Longino’s Theory of Objectivity and Commercialized Research

2015

In this paper, I shall examine Helen Longino’s view on the objectivity of science and study how it can be applied to the evaluation of current scientific practices. By discussing two prominent cases in biomedical research, I articulate some epistemically alarming features of commercialized research and highlight the importance of paying attention to the context of scientific inquiry. In addition, I claim that the examined cases can help uncover philosophically interesting empirical work on extra-scientific mechanisms influencing research practices.

Honouring the opening: Unfolding the rich ground between the philosophical thinking of Martin Heidegger and practice-based empirical work

2021

The aim of this article is to bring philosophical thinking closer to practice-based empirical work. Using Martin Heidegger’s philosophy, it offers a bridge between these two worlds, attempting to provide philosophical depth to the findings of a hermeneutic phenomenological study. This process unfolded through the appearance of three intertwined, potential, meaningful modes of being in the lifeworld: space as a condition for being and being for worlding the world; temporal and spatial self-being, the existence of multiple selves in time and space; and suffering and thriving as modes of being. The article extends the dialogue and concludes with key reflections and insight for research practic…

Why do Third Sector Employees Intend to Remain or Leave their Workplace?

2016

Third sector employees have claimed to enjoy high job satisfaction and low turnover intentions because their work is considered intrinsically rewarding. Employees have strong motivation for public service and they consider the organization’s goals as their own. This makes work meaningful and thus reduces turnover intentions. Changes in the third sector institutional environment, however, have intensified the working environment. This probably undermines job quality and thus increases turnover intentions. The analysis conducted among Finnish third sector employees showed that third sector employees report more turnover intentions than their counterparts in the public or private sector. This …

A cumulative process o f agglomeration is observed. Therefore, …

Why do Young People Give up Their Job Search?

2018

The decision to search or not to search for work is usually considered a purely individual choice. However, this is a simplistic view, which ignores important structural and situational aspects of job search behaviour. This article discusses the reasons why long-term unemployed youth in Finland give up their search for work or a student place. The data comprise 28 life course interviews that were analysed by means of content analysis. The data show that young people’s job seeking behaviour is greatly influenced by how they view their labour market position and prospects. Job search abandonment is often temporary and young people soon resume their search because of the expectations of the so…

The inuence of the Workplace Empowerment on Work Engagement: An examination of the mediator role of psychological empowerment in the relationship bet…

Purpose: Structural empowerment focuses on a set of organizational policies and practices initiated by management with the purpose of addressing conditions that produce powerlessness situations and cascading decision-making down the organization hierarchy (Eylon, & Bamberger, 2000). Our aim is to analyze the influence of structural empowerment on both psychological empowerment and work engagement (as defined by Schaufeli, Salanova, González-Román, & Bakker, 2002), and to test the mediator role of psychological empowerment in the relationship between structural empowerment and engagement. Design/Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was used, collecting the data among 155 wo…

Participer pour rendre le travail possible. Les staffs en unités de soins palliatifs

2018

Répondant à un mandat médical particulier — soigner sans guérir —, les professionnels de soins palliatifs font d’une partie du « sale boulot » hospitalier leur cœur de métier. Dans l’incapacité d’y faire face seuls mais aussi pour lutter contre la souffrance au travail, les médecins attendent des personnels paramédicaux qu’ils participent à l’élaboration du soin à travers des réunions pluridisciplinaires nommées « staff ». Cette participation modifie la division du travail habituellement en vigueur à l’hôpital, et entraîne des « charges de la participation » supplémentaires pour les paramédicaux. Mais dans le même temps, les staffs permettent aux paramédicaux de s’approprier les cadres cult…

BIM and Low-Cost Survey Techniques for Building Heritage Conservation

2017

The aim of this contribution is to illustrate a methodology for the protection and management of the building heritage, adding to the historical documentary investigations, a careful phase of survey and a conscious geometric and informational modelling of the pre-existence. The focus of this work was the Tower of Vietri sul Mare: a significant example of the architectural defense strategies adopted in Salerno in the 16th century. In fact, through the creation of digital models, it would be facilitated the management of the volumetric evolution that this tower has undergone over time, ensuring a greater accessibility and an easier understanding of the transformations it has suffered.
