Political Patronage in a Small Italian Local Government: An Outcome-Based DPM Approach on Fiduciary Practices
Corruption is “the abuse of public office for personal gain” (World Bank, 1997: 8). Although this definition captures a broad notion of corrupt behaviour, many forms of corruption actually occur in small municipalities each reflecting context-specific features and dynamics. Their impacts are rather evident, but their cause-effects relationships are not always clear, so that tangled issues may ineluctably arise without an apparent explanation. As such, a systemic focus is needed in order to gain an insightful understanding of particular configurations of malfeasance at local level in the attempt to hinder them in the future. The aim of this research project is to explore the dynamic relation…

Four well-being-performance patterns: personal and organizational antecedetns and age as moderator
2017
Desde el inicio, el principal objetivo de la psicologia organizacional ha sido la promoción del bienestar y el desempeño, teniendo como principal modelo la tesis del trabajador feliz y productivo. Aunque investigadores han identificado que gente con alto nivel de bienestar tiene systemas inmunitarios más fuertes, son más altruistas, son mejores tomando decisiones, tienen mejores relaciones interpersonales, y tienen menores probabilidades de sufir enfermedades coronarias del corazón, (Boehm, Peterson, Kivimaki, y Kubzansky, 2011; Lyubomirsky, King, y Diener, 2005; Staw y Barsade, 1993),investigadores organizacionales han obtenido más bien resultados poco concluyentes a la hora de estudiar el…
Responsible Human Resource in Practice : Towards a Family-friendly Workplace
2019
The purpose of this case study is twofold. First, a family-friendly development program in a Finnish health care organization is considered a good example of an attempt to develop an advanced workplace regarding work-family integration.

Second, the qualitative data gathered from the case are used to explore employees’ perceptions of family-friendliness, as well as the successes and pitfalls of adopting the development program to enhance work-family integration. The results show that the relationship between employees and their immediate superiors …

Overcoming Barriers to Transnational Organizing Through Identity Work : Finnish-Estonian Trade Union Cooperation
2018
This article analyses a project by Finnish and Estonian unions to adopt ‘organizing model’ strategies through establishing the transnational ‘Baltic Organising Academy’. Initially aimed at Estonian workplaces, successful campaigns inspired Finnish unions to copy the model in Finland. This cooperation was originally motivated by labour market interdependence between the two countries, and the failure of past social-partnership oriented union strategies in Estonia. The willingness of Finnish and Estonian unions to commit resources to transnational cooperation around an ‘organizing model’ marks a dramatic departure from the unions’ previous strategies. This change was accomplished by transnati…
