Dr. Eva Zedlacher is assistant professor of Management at the Department of Business and Management. She joined Webster Vienna Private University in 2019. Before joining Webster she worked as pre- and post-doc researcher at Vienna University of Technology and in the field of organizational development at two large Austrian-based organizations.

Zedlacher’s current research focus lies in bystander and managerial responses to organizational (mis)behavior and new forms of organizing. Her research has received large-scale funding from various institutions and two nominations for Academy of Management awards.

In a new research project funded by the Chamber Of Labour (Lower Austria), Zedlacher investigates the long-term effects of working four days-a-week instead of five on employee behavior and organizational identification.

If you work in a four-days work week (“4-Tage-Woche”) and are interested in participating in this research (either via interviews or company surveys) please contact the research team via fourismore@webster.ac.at.

Dr. Viraliano Barberio joined Webster Vienna Private University in July 2024. Dr. Barberio is also a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of the Italian Switzerland in Lugano. He got his PhD in Management Science from the University of Bologna in 2009. He was a visiting scholar at the Center for Computational Analysis of Social and Organizational Systems (CSOS) in Pittsburgh and, the Center for Organizational Research (CORe) in Lugano.

Barberio's research is grounded in organization theory and is also highly multidisciplinary. One of his main research interests is in organizational identification and organizational identity change. Recently, he studied the dynamics of identity hybridization of the main British political parties, as well as the communication of multiple identities in the city of Vienna.

Barberio’s research is also concerned with the collective sensemaking and aggregated behavior enabled by social media. In this area his research has dealt with the Open Source Software community, and more recently with the social media reactions to anti-crisis measures (e.g., in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic). Methodologically. Barberio is an expert in Computer Assisted Textual Analysis (e.g., NLP) and Social Network Analysis.
