Fields of activity

Research approach

Brohm-Badry is dedicated to questions of energizing people , organizations and society , which she researches from an interdisciplinary perspective. Motivation research, teaching-learning research and positive psychology form the basis of her scientific and popular science publications as well as her lectures.

Brohm-Badry calls for a realignment of the concept of performance. In everyday understanding, as well as physically, performance describes the work done in a unit of time. Performance is work through time (L = A / t). It is measured on the basis of the effects it generates. This understanding of performance leads to an increasing concentration of learning and working time and to competitive performance structures; there is no room for calm, deep, humane development, because maximum performance is achieved with maximum output in a minimum of time. The goal is to achieve more in less time. This has implications for individuals and organizations (loss of the ability to reflect, burnout, depression, demotivation, high staff turnover, etc.). Brohm-Badry therefore comes to the conclusion that people, organizations and society need a new definition of the term performance that includes the physical, mental and social well-being of people. Brohm-Badry advocates defining performance as a humanistic performance paradigm : performance = work x well-being through time (L = (A x W) / t).
