After four years at the University of Münster, Prof. Dr. Julia Backmann is moving on to a new chapter. On September 1, she joined the University of St. Gallen as Professor and Co-Director of the Institute for Leadership and Human Resource Management (IFPM).
🔍 Since coming to Münster in August 2022, Julia has led the Chair for Transformation of Work and served as Co-Director of ChanCe. Her research focuses on how social and technological change transforms work, including new forms of teamwork, artificial intelligence, leadership, and organizational change.
How teams respond to ideas can be just as important for creativity as generating them in the first place. The new study “Rewarded to Reject? Exploring Motivational Roots of Idea Rejection in Teams” by Matthias Felix Sinnemann, Matthias Michael Weiss, and Julia Backmann, recently published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior, examines how different reward structures influence idea rejection and team creativity.
Recently, our ChanCe team participated in the Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting 2026 in Philadelphia, the world's premier gathering of management scholars. Bringing together thousands of researchers from around the world, the conference provided a unique platform to present research, exchange ideas, and discuss the future of management and organizations.
How employees perceive organizational change is rarely static. As change unfolds, employees continuously reassess whether it benefits their work, and these changing perceptions shape how they engage with the process.
Earlier this week, members of ChanCe participated in the Symposium on New Work and Work Transformation at the University of Groningen. The symposium provided an opportunity to exchange ideas on current developments shaping the future of work.
Recently, Beatrice Schult participated in the GSERM Global School in Empirical Research Methods at the University of St. Gallen, an international doctoral program focused on advanced research methods.
As part of the program, Bea attended the course “Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)” taught by Peer Fiss. The course focused on configurational approaches that explore how multiple pathways can lead to similar outcomes and provide a different perspective on complex organizational phenomena.
Dear Students,
First of all, we would like to sincerely thank you for your interest in the project seminars that we introduced as a new offering in the major Management. It is therefore all the more regrettable that we must inform you that the project seminars from the Chair for Transformation of Work and the Chair for Strategic Management cannot be offered in the winter semester 26/27. The reason is an exceptional situation: Prof. Dr. Julia Backmann is leaving the university, and Prof. Dr. Verena Rieger is going on maternity leave. We ask for your understanding.
Recently, members of ChanCe participated in the EURAM 2026 Conference in Kristiansand, Norway. Under the conference theme “Navigating High Waters - Managing in an age of disruption,” researchers from across Europe came together to discuss current developments and future directions in management research.
