The person-oriented approach to burnout : A systematic review

2016

The variable-oriented approach has dominated empirical burnout research, but during the last 10 years a person-oriented approach to burnout has also become common. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify, categorize and evaluate the empirical research to date that has adopted a person-oriented approach to burnout. The results of these studies were then compared with those generated by variable-oriented burnout research. An electronic search of seven databases was conducted in spring 2015. Initially 470 publications were identified, 24 of which met the selection criteria. The reviewed articles were categorized into three groups based on their research target(s): (1) intr…

Multiple job holding, societal change, and individual careers: Contributions to the chaos theory of careers

2020

The chaos theory of careers was applied to identify the connections between multiple jobholders’ careers and societal change. Multiple job holding is a form of employment that consists of two or more overlapping jobs. Six interviews with men born in the 1960s in Finnish North Karelia, whose multiple job holding included agricultural and forestry work, were analyzed. Our results showed that multiple job holding career development has societal connections and that the experiences of multiple job holding varied across individuals. Moreover, multiple job holding experiences and further career development endeavors were influenced by whether the multiple job holding career developed in line wit…

Innovations and Growth: Evidence from Finnish SMEs

2019

The purpose of this study is to clarify the factors that affect the ability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create innovations that promote firm growth. Studies regarding the relationship between research intensity and growth have typically produced mixed results, revealing a modest or non-existent influence of innovations on sales growth. These studies have typically used patents as indicators of innovation. We directly asked firms whether their innovations had affected their growth, and we regressed the results over several variables, covering a wide range of dimensions related to (1) personal factors, (2) firm-related factors (including questions that reflect a firm’s in…

Correlation between school dropout and gross domestic product in the emerging countries of Central and Eastern Europe

2020

By school dropout is meant leaving the educational system, regardless of the reached level, before obtaining a qualification or a complete proffesional training or before the end of the study cycle started (Doron & Parot, 2006). Although there are numerous researches on school dropout, we consider that it is necessary to study the relationship it has with the level of development of a country, in order to identify new causes and possible solutions to this phenomenon. In this study we included seven emerging countries of Central and Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary. Thus, we analyzed the correlation between the annual gross domesti…

Monedas sociales y complementarias (MSC)

2016

En las últimas décadas han surgido experiencias de monedas sociales y complementarias (MSC), medios de intercambio distintos del dinero de curso legal, con el fin de impulsar transacciones dentro del mercado. Su uso se justifica desde el punto de vista de la propia definición del dinero como acuerdo o ley dentro de una comunidad. Las MSC se clasifican en seis categorías distintas: las respaldadas con monedas oficiales (que optimizan la circulación de la moneda oficial al retenerla); las respaldadas con otros bienes y/o servicios (que inyectan liquidez en la comunidad); las emitidas por la autoridad pública (que circulan ampliamente por ser válidas en el pago de impuestos); las de confianza …

La revolución de las finanzas éticas y solidarias

2016

La exclusión financiera, a la vez que produce mayor exclusión social y pobreza, está contribuyendo a la aparición de nuevas formas organizativas en finanzas, bancarias y no bancarias, basadas en la ética y la solidaridad, que favorecen la inclusión entre los colectivos más marginados. La banca ética y los bancos de proximidad, entre los que se incluyen las cooperativas de crédito, ofrecen una alternativa a la banca convencional y cada vez tienen mayor acogida. Por otra parte, la propia sociedad civil está liderando un movimiento que ha propuesto nuevas iniciativas de finanzas éticas y solidarias no bancarias, como las cooperativas de servicios financieros, las cooperativas integrales, las f…

Innovation and Knowledge in Academia

2020

It has recently become very popular among academics to study the process of knowledge transfer within their own organization, with the aim of improving their innovation and performance on a general scope. Knowledge can be divided into two main groups: “explicit” and “tacit” knowledge. The main interest lies in tacit knowledge, since it is one that includes the specific “know-how” of an organization. The cooperation between the different units of an organization promotes the transfer of knowledge between the different organizational areas and positions the departments in an ideal situation to promote innovation. To understand the evolution of the scientific production in terms of innovation …
