Altruistic leadership and affiliative humor's role on service innovation: Lessons from Spanish public hospitals.
2018
Despite literature identifies aspects that might promote innovation, the relationship between the leadership style and nurses' innovative behavior still remains unclear, and little research has provided evidence of this. To help advance in knowledge of effects of leadership on nurses' innovative behavior, we researched the effect of altruistic leadership on nurses' innovative behavior. In addition, the mediating role of affiliative humor in the relationship between altruistic leadership and nurses' innovative behavior was examined. Questionnaire survey method was followed with a sample of 324 nurses working in public hospitals in Spain. We used structural equation models, to check the resea…
Associations of Trait Emotional Intelligence with Social Support, Work Engagement, and Creativity in Japanese Eldercare Nurses
2016

Abstract This paper examines the relationship between health endowment and later-life outcomes in the labour market. The analysis is based on reduced-form models in which labour market outcomes are regressed on genetic variants related to the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. We use linked Finnish data that have many strengths. Genetic risk scores constitute exogenous measures for health endowment, and accurate administrative tax records on earnings, employment and social income transfers provide a comprehensive account of an individual’s long-term performance in the labour market. The results show that although the direction of an effect is generally consistent with theoretical re…

Comme tous les termes d’une langue, les concepts philosophiques n’ont de sens que par leur relation à l’ensemble de la conceptualité à laquelle ils appartiennent. Mais cela signifie que la relation entre les concepts n’est pas moins essentielle que ces derniers. Et c’est cette relation que disent les éléments du langage que l’on appelle communément des particules de liaison comme de, et, après…, en dehors desquelles la parole serait pure nomination. Seulement, poser l’égale importance de ces ...
La cosmicité de l’existence : entre Patocka et Minkowski
2019
La convergence de deux dimensions des pensées de Patočka et de Minkowski en direction d’une phénoménologie non-égologique de la vie permet d’envisager la possibilité non tant d’une « comparaison » qui conduit bien souvent à juxtaposer des pensées de façon assez stérile, mais de lire Patočka à partir de Minkowski et inversement. S’ils se sont tous deux recommandés d’une phénoménologie dont le sens est assez différent, ils ont tous deux invité à reconnaître, plus, à interroger le caractère mouv...
Motivations for Business Start-up: Are There any Differences Between Disabled and Non-disabled Microfinance Clients?
2015
We use an Ecuadorian sample to investigate if there are differences in motivations for business start-up between persons with and without disabilities. Generally, we do not document significant differences. The reason might be that we use a sample selected among customers of the microfinance bank Banco D-MIRO. Without targeted incentives, disabled microfinance customers must resemble non-disabled customers. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The Development and Initial Validation of a Short, Self-Report Measure on Social Inclusion for People with Intellectual Disabilities-A Transnational …
2021
Sport has been promoted as a means of increasing the social inclusion of persons with intellectual disabilities. Suitable tools for evaluating this claim are not readily available. The aim of this study was to develop a self-report tool for use by people with intellectual disabilities regarding the social inclusion they experience in sport and in the community. A three-phase process was used. In the first phase an item bank of questionnaire items was created and field-tested with 111 participants. Initial factor analysis identified 42 items which were further evaluated in Phase 2 with 941 participants from six European countries. Construct validity was established first through Exploratory …

‘Celebrating diverse motherhood’: physically disabled women’s counter-narratives to their stigmatised identity as mothers
2018
This study examined how disabled women negotiated their stigmatised identity as mothers by presenting counter-narratives to the culturally dominant narrative of disabled motherhood. Eleven Finnish physically disabled mothers were interviewed. The data were analysed by focusing on these counter-narratives, their linguistic features and their functions in the interviews. The disabled mothers produced four types of counter-narratives about their motherhood experiences: (1) celebrating diverse motherhood through individual coping; (2) performing motherhood through collaborative caring; (3) boosting motherhood through praising one’s children; and (4) normalising (disabled women’s) motherhood thr…
