Negative emotional consequences of labour market activation policies for long-term unemployed young adults in Finland
2021
PurposeThis article deals with the negative emotional consequences of active labour market policies (ALMPs) for long-term unemployed young adults in Finland. Although such policies may have positive effects, an exploration of their negative impacts reveals their problematic side effects. We explore various aspects of ALMP interventions that prevent individuals from gaining such positive outcomes and thus reduce their motivation to invest in the policies.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the affect theory of social exchange, we understand that individuals seek positive rewards from social interactions. Our data is taken from life course interviews with unemployed people aged 20–31 in cen…
The Promise and Deception of Participation in Welfare Services for Unemployed Young People
2018
This study examined the role of welfare services in the participative citizenship of young people under 30 years of age outside the labour market. Thematic content analysis of the government’s white papers regarding participation policies, as well as participatory action research projects in two Finnish towns, were used to identify factors that enable or hinder participation for this group of service users. The paradigm of participation was critically examined with reference to the theoretical framework of Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno’s “dialectic of Enlightenment”, which proposes the parallel existence of the promise and the deception of Enlightenment. The results indicated that user …
Sustainable Working Life in a Swedish Twin Cohort : A Definition Paper with Sample Overview
2021
Background: A unified or consensus definition of “sustainable working life” remains lacking, although studies investigating risk factors for labour market exit are numerous. In this study, we aimed (1) to update the information and to explore a definition of “sustainable working life” via a systematic literature review and (2) to describe the working life trajectories via the prevalence of sickness absence (SA), disability pension (DP), and unemployment in a Swedish twin cohort to provide a sample overview in our Sustainable Working Life-project. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to explore the studies with the search phrase “sustainable working life” in PubMed, PsycInfo…
Exploring dark creativity: the role of power in an unethical marketing task
2020
Creativity is seen as a significant driver for successful marketing activities. However, little attention is paid to its shady side and little research on the prerequisites for unethical behaviour of marketing experts and executives is on hand. In our experimental study, we examine the mutual influence of power, honesty-humility, and benevolent creativity as predictors for ‘dark creativity’ (the use of creative ideas for malevolent actions). Participants (N = 387) were randomly assigned to a high vs. low power condition (role of marketing director vs. marketing intern). Dark creativity was correlated to benevolent creativity, power motive, and honesty-humility, but did not depend on the pow…

Projekt postmarksistowski: od śmierci uniwersalizmu do agonistycznej demokracji
2014
As a consequence of dynamic changes of socio-political space, the need for revision was born - and not only revision in the area of polotical practices, but also theoretical ones. Diagnosis of political reality and actuality of particular element of classical, XIXth century marxist thought led to creation of post-marxist perspective, being also at the same time consistent phiosophical set. The fullest interpretation of this direction of studies is made by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe in their "Hegemony and Socialist Strategy. Towards a Radical Democratic Politics", written in 1985 - and this is the reason for which this work will constitute elemenst drawn by authors mentioned before. T…

2015
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan urheilun sponsorointia yritysten näkökulmasta. Tarkoituksena on hahmottaa sponsorointia yritysten markkinointiviestinnän muotona ja toiminnan nykytilaa Suomessa. Tavoitteisiin päästään selvittämällä yritysten sponsoroinnille asetettuja tavoitteita, sponsorointikohteen valintaa sekä sponsoroinnin tulosten ja tehokkuuden mittaamista. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisena tutkimuksena haastattelemalla urheilua sponsoroivia yrityksiä Suomessa. Aineisto analysoitiin teoriaohjaavan sisällönanalyysin periaattein. Sponsorointi nähtiin tukitoimintona yrityksen markkinointiviestinnässä. Yritykset tavoittelivat sponsoroinnilla brändin ja imagon kehittämistä, näkyvyyttä ja myyn…
Liikuntaseurojen lasten ja nuorten liikunnan markkinointi : tutkimus lasten ja nuorten liikunnan tuotantoprosessista, resursseista ja kustannuksista
2006
Recent research indicates an increase in the demand for sport aimed at children and youngsters, but particularly sport clubs have not been able to develop their production of sport activities quickly enough or in an affordable way. To understand and develop equal opportunities and sport club activities for children and youngsters, information on sport production, resources available, costs to be covered and cost development is needed. These issues were explored on the basis of a literature review and by surveying 1,572 households with 6-18 year-old children and youngsters involved in sport activities in sport clubs. The present study has aimed at establishing the prerequisites under which s…
