2021

Suomalaista varhaiskasvatusta ovat viime vuosina muokanneet monet yhteiskunnalliset ja rakenteelliset muutokset. Hallinonalan muutos opetus- ja kulttuuriministeriöön, uusi varhaiskasvatuslaki (540/2018) sekä uudet velvoittavat ohjausasiakirjat ovat määritelleet varhaiskasvatuksen vahvasti osaksi kasvatuksen ja opetuksen toimialaa aiemman päivähoidon sosiaalipalvelupainotuksen sijaan. Samaan aikaan organisaatiorakenteet ovat olleet muutosprosessissa. Kuntien taloudelliset haasteet ovat laajentaneet päiväkodin johtajien vastuualueita, ja uudenlaisista jaetun johtajuuden rakenteista on tullut kehittämisen kohteita.

Athlete leadership behavior : how it relates to perceived team cohesion and players' satisfaction in elite sport teams

Additionally, the concept of motivational leadership was recently introduced and claimed to be one of the most important functions leaders may overtake. Thus, this study aimed to confirm former findings and extent the knowledge by taking a new behavior pattern of mot…

Leaders’ intensified job demands : Their multi-level associations with leader-follower relationships and follower well-being

2022

To study the ever-increasing pace of work practices, we investigated leader experiences of intensified job demands (IJDs) and their effects on followers. Based on the challenge-hindrance approach, different kinds of job demands may produce either negative or positive work-related outcomes. Using this perspective, we investigated the leaders IJDs against their followers’ satisfaction with them as leaders, follower evaluations of the leader-member exchange (LMX) relationship quality, and their personal well-being (burnout and work engagement). Of the four IJDs, (1) work intensification and (2) career-related planning demands were conceptualised as negative hindrances for leaders, whereas (3) …
