Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how physical spaces intersect with innovation and innovativeness, and what the most relevant attributes of physical space are for innovation. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reflects the changing nature of innovation, from technological advancements to services and meaning changes, and argues that the development of innovative spaces similarly embodies a diverse set of values such as collaboration, openness, and sustainability. Using a literature review, interviews, and benchmarking data, the paper examines the relationship between physical environment and innovation. Findings – The findings from both the literature review and t…
Why Do Teachers Use Game-Based Learning Technologies? The Role of Individual and Institutional ICT Readiness
2015
This paper investigates how different individual and institutional factors pertaining to ICT readiness influence teachers’ adoption of game-based learning technologies. The data were gathered from Finnish primary, lower secondary and upper secondary school teachers (N=1668) with an online survey. The results indicate that openness towards ICT, ICT attitude and the ICT compatibility with teaching positively influence the perceived value whereas openness towards ICT, supportive organizational ICT culture, ICT selfefficacy and ICT compatibility with teaching positively influenced the actual use of game-based learning technologies. However, the structural model could explain only little of the …
Online content consumption experiences as drivers of engagement behaviors and recommendation intention
2017
Internet ja sosiaalinen media ovat luoneet uusia tapoja yrityksille olla vuorovaikutuksessa nykyisten ja potentiaalisten asiakkaiden kanssa. Yritysten päättäjät ovat tietoisia sitoutuneiden asiakkaiden tuomista positiivisista vaikutuksista yritykselle. Sitoutuneet asiakkaat ovat usein tyytyväisiä, uskollisia ja osapuolten välillä vallitsee luottamus. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää joitakin asiakassitoutumiseen johtavia tekijöitä sekä sitä seuraavia asioita. Asiakkaiden itse kokemia ja raportoimia aikomuksia voidaan käyttää ennustamaan esimerkiksi tulevaa myyntiä. Sisältömarkkinoinnin rooli on kasvanut viime aikoina ja mielenkiintoisten sisältöjen tuotannon tarkoituksena on hou…
Inner Areas between theories and practices. An ongoing laboratory
2022
The contribution proposes a reflection on the laboratories that are being formed in inner areas, and in which universities and researchers play a central role both from a technical point of view and in the advancement of theoretical reflection. The article is structured in four parts: it starts with a framework on inner areas as a place of fragility and opportunity, it moves on to the laboratory dimension that is triggered in the relationship with institutions, such as the university. It concludes with a reflection on the rooting dimension that the laboratory engenders in a territory.
Geneses of Labour Market Turnover: Job Search and Entrepreneurial Aspirations On-the-job
2005
In this paper we study the labour market behavior of employed individuals that have entrepreneurial aspirations in addition to aspirations to switch job. We analyze empirically these two “search processes” side-by-side and report three main findings: First, neither entrepreneurial aspirations nor aspirations to switch job are uncommon, but only few are engaged in both search processes. Second, the two processes are not alike: It is more difficult to empirically explain entrepreneurial aspirations than aspirations to switch job. Only few observable characteristics of the employed are related to both processes. Varied experience and job dissatisfaction are directly related to the probability …
Personality and Labour Market Income: Evidence from Longitudinal Data
2010
This study contributes to the literature on how personality is rewarded in the labour market by examining the relationship between personality and labour market income. Our results suggest that adulthood extraversion is positively associated with income when education, work experience, and unemployment history, measured prospectively from longitudinal data, are controlled for. In addition, childhood constructiveness indicating active and well-controlled behaviour has a positive association with income in adulthood.
The Relationship Between Overeducation and Job Satisfaction Among Young Spanish Workers: The Role of Salary, Contract of Employment, and Work Experie…
2010
The increase of education in younger generations and the relative scarcity of qualified jobs available for them makes overeducation of young employees a social issue. We explored the relationships between overeducation and job satisfaction (extrinsic, intrinsic, social facet), as well as the direct and moderating role of salary, contract of employment, and work experience in these relationships using hierarchical regression analyses. Data were collected from a sample of 643 young Spanish employees. As expected, there were negative relationships between overeducation and all 3 satisfaction facets. Moreover, high work experience emerged as a moderating factor that buffered the negative effect…
A glimpse into the socialization of bilingual youngsters as interpreters: the case of Latino bilinguals brokering communication for their families an…
2010
Work on bilinguals who act as family interpreters, while not focused particularly on the development of translation and interpreting abilities, contributes to our understanding of life experiences of the individuals who begin to interpret early in their lives (Valdés and Angelelli 2003). With some exceptions (Harris 1977, 1978, 1980, 1992; Toury 1984, 1995) very little has been written about the lived experiences of young interpreters and/or about their socialization as family interpreters. Since most of the community interpreters of today were interpreters in their late childhood and adolescence, getting a glimpse into their lives and experiences may help researchers (and teachers of inter…
Diritto e storia: intervista a Raimondo Santoro
2022
Further to being interviewed by Mario Varvaro, Raimondo Santoro introduces his ideas regarding the methodology of scientific research in the field of Roman law. This methodology takes into account a detailed investigation of sources and its close relationship with other historical disciplines, in which the technical nature of the legal point of view cannot be neglected. Santoro identifies the concept of law from the viewpoint of ‘legal experience’, which results from the ‘action’ and consists of development from the past to the present towards the future. He underlines the importance of historiography and the historical relativity of numerous dogmatic approaches. The interview concludes wit…
WRITTEN REFLECTION AS A “MOVEMENT” IN A QUALITY SERVICE-LEARNING PROCESS
2023
Nowadays, Service Learning (SL) is considered as a form of experiential education. This perspective is based on the recognition and enhancement of experience as an ordering criterion of teaching and learning methods. In these terms, learning offers students the opportunity to experience a deeper understanding of personal competences. Thus, the central element of the SL is the link between personal and interpersonal development with cognitive development and the curricular path. Investing in authentic conditions of subjectivity and consequently promoting the production of significant knowledge towards research parameters encompass the possibility of collaborating and interacting with a plura…
