Personality, occupational sorting and routine work
2020
Purpose – A prominent labour market feature in recent decades has been the increase in abstract and service jobs, while the demand for routine work has declined. This article examines whether the components of Type A behaviour predict workers’ selection into nonroutine abstract, non-routine service and routine jobs. Design/methodology/approach – Building on the work by Barrick et al. (2013), this article first presents how the theory of purposeful work behaviour can be used to explain how individuals with different levels of Type A components sort into abstract, service and routine jobs. Then, using longitudinal data, it examines whether the components of Type A behaviour predict occupation…
Suomen kielen oppimisen mahdollisuudet ja työyhteisön tuki puhdistuspalvelualalla: afrikkalaisten maahanmuuttajien käsityksiä ja kokemuksia
2013
This article presents a triple case study of African immigrants’ beliefs about Finnish language learning and support of the work community in the cleaning industry. Cleaning does not require a high language proficiency and it is therefore a typical first job for immigrants, a so-called entrance job. The theoretical framework of the study combines dialogical and sociocultural perspectives on language learning. Learners’ beliefs about work-related affordances and scaffolding are analysed using a dialogical analysis of beliefs. The interviewees’ shared belief is that in spite of their simple duties, cleaning work does provide affordances for learning, e.g. in the form of work-related announcem…

Reminders of responsibility : Journalism ethics codes in Western Europe
2022
Journalistic codes of ethics articulate conventions of professionalism as it is understood in Western democracies. Codes of ethics combine theoretical and applied ethics, defining the duties (e.g., service of the public, respect for human dignity, etc.) and offering practical instructions for information gathering, processing, and publishing. Codes of ethics do not solve ethical dilemmas but oblige journalists toward moral reasoning and give advice for making the right decisions. The codes of ethics created for traditional media have become insufficient in the current digital media era. The internet is global, as is the public, and increasingly, also the practice of journalism. The global i…
Growing up morally: An experiential classroom unit on moral development
2015
One reason why many of today’s business leaders are frequently viewed as unethical, corrupt, and corruptible is that values transmitted (implicitly) by university business education courses influence students to ignore ethics. This paper argues that to help future business leaders become more ethical, business school implicit values should reflect a more ethical direction. The present paper describes an experiential pedagogy designed to help students develop morally. It does so by asking students to: 1) participate in exercises sensitizing them to ethical issues, 2) reflect on their own ethical values and decisions they’ve made in the past that either mirror or contradict those values, 3) r…

Purpose: This study sought to examine how engineering students experience studying entrepreneurship in a course that is based on a socio-constructivist v…
Constraint qualifications and Lagrange multipliers in nondifferentiable programming problems

Organizational Learning Capability and Job Satisfaction: an Empirical Assessment in the Ceramic Tile Industry
2009
Organizational learning capability has been considered an essential issue of an organization's effectiveness and potential to innovate and grow. Although its positive effects on organizations and employees are generally assumed, there is no empirical evidence of its positive association with employee attitudes such as job satisfaction. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between organizational learning capability and job satisfaction through the questionnaire responses of 157 employees from eight companies in the Spanish ceramic tile industry. Results suggest that organizational learning capability and job satisfaction are strongly linked.
