Coaches’ Perceptions of Athletes’ Psychobiosocial States : The Case of Three Tennis Coach-Athlete Dyads

2018

Considering the limited attention paid to interpersonal aspects of emotions, this study explored coaches’ perceptions of athletes’ performance-related states and how they used this information for its regulation. Using a case study approach, three coach-athlete dyads from competitive tennis took part in one-on-one semi-structured interviews. Individualized profiling of psychobiosocial states was used to assess athletes’ states in most and least successful performances and as a way of data triangulation. Findings indicated that the coaches paid attention to bodily, motor-behavioural, and operational components of a performance state, and used this information to appropriately adapt their res…

Looking for Peace of Mind? Manage your (Technical) Debt : An Exploratory Field Study

2017

Background: In the last two decades Technical Debt (TD) has received a considerable amount of attention from software engineering research and practice. Recently, a small group of studies suggests that, in addition to its technical and economic consequences, TD can affect developers’ psychological states and morale. However, until now there has been a lack of empirical research clarifying such influences. Aims: In this study, we aim at taking the first step in filling this gap by investigating the potential impacts of TD and its management on developers’ morale. Method: Drawing from previous literature on morale, we decided to explore the influence of TD and its management on three dimensio…

It’s Not Only What You Say, But How You Say It : Investigating the Potential of Prosodic Analysis as a Method to Study Teacher’s Talk

2018

In this study, we introduce new insights into prosodic analyses as an emerging method to study what happens in classrooms interactions. We claim that the prosodic aspects (features of speech such as intonation, volume and pace) of talk are important, but under-represented in the learning sciences. These prosodic aspects may be used to complement, intensify or even reverse the linguistic content of speech. Thus far, most research on classrooms has focused on the content (what is said) rather than on understanding the meaning of the prosodic features (how it is said) of talk. In this study, we introduce prosodic analyses as a method to study classroom discussions. Our exploratory experiment f…

Keskustelun, käsitysten ja käytänteiden voima : teknologiavälitteinen vuorovaikutus työyhteisössä

2020

Vuonna 2020 vallitseva pandemiatilanne on siirtänyt asiantuntijaorganisaatiot laajalti etätyöhön. Yhteisten fyysisten työtilojen sijaan tavataan digitaalisissa viestintäympäristöissä ja monenlaiset vuorovaikutusteknologiset alustat ovat tulleet laajalti tutuiksi. Kuluvan vuoden lokakuussa puolustin viestinnän alan väitöskirjaani eittämättä ajankohtaisesta aiheesta, vuorovaikutusteknologiasta työyhteisössä. Tutkimukseni lisää ymmärrystä aiheeseen liitetyistä käsityksistä ja käsitteistöstä sekä teknologiavälitteisen vuorovaikutuksen ilmiöistä erityisesti tiimien ja organisaation viestinnällisillä tasoilla. Vaikka teknologiaan liittyvä keskustelu on kenties kiivaampaa kuin koskaan, korostavat …

Focusing on Workplace Communication

Communication has a constitutive role in the workplace; in workplace communication the organization comes into being. In workplace communication workers create and negotiate meanings and a shared understanding of important work-related issues. Communication is also essential for a functional working environment.

The development of interpersonal communication competence at work

2007

[Introduction] Many researchers emphasise the importance of interpersonal communication competence in learning, in working life, and in society in general (Daly, 1998; Morreale, Osborn and Pearson, 2000). Changes in the working life (e.g., globalisation, the development of information and communication technology, the increase in abstract, conceptual, and knowledge-intensive work, and the increase in collaborative interaction) have established new challenges to interpersonal communication competence and enhanced the essential role of communication and interaction at work (FinnSight 2015 foresight project, 2006; Huotari, Hurme and Valkonen, 2005; Kostiainen, 2003). Several studies have attem…
