Työn mielekkyyttä ja hallintaa tukevat tekijät Otavan Opistossa
2014
Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, millaiset teknologia-avusteisen työajanseu-rantaan ja -suunnitteluun liittyvät tekijät voivat olla motivoimassa Otavan Opiston työntekijöitä työssään. Työajanseurantaa ja työnsuunnittelua tarkastellaan työtä tukevana palveluna, ei niinkään hallinnollisena pakkona, joksi se on totuttu miel-tämään. Tutkimus lähtee tarkastelemaan yleisiä motivoivan ilmapiirin piirteitä itsemääräytymisteorian kautta. Yleinen motivoiva ilmapiiri nähdään toiminnan perustana, ja sitä voidaan edesauttaa teknologian avulla. Tutkimus perehtyy nykyisen tietotyön luonteeseen ja sen käynnissä olevaan murrokseen, organisaatioiden johtamiseen, avustavaan teknologiaan, tarkastelee miten ih…
Varjosta valokeilaan : kriittisiä diskurssianalyyseja huonosta johtamisesta
2015
The aim of this dissertation is to qualitatively describe and explain bad leader- ship and the role of the bad leader within. The dissertation consists of five orig- inal articles and the introductory section. The study is based on the foundation formed by research on bad leadership and research on discourse analysis. The focus is on the role of language in the construction, reconstruction and mainte- nance of meanings. The first of the articles contains the description of the discursive approach applied in the studies. This approach is implemented in the four remaining arti- cles, with analyzed samples of 430 media texts, a published research report (95 p.) and over 3 hours of transcribed …
Beyond economic and financial analyses : A revelatory study of IT security investment decision-making process
2022
Information Technology (IT) security breaches and the extent of damage they may cause to an organization are inherently uncertain. Therefore, managers’ decisions about whether to make IT security investment (ITSI) and how much, depend upon a subjective assessment of the economic value of the investment and the likelihood of the damage to the organization. When managers delay or fail to decide on whether and how much to invest in IT security, it can make organizations vulnerable to operational and strategic perils. Based upon interviews, document reviews, and observations in three organizations in Finland that made ITSI decisions to acquire a secure email application system, we examined the …
Sosiaalinen asiakassuhdejohtaminen ja big data
2015
Tässä tutkielmassa käsitellään sosiaalista asiakassuhdejohtamista sekä hyötyjä, joita siihen voidaan saada big datan avulla. Sosiaalinen asiakassuhdejohtaminen on terminä uusi ja monille tuntematon. Tutkimusta motivoi aiheen vähäinen tutkimus, suomenkielisen tutkimuksen puuttuminen kokonaan sekä sosiaalisen asiakassuhdejohtamisen mahdollinen olennainen rooli yritysten toiminnassa tulevaisuudessa. Big dataa käsittelevissä tutkimuksissa keskitytään monesti sen tekniseen puoleen, eikä sovellutuksiin tai ideologioihin. Tässä tutkimuksessa pyritään sosiaalisen asiakassuhdejohtamisen selittämisen lisäksi selventämään, mitä käytännön hyötyjä big data tuo sosiaaliseen asiakassuhdejohtamiseen. Tutki…

Retene, pyrene and phenanthrene cause distinct molecular-level changes in the cardiac tissue of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) larvae, part 1 – …
2020
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are contaminants of concern that impact every sphere of the environment. Despite several decades of research, their mechanisms of toxicity are still poorly understood. This study explores the mechanisms of cardiotoxicity of the three widespread model PAHs retene, pyrene and phenanthrene in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) early life stages. Newly hatched larvae were exposed to each individual compound at sublethal doses causing no significant increase in the prevalence of deformities. Changes in the cardiac transcriptome were assessed after 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of exposure using custom Salmo salar microarrays. The highest number of differentiall…
Doping and Moral Disapprovals
2020
This paper explores variance in how people morally disapprove wrongs related to doping. The variance may pertain to what type of moral disapproval a person uses or to what they disapprove of. Our exploration is both conceptual and empirical. Conceptually, we distinguish between four types of moral disapprovals that we call blame, judging blameworthy, condemnation and sadness. We elaborate these four moral phenomena through a conceptual scheme that we call the matrix of moral disapprovals. The matrix is the central conceptual innovation of our paper. It depicts how the four moral disapprovals relate to each other and characterises their typical instances. In the empirical part of the paper, …

The pandemic has had a significant impact on society at many levels, and it also has affected the work and workload of ECE leaders and the realisation of leadership. The aim of this research was to investigate ECE leadersʼ views on pedagogical leadership from the perspective of opportunities and challenges during exceptional times. The research uses the conceptualisation of broad-based pedagogical leadership as an analytical framework. The data consisted of the responses of ECE leaders (n = 492) to an electronic survey conducted in February 2021. There were sever…
