Appendix Abstract This systematic literature review examines the impact of organizational culture on employee well-being, by analyzing studies from different levels of the organizational culture Scheins Model (2017). Organizational culture shapes the working environment and nurtures either positive or negative well-being. Six factors of organizational culture will be examined, two of each layer of Schein's model (2017); leadership, communication, philosophy, values, trust, and teamwork. The primary objective is to understand the role organizational culture plays in influencing employee well-being. And how the different levels impact each other. The research includes books, journals, articles, qualitative/quantitative, and mixed-method studies. The findings include the importance for managers to understand the different layers of organizational culture, and how they impact each other and can be changed. As well as the positive and negative effects of organizational culture on employee well-being. Lastly, the mediating and moderating factors of employee well-being impacted by organizational culture are highlightedItem Restricted The Impact of Misrepresented Mexican Pre-Columbian Imagery in Contemporary Media(2024) Villanueva Bracho, Amelia; Ciechanowicz, Anc; López, Valeria Garci-Crespo; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted The Role of Hedonic Motivations and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) in Online Consumption Behaviors of Different Generations : A Comparative Analysis on Generations X, Y and Z(2024) Tükenmez, Eyüp Orhan; Koç, Hasan; Ülker, Barış; Faculty of Business Administration; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: This systematic literature review examines cultural differences in decision-making behaviors under organizational contexts influenced by uncertainty avoidance, long-term orientation, risk, and ambiguity attitudes. The study primarily focuses on uncertainty avoidance, a significant cultural dimension outlined by Hofstede (2001), and its implications on organizational and individual decision-making processes. The theoretical foundation draws on seminal works, including Kahneman et al. (1979) prospect theory, March et al ([1958]1992) bounded rationality view of organizational theory, cultural dimensions (Hofstede, 2001; Hofstede et al., 2010), in order to provide insights to understand how uncertainty influences rational decision-making. The study also highlights the role of cognitive behavioral approaches by emphasizing bounded rationality in organizational decision-making. Research objectives include identifying cultural determinants of uncertainty avoidance, examining psychological mechanisms underlying this behavior, and assessing its impact on organizational outcomes like innovation and strategic decision-making. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing secondary data sources. The analysis includes a bibliometric co-citation cluster study to visualize the connections between seminal works in the field. Key findings highlight the significant role of cultural norms, beliefs, and values in shaping organizational behavior and outcomes, particularly in terms of innovation, adaptability, and strategic decision-making. The study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how uncertainty avoidance influences economic and organizational activities across different cultural settings. Limitations include language barriers and the availability of cross-cultural studies, suggesting future research directions to address these gaps. iiiItem Restricted Visual Echoes Of A Persian Palimpsest : Shahnameh's Narrative Revival And Cultural Preservation(2024) Haghighat, Fatemeh; Müller, Felix; Rieß, Henrik; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Fig. 1. Caligraphy of the first verse of Shahnameh (Book of Kings): “In the name of the lord of the soul and wisdom, whose wisdom, man’s thought cannot surpass.” This research paper examines how interactive visual storytelling techniques can be employed to revive the cultural significance of Shahnameh, the cele- brated Persian epic poem by Ferdowsi, and engage a broader, global audience. The study analyzes the key elements of Shahnameh, including its characters, stories, cultural values, and historical context, and comparatively evaluates traditional and modern sto- rytelling methods to bridge the gap between the ep- ic's rich heritage and contemporary audiences. The findings inform the design of a tabletop role-playing game that leverages Shahnameh's structure, themes, and visual language to immerse players in the myth- ological realm, thereby promoting cultural aware- ness and preservation
