1. The emergence of shared leadership in product development project teams : doctoral thesis of the third-cycle Bologna study program Project managementMaximilian Philipp Müller, 2024, doctoral dissertation Abstract: Over the past two decades, leadership concepts have emerged through the influence of complexity theory, such as the concept of shared leadership. Empirical research confirms the benefits of shared leadership in complex organisational environments. However, little is known about how shared leadership emerges. The aim of this thesis is to provide deeper insights into the emergence of shared leadership in complex environments such as product development project teams. The research question is how shared leadership emerges in product development project teams. In an exploratory multi–design case study with three product development project teams. The company in which the case study was conducted operates in the automotive industry and is an international engineering provider. The data was collected through semi–structured interviews, observation of team meetings, and internal project and team documents and analysed via the Gioia Methodology, a network analysis, the event–structure analysis and the qualitative content analysis. Based on the analysis, factors, relations between these factors and a process–orientated framework for the emergence of shared leadership was created. The originality of the research lies in the extension of the shared leadership theory to include the emergence phenomenon. The findings are relevant for researchers as they extend the theory of shared leadership in the project context by adding factors, their relationship and processes for the emergence of shared leadership. The findings may also be valuable for practitioners working in temporary complex organisations. My research can be generalised to other teams in product development projects and teams working in complex corporate environments.

2. Unlocking sustainable commuting : exploring the nexus of macroeconomic factors, environmental impact, and daily travel patternsSergej Gričar, Nemanja Lojanica, Saša Obradović, Štefan Bojnec, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: This paper examines normality in time series econometrics for a sustainable energy transition. By analysing data from January 1997 to December 2021, this study integrates macroeconomic, environmental, and energy data to gain insights into the potential changes in daily commuting patterns among Slovenians. Various methods, including unit root tests such as the augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF), Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS), and Zivot–Andrews (Z-A), as well as other tests, are employed. Additionally, the vector autoregressive (VAR) model, Granger Causality and regression analysis determine the impact. This paper contributes to uncovering valuable information within data from macrovariables using macroeconometric techniques. It also provides insights that can support evidence-based decision-making for sustainable energy transition policies in Slovenia. The results of the normality tests indicate that most macro variables are integrated; there is a need for a careful analysis of integration levels and appropriate testing methods. These findings have implications for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in economics, the environment, and energy supply. At the same time, this research highlights that gross domestic product, unemployment, inflation, and carbon dioxide positively impact car usage among Slovenians, while gasoline prices and commuters have a negative one. While the recently investigated development of sustainable commuting does not work, the study highlights an innovation: the connection of time series econometrics, which offers a better understanding of future commuting patterns on energy consumption and their causalities.
