Interview Data of the DZHW Study BerBeo

The project Monotoring Appointment Procedures (BerBeo) is a research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and carried out by the German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies GmbH (DZHW). The project analysed (procedural) quality assurance in appointment procedures for professors at German (state) universities through officers for appointment procedures. Officers for appointment procedures are defined as persons who are responsible for the procedural quality assurance of appointment procedures for professors and – depending on the implementation of their position – may also perform other tasks to support the decision-making process in appointment matters.

The data package made available for secondary use is based on qualitative expert interviews conducted with officers for appointment procedures, chairs of appointment committees and members of university leadership. The interviews, which were conducted between November 2020 and November 2021, focus on the quality assurance of appointment procedures for professors at German universities. In addition to the establishment and implementation of the types of professorial and non-professorial officers for appointment procedures to assure the quality of the procedures, the underlying understanding of quality of the respective actors and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the running of the procedures were also discussed.
Besides 10 interviews with officers for appointment procedures, 7 interviews with chairs of appointment committees and 7 interviews with members of university leaderships, the data package includes the interview guidelines, as well as the transcription guide, the cover letters used for field access, the data protection information and the declaration of consent to data protection.

项目《对任命程序进行监控》（BerBeo）是一项由联邦教育与研究部（BMBF）资助，并由德国高等教育与科学研究中心有限责任公司（DZHW）实施的研究项目。该项目通过对德国（州立）大学教授任命程序中的程序质量保证进行分析，探讨了程序质量保证的（程序性）质量问题。任命程序官员被定义为负责大学教授任命程序程序质量保证的个人，根据其岗位实施情况，他们还可能执行其他任务以支持任命事宜的决策过程。

为后续使用而提供的资料包基于对任命程序官员、任命委员会主席和大学领导成员进行的定性专家访谈。这些访谈于2020年11月至2021年11月间进行，重点关注德国大学教授任命程序的质量保证。除了对任命程序官员进行的10次访谈、对任命委员会主席进行的7次访谈以及对大学领导成员进行的7次访谈外，资料包还包括访谈指南、转录指南、用于现场访问的封面信、数据保护信息和数据保护同意声明。

此外，对任命程序官员、任命委员会主席和大学领导成员进行的访谈，以及对教授和非常任教授任命程序类型、非教授任命程序官员的类型、程序质量保证的理解以及Covid-19大流行对程序执行的影响等方面进行了讨论。
