Vuorovaikutus hallinnollisissa ryhmissä
2020
This article aims to analyze international research on social interaction in administrative groups in the 2000s on the basis of a systematic examination of 62 peer-reviewed empirical research reports. We examined the data through a qualitative content analysis and organized the results into three sections: 1) defining an administrative group, 2) the used research methods and data, and 3) the focus of research. Our results showed that administrative groups were mainly defined on the basis of the employed research approach and data. Group conceptualizations were seldom based on specific theoretical group definitions or approaches. In the context of research methods, there were no specific tre…
Onnistuminen työelämän tiimeissä
2018
In digitalized contemporary working life virtual teams have become increasingly ubiquitous. Teams are seen as platforms for synergy, productiveness, and efficacy. However, manifold organizational environments, technological developments, and extended working possibilities—as well as conceptual, methodological, and theoretical features—make successful teams complex to outline and examine. The focus of this doctoral dissertation is in examining working-life teams’ success in the times of digitalization and communication technology expansion. The study embraces a qualitative and inductive research agenda. This dissertation comprises four articles, including one systematic literature review and…
Vuorovaikutusosaamisen yhteisyys työelämän tiimeissä
2018
Teams are a very common way to organize work within a variety of fields. The role of competent communication in high-quality and successful teamwork is emphasized in both research and in working life discourse. However, research on communication competence in working life teams is scarce. Extant research lies heavily in the study of communication situations in short-term groups. The reality of working life teams differs from such groups. Teams work on varied, overlapping tasks, often over long periods of time. Moreover, extant research primarily has focused on competence as an individual quality. The objective of this study is to describe and understand the sharedness of communication compe…
Identity and Online Groups
2017
Questions related to identity have been central to discussions on online communication since the dawn of the Internet. One of the positions advocated by early Internet pioneers and scholars on computer-mediated communication was that online communication would differ from face-to-face communication in the way traditional markers of identity (such as gender, age, etc.) would be visible for interlocutors. It was theorized that these differences would manifest both as reduced social cues as well as greater control in the way we present ourselves to others. This position was linked to ideas about fluid identities and identity play inherent to post-modern thinking. Lately, the technological and …
Vuorovaikutus sairaalajohtoryhmien kokouksissa
2018
Kokoukset lienevät yleisin työelämän vuorovaikutuskäytänne ja siten organisoinnin keskeinen areena. Kokouksista on kirjoitettu lähinnä opaskirjallisuutta ja kokouksiin keskittyvä tutkimus on lisääntynyt vasta viime vuosina. Kokousteoreettinen jäsennys on kuitenkin edelleen vähäistä. Organisaation konstituointi tapahtuu vuorovaikutusprosesseissa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sairaalajohtoryhmien kokousvuorovaikutusta. Johtoryhmäkokoukset ovat merkittävä osa sairaaloiden tiedonjakamis- ja johtamisjärjestelmiä, mutta sairaalaorganisaatioissa kokouksia on tutkittu vain vähän. Tämän väitöstutkimuksen tavoitteena on kuvata vuorovaikutusta ja jäsentää sen rakenteita sairaalajohtoryhmäkokouksi…
