Constructing the international entrepreneurial identity : a study of international entrepreneurship sense-making narratives
2016
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli lisätä ymmärrystä ja tietoa merkityksellistämisen prosesseista matkalla kansainväliseen yrittäjyyteen sekä kansainvälisen yrittäjyysidentiteetin muodostumisesta. Teoreettinen ymmärrys kansainvälisestä yrittäjyydestä on edelleen vajaata ja epätasapainossa kansainvälistymis- ja yrittäjyysteorioiden kesken. Tarve painottaa vahvemmin yrittäjyyttä, yrittäjyysorientaatiota sekä saada perustavanlaatuista tietoa yksilön identiteettiprosesseista kansainvälisessä yrittäjyydessä olivat lähtökohtaisia syitä tälle tutkimukselle. Teoreettinen viitekehys muodostui monitieteellisestä käsitteistöstä ja teoriakentästä yrittäjyyden, kansainvälisen liiketalouden, sosiaalipsykolo…
Translanguaging as Playful Subversion of a Monolingual Norm in the Classroom
2018
A large part of the literature on translanguaging as a pedagogical theory has explored how an inclusive multilingual pedagogy can support students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds to actively participate in the classroom. While much of this literature approaches classroom translanguaging as an instructional strategy designed to promote multilingual interactional practices, we analyse how multilingual practices can also take place as subversive language play in an educational context that is driven by a monolingual norm. Our data are video-recorded lessons from secondary-level Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms in Finland in which students whose L1 is …
Motivational sources of practical nursing students at risk of dropping out from vocational education and training
2019
The aim of this study was to contribute to the understanding of the reasons for low or high academic motivation among practical nursing students at risk of dropping out from vocational education and training. The research data consisted of semi-structured interviews with 14 Finnish students, which were analysed by qualitative content analysis. The analysis identified six motivational sources. Two of these sources – Responsible agency and Completing out of necessity – were related to engagement in studying, whereas two other sources – Exhaustion from learning challenges and Tight-roping between competing responsibilities – were related to disengagement from studying. Emotional drive and Soci…
Rewilding Language Education: Emergent Assemblages and Entangled Actions
2021
Integrating concepts and techniques from ethnomethodology and sociomaterialism, this article investigates the observable material processes involving human action and place‐based contexts of language use enabled by locative media. The focal pedagogical intervention utilized mobile augmented reality (AR) activities, the development of which was inspired by research on learning ‘in the wild.’ Applying the principle of reverse engineering, we introduce a pedagogical approach termed ‘rewilding’ for its emphasis on designing supportive conditions for goal‐directed interaction outside of classrooms. Three instances of AR materials use are presented from an out‐of‐class activity associated with un…
Love Wins : A Love Lens Approach to Cultivation of Organization-Stakeholder Relationships
2020
This chapter adds to emerging research exploring the construct of joy by drawing attention to the value of more loving stakeholder relationships. Relationship management research has focussed attention on the antecedents, outcomes and quality of an organization’s relationships with various publics and stakeholders and has examined strategies that can nurture these relationships. However, not much of this research has addressed intimacy and passion in these relationships. Accordingly, this chapter draws on the theory of brand love developed in relationship marketing research and the theory of love from psychological research to build a theoretical framework of organization–stakeholder love (…
Pamięć i czas a (nie)bezpieczeństwo ontologiczne współczesnego człowieka
2019
Kluczową kategorią pojęciową niniejszego tekstu jest pamięć. Zdolność do podtrzymywania pewnej względnie stałej historii o „ja” jest dzisiaj traktowane jako istota naszej tożsamości. Pamięć jest jej warunkiem, podstawą i częścią jednocześnie. Tekst skupia się na rozważaniach nad kategorią pamięci, łącząc je z namysłem nad orientacją temporalną, a więc z naszym stosunkiem do czasu, a także z rozważaniami nad rolą, jaką pamięć odgrywa w procesie budowania poczucia bezpieczeństwa ontologicznego we współczesnym świecie
Orientācija uz nākotni un pretenziju līmenis kā studentu akadēmiskos sasniegumus prognozējoši faktori
2018
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai studentu orientācija uz nākotni un pretenziju līmenis ir saistīti ar akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem (un līdz ar to var kalpot par sasniegumus prognozējošiem faktoriem), un vai tie ir saistīti savā starpā. Pētījumā piedalījās 65 Latvijas Jūras Akadēmijas studenti vecumā no 18 līdz 28 gadiem (M=20,4 gadi, SD=1,7 gadi).

La genitorialità nella coppia omoaffettiva
2020

The essay deals with the delicate issue of the aspiration to procreative parenthood by homosexual couples in our legal system in the light of the relevant legislative prohibitions and the recent case-law, considered within the framework of the constitutional principle…
Effects of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Passion for Work on Performance Variables in Sports Clubs
2021
Entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work have been widely studied due to their effects on the behaviour and attitude of management teams in the short- and long-term. However, despite the influences of these variables on the sustainability and survival of an entity, there is a gap when considering the effects of these two performance variables in sports organisations. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to understand the influences of entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work on service quality and sporting performance. To this end, 199 Spanish non-profit sports clubs were analysed using instruments with good psychometric properties. Data analysis was carried out…
Psychometric Properties of the Personal and General Belief in a Just World Scales in the Argentine Context
