Kolbinger worked in the fiduciary field as well as advising on wages and other pricing issues. In this context he undertook study trips to the USA, France and other European countries - especially on behalf of the Austrian productivity center. In 1976, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the University of Linz, he gave a well-regarded keynote speech on "Personnel and social orientation in business administration".

He belonged to the performance-oriented "Viennese School of Business Administration" as well as the sociological and national economic perspective of the Spann-Heinrich style. Accordingly, his interests moved on the sociological-economic as well as business-economic-macroeconomic border areas.

His lectures initially related to the field of general and industrial business administration. His main academic focus was human resources and finance, and above all "general business administration".

Michael Hofmann (WU Vienna), Gerhard Reber (JKU Linz) and Wilhelm Bühler (WU Vienna) are professors of his former assistants .

Publications

In books he published the "Construction plan for social management" (1957), "Basic questions of operational performance and remuneration policy" (1958), the "Elements of banking economics" (1964), "Operational human resources" (Volumes I and II, 2nd edition , 1972), "Labor market policy in the workplace through occupational and task design" (1977), "Business administration as a theory of the social performance order" (1980), "The humane measure of size in economy and society" (1983) as well as numerous fundamental essays and articles (e.g. in the concise dictionary of business administration, in the handbook of human resources, in the handbook of the organization) or in commemorative publications (as for Guido Fischer, Othmar Spann, August Marx, Goetz Briefs, etc.)

For Kolbinger's 60th birthday, his students wrote articles in the Festschrift Holistic-Understanding Consideration of the Social Performance Order - a contribution to holistic research and teaching (Vienna - New York, 1985, 775 pages).
