The turning academic tide: Chances for personnel selection research The turning academic tide: Chances for personnel selection research The psychology of personnel selection is one of the oldest and most important applied domains within psychology. After a period of little academic interest in the Netherlands for this domain, the present age offers new chances for selection research. The Dutch governmental research organization NWO requests submitted research proposals to deliver results which are societally useful. Selection research without any doubt fulfills this requirement. Results from 82 meta-analyses of psychological research (Mitchell, 2012) demonstrate the significance of research valorization as well: the tenability in practice of psychological lab research was best for work and organizational psychology, specifically in the area of selection, training, personnel management and organizational behavior. Selection research needs to make use of the favorable impression it makes by conducting more and innovative research, such as studying technologically advanced selection methods and the usefulness of social media for selection. Such research will promote an evidence-based selection practice.

Abstract Billions of data in social media have provided a very influential platform for researchers to make research on data analysis. In the digital age, it has become essential for conducting an analysis of written things in social media in which the individuals express easily themselves without any pressure and for studying big data. It has been known that there are shared subjects on the education like almost every subject on the Twitter platform. Accordingly, it is often shared about many issues relating to education. The purpose of the present study is to analyze shared ideas on the ‘teaching’ profession through this program, which has become popular recently. It was observed that the shared tweets were often related to the current problems about education and Twitter was used as a platform by the individuals to explain their problems. It was a considerable finding that most of the tweets focused on contracted teaching, the positions of appointment, public personnel selection exam and the system of exams, issues about assignation, paid to teach and interview issues that there are a great number of reaction tweets against negative evaluation about vacations of teacher and particularly, against the situations just like damaging the sanctity the teaching profession and these tweets take place in the category the most retweeted. With this research, it is suggested to make analyses on social media platforms with other data mining techniques on the same subject or different subjects, to analyze the shares of institutions and to examine the sharing of the Ministry of National Education

Zusammenfassung. Abstract: Hintergrund: Die Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung (BZgA) ist als Fachbehörde unter anderem für die Umsetzung nationaler Programme zur Suchtprävention zuständig. Die jährlichen Arbeitsprogramme werden mit dem Bundesministerium für Gesundheit abgestimmt und sehen aktuell vor dem Hintergrund der Public-Health-Relevanz Schwerpunkte in der Prävention der legalen Substanzen Tabak und Alkohol vor. Vorrangige Zielgruppen sind Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene, da sich bei ihnen riskante Konsummuster entwickeln und festigen können. Die Präventionsprogramme der BZgA umfassen schulische Angebote, Webportale, Social Media und Printmedien wie Informationsbroschüren. Aktuelle Situation: Die Corona-Pandemie hat Einfluss genommen auf die Suchtprävention der BZgA. Zu nennen ist die thematische Verzahnung im Kontext von Corona und ein veränderter inhaltlicher Beratungsbedarf – telefonisch und online. Auch die durch die Corona-Pandemie bedingten Kontaktbeschränkungen während des „Lockdowns“ sowie die neuen Rahmenbedingungen für ein persönliches Miteinander haben die Suchtprävention verändert. Interaktive Präventionsangebote in Schulen wurden ebenso wie die Unterstützung von Mitmachaktionen in Sportvereinen oder die Durchführung von Peer-Programmen ausgesetzt. Dafür rückte die Nutzung digitaler Möglichkeiten sowohl bei der Umsetzung von suchtpräventiven Angeboten als auch in der Kooperation und Vernetzung mit den Ländern in einen neuen Fokus. Die Corona-Krise kann perspektivisch auch eine Chance für mehr Digitalisierung in der Suchtprävention werden.
