Have you ever wondered why, in spite of the highest safety precautions, catastrophic air accidents still occur from time to time? You may just as well ask, how is it possible that a lender would give $320 million to an insolvent US bank, with no idea how to get the money back? In Crash Communication, Peter Brandl combines his professions—pilot, manager, and entrepreneur—to draw striking parallels between aviation and the corporate world. In his book, he shows that the "human error" factor follows a fatal logic. Brandl offers original and relevant answers to fundamental questions of leadership and communication.

English summary: In this work, the author concentrates on sociological theory building in the field of organizational theory, to be more precise, on agency theory as a branch of the New Institutional Economics which analyzes the relationship between principals and agents.

Das Buch vermittelt einen umfassenden Einblick in die Situation von Erzieherinnen, um hieraus neue Impulse für die Qualitätsdiskussion und die Debatte um die Erzieherinnenausbildung zu gewinnen. Arbeitsbedingungen, Arbeitszufriedenheit und Fluktuation werden zunächst mittels einschlägiger Literatur beleuchtet. Eine vom Autor durchgeführte Untersuchung, an der 145 Tageseinrichtungen in Nordrhein-Westfalen beteiligt waren, stellt zwei Fragenkomplexe ins Zentrum: Wie steht es um die Anreize, die die Arbeit in Kindertagesstätten den Fachkräften bietet? Wie verbringen die Fachkräfte andererseits ihre Freizeit? Dazu wird eine theoretische Konzeption entwickelt, die auf einer umfassenden kritischen Darstellung der Bereiche Arbeitszufriedenheit und Freizeit aufbaut. Überlegungen zur Entwicklung und Bildung von Kindern münden in die These, daß auch die private Lebensgestaltung der Fachkräfte für die Arbeit mit den Kindern bedeutsam ist. Das Buch deckt vielerlei Zusammenhänge zwischen Freizeit und Arbeitszufriedenheit von Erzieherinnen auf und entwickelt Perspektiven für die Praxis.
