Worries about leadership among highly educated professionals: Associations with career aspirations and personal work goals.
 We investigated how highly educated professionals’ worries about leadership roles relate to their career aspirations and personal work goals. Altogether 1151 professionals without leadership positions participated in the survey study. Participants with a high number of leadership-related worries were not planning to pursue leadership positions. Instead, their goals included increasing personal well-being or ending their career. Vice versa, participants with least leadership-related worries strived for career advancement. These findings indicate that worries about…

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Management

2019

This study focuses on the impact of advancing Artificial Intelligence systems on management during the next decade. Much of the attention around Artificial Intelligence and work revolves around the replacement versus augmentation debate. According to previous literature, rather than simply replacing tasks, machine learning tools can complement human decision making. Based on semi-structured expert interviews, this study provides tentative evidence that this may be true for managers on the highest level of organisations, but perhaps less so for operational and middle managers who may find a larger number of their tasks replaced. As routine tasks of supervision and administration can be autom…

Experiences of arbitrary management among Finnish academics in an era of academic capitalism

2020

For the last two decades, Finnish universities have faced the implementation of new systems of control and undergone dramatic changes that have worsened academic working conditions–such as corporatisation and budget cuts. This article explores Finnish academics’ experiences of university reforms with a special focus on the consequences it has had in terms of organisational socio-dynamics. We adapt Glynos and Howarth’s logics of critical explanation and apply this theoretical framework to analyse the interviews of academics who, against their own will, did not have their contracts renewed. This approach describes, explains, and criticises the logics–which are social, political and fantasmati…

Esimiestyön merkitys työhyvinvoinnin tukena : kokemuksia ikääntyvien liikunnanopettajien työurien varrelta

2019

Koulun johtamisella on keskeinen rooli ikääntyneiden opettajien työhyvinvointiin ja jaksamiseen. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin yli 30 vuoden työuran tehneitä liikunnanopettajia ja kahta liikunnanopettajataustaista rehtoria. Tavoitteena oli saada tietoa siitä, mitkä asiat koulun johtamisessa ovat vaikuttaneet liikunnanopettajien työhyvinvointiin ja viihtymiseen työuran aikana. Teemahaastatteluina kerätty aineisto analysoitiin sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tutkitut liikunnanopettajat olivat innostuneita työstään, mikä voimaannutti heitä. Liikunnanopettajat kaipasivat itsenäiseen työhönsä kuitenkin esimiehen tukea ja kannustusta. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että oikeudenmukainen ja osallistuva …

Enabling leadership promotes a positive working climate

2013

This study looks for current information about factors related to educational leadership that help to promote a positive working climate and which may ultimately influence the employees' overall well-being at work. The study focuses on finding out what is the role of open interaction for the development of a positive working climate. Crucial information about well-being promoting leadership practices is needed in the Finnish context. Previous research shows that employees' experiences of well-being at work in educational organizations vary. Promoting employee well-being has become a crucial leadership issue in the Finnish society. Leadership training has been found to have a key position in…

Visibilities and invisibilities in academic work and career building

2021

In the current turbulent higher education environment, academic work and career building are in a state of flux. The implementation of the principles of New Public Management have intensified managerial control over academic work. Growing dependence on external funding and metrics-based performance assessments have made career building increasingly competitive, selective, and risky. Disciplinary and organisational boundaries have been dissolving as interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral ways of collaboration have become policy priorities. These trends have challenged visible boundaries between disciplines, organisations, sectors, work tasks and academic roles. However, at the same time, new v…

Arvoa luova työympäristö : miten työympäristö voi luoda arvoa muuttuvassa työelämässä?

2017

Suomalainen yhteiskunta ja työelämä ovat valtavassa murroksessa, ehkä historiansa suurimmassa. Hyvinvointiyhteiskuntamme rakenteet ja poliittinen kulttuuri ovat muuttuneet. Suuri muutos liittyy Suomen väestörakenteeseen. Vanhan maailman keinot asettuvat kyseenalaisiksi, kun työnteon tavat muuttuvat ja uudet sukupolvet tulevat työmarkkinoille. Isoja muutostekijöitä ovat myös digitalisaatio ja globalisaatio, joiden vaikutukset liittyvät työelämän murrokseen, ammattien katoamiseen, osaamisen syvään muuttumiseen ja erikoistu-miseen ja uudenlaisiin liiketoimintamalleihin. Organisaatioiden on kyettävä uudistumaan toimintaympäristön muuttuessa. Työn murroksessa tarvitaan yhä laajempi käsitys työst…

Hybrid Work: Gen Z Expectations and Internal Employer Branding Implications

2022

Gen Z – also known as ‘Generation Z’ or ‘iGeneration’ born between 1997 and 2009 – has been hit the hardest by the pandemic and remote work. Whilst the global workforce will include nearly 27% of Gen Z by 2025, it appears essential to address their needs and preferences. This chapter provides new Gen Z white-collar workers’ insights hitherto scarce in research – comparably to those of Gen Z students – to help understand how to motivate, engage, and develop them. In particular, Gen Z's values and expectations for hybrid work emerge from 15 qualitative online interviews leveraged to advance recommendations to enhance internal employer branding – that is branding intended for the organisation’…
