Zusammenfassung. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Analyse der familiären Krankheitsbewältigung in Familien chronisch erkrankter Jugendlicher.

The COVID-19 pandemic started at the end of 2019 and can be considered one of the most difficult health crises of the past century.

Specifically, we analyzed how tenure,…

Facing the inevitable? : The public telecom monopoly’s way of coping with deregulation

2016

AbstractThe telecommunications industry has gone through a total restructure since the late 1970s, as state-owned national monopolies have given way to listed enterprises and competitive international markets. Scholars have explained wide-ranging privatisation and deregulation at a general level, but what happened to the former state-owned monopolies and how they adapted to the emerging business-oriented environment, has had with less scrutiny. It has been assumed that external factors caused these institutions to adapt a business approach, but did these organisations themselves have any significant power of decision in these processes? This article explains how one of these former state or…

COPING WITH PEACE AFTER A DEBACLE

2008

This article analyzes a situation when the war was actually over and society began to recover. The government faced a severe challenge after the war. These serious problems will be analyzed in the light of the Great Northern War (1700–1721). The plans of the central government to stabilize society will be analyzed, as will the different kinds of planning activities undertaken by the authorities. The critical nature of the situation led the government to concentrate solely on short‐term planning. The government had no proper strategies; there were just a couple of exceptions to this rule. Firstly, the problems in Finland were repeatedly concrete and tangible. This made them both easy to addr…

Coping Styles and Social Support in Emergency Workers: Family as a Resource

2015

The nature of the job of people working in emergency situations is such that they may experience high levels of stress. With the term ‘emergency’, we refer to macroscopic events (floods, earthquakes) but also to micro-emergencies, that are more frequent events like accidents and acts of violence. Therefore, the aim of this approach is to help to prevent, or to overcome, the psychic phenomenon that occurs in the victims after a traumatic event that is unexpected and upsetting. In disaster and emergency scenarios, empirical data shows that an effective intervention is able to activate pro-social behaviours, based on social relations and norms; but for emergency workers there are several dange…

Coping with technostress: when emotional responses fail

2017

In this study, we develop two new perspectives for technostress mitigation from the viewpoint of coping. First, we examine users’ emotional coping responses to stressful IT, focusing specifically on distress venting and distancing from IT. As these mechanisms may not always be effective for individuals’ well-being, we extend our approach to self-regulation in coping, which concerns general stress-resistance. Thus, we specifically study how IT control moderates the effect of emotional coping responses to stressful situations involving IT use. We test the proposed model in a cross-sectional study of IT users from multiple organizations (N=1,091). The study contributes to information systems l…

Coping with the Innovation Paradoxes: The Challenge for a New Game Leadership

2013

Abstract In times of crisis the paradoxes that are inevitably linked to the innovation process become even more pronounced. After explaining some of the key innovation paradoxes we link them to the organization model that was developed by Edith Penrose. We learn that many of the paradoxes can be explained by the difficulty to balance entrepreneurship and management as organizations grow and evolve. Next we analyze why the vitality is gone in so many of our organizations, what should be done in order to restore the vitality and how new game leadership can contribute. Finally we look at how new game leadership has to be integrated in today's business and on the role that strategic leaders can…
