The focus of the Information Systems (IS) research on trust has been on the perception of trust and explaining the concept in terms of its antecedents. The merits of this descriptive and explanatory knowledge notwithstanding, the usefulness and applicability of this knowledge for organizations that aim at actively influencing their trust position i...
Article
Initial results suggest that decision support systems (DSSs) can trigger ‘directed forgetting’ in business settings if users trust in the DSS (Hertel et al., 2019). In the present study, we further examined this trust effect on DSS-cued forgetting and related positive effects on users’ cognitive resources, performance, and well-being. Moreover, we...

Nowadays fake news are heavily discussed in public and political debates. Even though the phenomenon of intended false information is rather old, misinformation reaches a new level with the rise of the internet and participatory platforms. Due to Facebook and Co., purposeful false information - often called fake news - can be easily spread by every...
Conference Paper
Organizations provide their employees with decision support systems (DSS) to facilitate successful decision making. However, the mere provision of a DSS may not be sufficient to facilitate beneficial work outcomes because employees often do not rely on a DSS. Therefore, we examined whether users' trust in a DSS increases positive effects of DSS pro...
Chapter
The past decade has been characterized by a strong increase in the use of social media and a continuous growth of public online discussion.

Abusive language has been corrupting online conversations since the inception of the internet. Substantial research efforts have been put into the investigation and algorithmic resolution of the problem. Different aspects such as “cyberbullying”, “hate speech” or “profanity” have undergone ample amounts of investigation, however, often using incons...
Conference Paper
User-generated online comments and posts increasingly contain abusive content that needs moderation from an ethical but also legislative perspective. The amount of comments and the need for moderation in our digital world often overpower the capacity of manual moderation. To remedy this, platforms often adopt semi-automated moderation systems. Howe...
Conference Paper
Having the right information at hand is crucial for decision-makers. To support decision-makers with adequate IT systems, it is necessary to know which type of information decision-makers need at their workplace. Therefore, our research goal is providing a framework that structures the information needs for decision-makers in large organizations. I...
Conference Paper
In recent years, online public discussions face a proliferation of racist, politically, and religiously motivated hate comments, threats, and insults. With the failure of purely manual moderation, platform operators started searching for semi-automated or even completely automated approaches for comment moderation. One promising option to (semi-) a...

This study discusses the potential value of automatic analytics of German texts to detect hate speech. In the course of a preliminary study, we collected a dataset of user comments on news articles, focused on the refugee crisis in 2015/16. A crowdsourcing approach was used to label a subset of the data as hateful and non-hateful to be used as trai...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
In business process modelling, it is known that using a consistent labelling style and vocabulary improves process model quality. In this regard, several existing approaches aim at the linguistic support for labelling model elements. At the same time, domain-specific ontologies have been proposed and used to capture important process-related knowle...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Increasing complexity in business processes and the resulting missing manageability are one of the main issues in business process management today. Process owners do not only have to keep track of one aspect of a process (e.g. the correct input and output, the efficiency or the compliance) but of combinations of these. In turn, these aspects are i...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Process models and consequently business process modelling languages get more and more complex. This is especially true for the event-driven process chain (EPC), since the absence of a clearly defined standard renders EPC modelling difficult. On top, modelling itself is no trivial task. To address this issue, several frameworks and guidelines have...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Domain-specific process modelling has gained increased attention, since traditional modelling languages struggle to meet the demands of highly specialized businesses. However, methodological support on the development of such domain-specific languages is still scarce, which hampers the specification of adequate modelling support. To this end, the p...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Business process management (BPM) becomes continuously challenging through a steadily increasing number and even more complex processes. For enabling an effective and efficient control of business processes, (semi-) automatic approaches are necessary as a supporting means. However, these approaches are often hardly applicable in practice since they...

Conference Paper
Full-text available
Event-driven process chains (EPCs) have been used to create business process models from the early 90s and are still used in research and practice today. However, up to today, there is still no accepted standard for the EPC modelling language, which caused several different EPC dialects to appear and disappear over the last decades. To contribute t...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Nowadays, most process modelling tools implement popular modelling languages such as the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) or the Event-driven Process Chain (EPC). However, in contrast to BPMN, no effort has yet been undertaken to standardize the EPC language, thus rendering EPCs as being merely a de-facto standard for business process mod...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
The Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) and the Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) are both frequently used modelling languages to create business process models. While there is a well-defined standard for BPMN, such a standard is missing for EPC. As a standard would be beneficial to improve interoperability among different vendors, this paper...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
When deciding about appropriate modelling languages, the degree of standardization often represents an important decision criterion. Although the EPC is commonly used for process modelling in the last decades, the absence of an official standard leads more and more to its non-consideration. A coherent meta model is a pillar for the specification of...
