German Public Corporate Governance-Modelcode (G-PCGM)
A Public Corporate Governance Code prescribes regulations for the management and supervision of enterprises and contains internationally and nationally recognised standards for good and responsible governance. Enterprises can diverge from the code but are then obliged to disclose and justify the deviations (comply-or-explain principle). This enables enterprises to reflect on sector- and enterprise-specific requirements.Further information on the Expert Commission and an overview of literature on the needs and opportunities of a Public Corporate Governance Code can be found on:www.pcg-musterkodex.d

Does Social Presence Increase Perceived Competence? Evaluating Conversational Agents in Advice Giving Through a Video-Based Survey
Conversational agents (CA) have drawn increasing interest from HCI research. They have become popular in different aspects of our lives, for example, in the form of chatbots as the primary point of contact when interacting with an insurance company online. Additionally, CA find their way into collaborative settings in education, at work, or financial advisory. Researchers and practitioners are searching for ways to enhance the customer's experience in service encounters by deploying CA. Since competence is an important treat of a financial advisor, they only accept CA in their interaction with clients if it does not harm their impression on the client. However, we do not know how the social presence of the CA affects this perceived competence. We explore this by evaluating three prototypes with different social presences. For this, we conducted a video-based online survey. In contrast to prior studies focusing on single human-computer interaction, our study explores CA in a dyadic setting of two humans and one CA. First, our results support the Computers-Are-Social-Actors paradigm as the CA with a strong social presence was perceived as more competent than the other two designs. Second, our data show a positive correlation between CA's and advisor's competence. This implies a positive impact of the CA on the service encounter as the CA and advisor can be seen as a competent team

Public Pay Studie: Top-Managementvergütung öffentlicher Unternehmen, Perspektiven für digitale Governance und nachhaltige Vergütungsstrukturen (P-Pay)
Die Vergütung von Top-Managementmitgliedern öffentlicher Unternehmen ist ein zentraler Faktor für nachhaltige Daseinsvorsorge und Vertrauen in den Staat. Die Top-Managementvergütung gilt als Kristallisationspunkt einer guten Unternehmensführung und besitzt besondere Bedeutung im Wettbewerb um die fachlich und charakterlich besten Talente als Unternehmenslenker:innen und maßgebliche Gesellschafts- und Demokratiegestalter:innen für den öffentlichen Sektor. Kontroverse öffentliche Debatten und intensive Mediendiskussion unterstreichen die anhaltende Relevanz, Aktualität und Dringlichkeit dieses Themas.Die als Langfristvorhaben konzipierte, jährlich erscheinende Public Pay Studie untersucht aktuelle Muster bei der Höhe, Ausgestaltung und Offenlegung der Top-Managementvergütung öffentlicher Unternehmen und zeigt Perspektiven für nachhaltige Vergütungsstrukturen und digitale Governance auf
