  abstract     = {{Although music apps are becoming increasingly popular, there has been little research on informal music practices with apps. This article presents findings of an ongoing study on learning processes and aesthetic experiences with informal appmusic practices. In particular, it discusses the aesthetic practices (Reckwitz, 2008b) of using specific places for making music. In our grounded theory study (Charmaz, 2014) we collected data using interviews, participant observation and videography. As exemplary cases, this article presents two analyses of the use of ‘inspiring places’ and ‘safe places’. The results suggest that perceiving the atmosphere is a fundamental prerequisite for both places. Additionally, the results shed light on aesthetic aspects of mobile music making. (DIPF/Orig.)}},

  abstract     = {{In Switzerland, every student graduating from grammar school can begin to study at a university. This leads to high dropout rates. Although students’ motivation is considered a strong predictor of performance, the development of motivation during students’ transition from high school to university has rarely been investigated. Additionally, little is known about the relation of motivational aspects with other influences on study performance. The present longitudinal study addresses this research gap and examines the development of economics and management students’ study motivation. It encompasses four waves of data collected throughout the first year, using quantitative online surveys. In total, the sample consists of 820 students. Data is analysed using latent change modelling. Results indicate that students start at a higher level of intrinsic motivation compared to extrinsic motivation. The variability of the starting value of the two constructs is also differing. The analysis also shows a gradual decline in students’ motivation. Above all, the transition from secondary to higher education seems to be a driver for this decline.}},

  abstract     = {{Advancements in information technology have changed the way customers experience a service encounter and their relationship with service providers. Especially technology-based self-service channels have found their way into the 21st century service economy. While research embraces these channels for their cost-efficiency, it has not examined whether a shift from personal to self-service affects customer–firm relationships. Drawing from the service-dominant logic and its central concept of value-in-context, we discuss customers’ value creation in self-service and personal service channels and examine the long-term impact of these channels on customer retention. Using longitudinal customer data, we investigate how the ratio of self-service versus personal service use influences customer defection over time. Our findings suggest that the ratio of self-service to personal service used affects customer defection in a U-shaped manner, with intermediate levels of both self-service and personal service use being associated with the lowest likelihood of defection. We also find that this effect mitigates over time. We conclude that firms should not shift customers toward self-service channels completely, especially not at the beginning of a relationship. Our study underlines the importance of understanding when and how self-service technologies create valuable customer experiences and stresses the notion of actively managing customers’ cocreation of value. }},

While students' motivation is considered a strong predictor of performance, the development of motivation during students' transition from high school to university has rarely been investigated.

The present mixed methods study addresses this research gap and examines the development of economics students' study motivation. The longitudinal mixed-method study included three waves of data collected using quantitative surveys and a series of five interviews conducted with 14 first-year students over eight months. Regarding students' development over time, the quantitative analysis showed a gradual decline in students' motivation. However, in the interviews, certain events during the first year were identified as critical incidents demotivating students. These insights into the development of students' motivation at a business school show that concrete incidents influence students' motivational development; thus, they could be transformed by structural changes.}},

  abstract     = {{The aim of this qualitative study is first to investigate the attitude development of students in their initial year at university. College effectiveness research has shown that attitudes towards studying as well as to one's university are key factors influencing student engagement. Up to now, little is known about the processes through which such attitudes develop. Based on the theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980), the study addresses this research gap in three parts: a) development paths of students' attitudes towards studying and the university; b) the normative behaviour of the fellow students as well as significant persons, c) university-related experiences during the first year influencing students' attitude development. 
To answer these research questions, a series of five interviews was conducted throughout the first year with a total of 13 first-year students at the University of St. Gallen/Switzerland. Data analysis was performed referring to the procedures suggested by Neale (2012) for qualitative longitudinal data. To master the challenge of displaying developments over time, graphical analysis was used to construct a case history (cf. Henderson, Holland et al., 2012) for each individual. Regarding the students' developments over time, the analysis shows the participants' attitudes towards the university became more differentiated over time. A second major result concerns frictions between students' own attitudes and what they perceive to be the dominant normative behaviour. It became obvious that this developmental process is influenced by concrete incidents students experience during the first year and thus, can be shaped by structural changes.}},

  abstract     = {{The proposed paper aims to investigate the longitudinal development of students' motivation over the first year of their studies at a business school by using latent growth curve modeling. The study tackles the following core research questions: How do first-year university students' intrinsic and extrinsic vary over time? Which (motivational) factors are related to students' motivational development? Although motivational dispositions have been analyzed extensively in previous studies, their longitudinal development has hitherto not been examined in the higher education context.

This longitudinal study is conducted at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. The current sample includes 280 first-year students who have been surveyed three times and who are representative of the first-year student population.

Descriptive results show that prior to their studies, students were motivated most by intrinsic factors, however, extrinsic motivation was also quite high. Employing latent growth curve modeling, it could be shown that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation decline significantly over the course of the first year (8 months).

The study contributes to motivation theory by providing further insights into the development of academic motivation over time. Latent growth curve modeling as a method can be well used for longitudinal data analysis, thus, excluding measurement error from longitudinal data. Furthermore, the study supports educational developers by determining factors influencing students' motivational development.}},
