socialization, a pronounced importance of symbols and rituals, military-specific camaraderie, the principle of order and obedience; Richter, 2017 ), thus contributing to a military identity ( Kümmel, 2018 ).…”

“…Fifth, we operationalized commitment and study satisfaction as organizational variables, although there is a confounding of individual and organizational aspects within these variables. We chose this approach as the Bundeswehr as military organization has well-known organizational features ( Richter, 2017 ), and we considered individual perceptions of organizational well-being more crucial on psychological health outcomes. Nevertheless, further research could assess both self- and other-rated indicators of organizational features to obtain a more balanced picture.…”

“…In order to meet this need, the present study examined a population of soldier students (i.e., young officer candidates currently undergoing studies at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich) of the German Federal Armed Forces ( Bundeswehr )—a sample that comprises both a military affiliation and non-military university studies. Taking account of the German Bundeswehr as “special organization” ( Richter, 2017 ), we incorporated the examination of organizational factors above personality traits as potentially crucial predictors of psychological health in this sample. We further assessed different strategies in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, which we tested as potential mediators between individual and organizational factors and psychological health (i.e., loneliness, life satisfaction, COVID-19 stress).…”

Individual and Organizational Factors in Coping With COVID-19 in Soldier Students

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant burden across different industrial sectors. Generally, an increase in psychological stress experiences has been reported, while the stress and coping responses of specific, potentially burdened populations have received less attention thus far. Thus, the present study investigated relations between individual (i.e., extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness) and organizational (i.e., organizational commitment and study satisfaction) factors, indicators of psychological health (i.e., loneliness, life satisfaction, COVID-19-related stress), and possible mediating effects of four broad coping dimensions (active coping, avoidant coping, social support, positive cognitive restructuring) in a specific sample of soldier students who engage in a double-role being military affiliates and students of non-military subjects. To this end, we assessed data of soldier students at two measurement points (N = 106 at t1 and N = 63 at t2) shortly after the second national lockdown in Germany (20. May 2021 to 11. July 2021) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Personality traits showed expected associations with indicators of psychological health, i.e., positive relations between neuroticism and social loneliness, between extraversion and COVID-19 stress, and negative relations between neuroticism and life satisfaction. Remarkably, organizational variables showed effects above and beyond personality traits on loneliness and life satisfaction. Neither individual, nor organizational factors could predict change in psychological health over time. We found evidence for mediation effects through active coping, avoidant coping, and the use of social support, but not through positive cognitive restructuring. Findings highlight the relative importance of organizational factors besides personality traits for psychological health in a military student sample, holding important implications for designing efficient support systems in the military.

“…To answer these questions a simulation is the appropriate method of choice. Simulation as a method for mapping production processes and investigating effects that cannot be studied to the same extent in reality is widely used in engineering (Richter 2017;de Sousa Junior et al 2019).…”

Manufacturing companies still have relatively few points of contact with the circular economy. Especially, extending life time of whole products or parts via remanufacturing is an promising approach to reduce waste. However, necessary cost-efficient assessment of the condition of the individual parts is challenging and assessment procedures are technically complex (e.g., scanning and testing procedures). Furthermore, these assessment procedures are usually only available after the disassembly process has been completed. This is where conceptualization, data acquisition and simulation of remanufacturing processes can help. One major constraining aspect of remanufacturing is reducing logistic efforts, since these also have negative external effects on the environment. Thus regionalization is an additional but in the end consequential challenge for remanufacturing. This article aims to fill a gap by providing an regional remanufacturing approach, in particular the design of local remanufacturing chains. Thereby, further focus lies on modeling and simulating alternative courses of action, including feasibility study and eco-nomic assessment.
