Profiles of work intensification among Finnish managers: relationships with well-being and turnover intentions
2020
Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, millaisia työn intensifikaation eli työn kiihtymisen profiileja voidaan tunnistaa johtajilla ja miten eri profiilien johtajat eroavat toisistaan työhyvinvoinnin ja työnkuvan vaihtoajatusten suhteen. Kyselytutkimuksen otos poimittiin Professoriliiton, Tieteentekijöiden liiton, Suomen Ekonomien ja Tekniikan Akateemisten jäsenrekistereistä. Tutkituista johtajista (N=705) yli puolet (56 %) oli miehiä. Löysimme K-keskiarvojen klusterianalyysin avulla viisi profiilia: 1) Riskiprofiili (voimakas työn intensifikaatio, 31 %), 2) suotuisa profiili (työn- ja urasuunnittelun vaatimukset lisääntyneet kohtuullisesti, 19 %), 3) haitta- ja haastestressoriprofiili (työtahti ja ti…

Sustainability is changing the competitive landscape and reshaping the opportunities and threats that companies face.

EVALUATING A CUSTOMER-CENTRIC APPROACH
2007
Customer focus is, at best, only one element of the relationship between a company and its customers. At worst it is a board-room buzzworld, witch makes every board member feel a little more secure.

Koulun johtamisella on keskeinen rooli ikääntyneiden opettajien työhyvinvointiin ja jaksamiseen. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin yli 30 vuoden työuran tehneitä liikunnanopettajia ja kahta liikunnanopettajataustaista rehtoria. Tavoitteena oli saada tietoa siitä, mitkä asiat koulun johtamisessa ovat vaikuttaneet liikunnanopettajien työhyvinvointiin ja viihtymiseen työuran aikana. Teemahaastatteluina kerätty aineisto analysoitiin sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tutkitut liikunnanopettajat olivat innostuneita työstään, mikä voimaannutti heitä. Liikunnanopettajat kaipasivat itsenäiseen työhönsä kuitenkin esimiehen tukea ja kannustusta. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että oikeudenmukainen ja osallistuva …
