Newcomers in the Workplace
2019
When newcomers enter a workplace, the focus is usually only on orientation and onboarding tactics, which aim to socialize newcomers into the workplace. However, it is through workplace relationships that newcomers make sense of their work tasks and create an understanding of “our workplace.” This chapter describes the processes of interpersonal communication in the workplace during a newcomer’s entry phase. Newcomers may face uncertainty regarding professional performance, relationships, job tasks, or membership. This uncertainty is managed by information-seeking strategies. In social interaction with others, newcomers construct their belonging through membership negotiation and identificat…
"I never gave up"
2019
Esports phenomena have grown rapidly in recent years, and so has research on the topic. Some of the research has also addressed esports fandom (see e.g. Taylor 2012). Nevertheless, studies comparing and contrasting how players and fans engage with the game and the esports based on that game are scarce. This study compares and contrasts how players and fans engage with playable game characters and esports players. The paper draws on previous research in fan studies, sports fandom and esports to examine the relationships of players and fans of the videogame Overwatch (Blizzard Entertainment 2016) with the fictional heroes of the game as well as with their favorite professional players in the …

Deciding on the direction of career and life : personal goals, identity development, and well-being during the transition to adulthood
2017
Humans make efforts to manage their lives, and they do this by setting goals and making decisions. When they commit to their decisions, they construct their identity. This research aimed to study young people’s personal goal contents and appraisals, and how these constructs were related to identity and career identity development and subjective well-being. The theoretical basis of this research comprised the life-span model of motivation (Nurmi, 2004; Salmela-Aro, 2009), the conceptualisation of phase- adequate engagement (Dietrich, Parker, & Salmela-Aro, 2012), and the dual-cycle model of identity development (Luyckx, Goossens, Soenens, & Beyers, 2006; Luyckx et al., 2008). The data for th…

Gotowość młodzieży akademickiej do podejmowania zadań ponadosobistych z perspektywy jej doświadczeń rodzinnych
2020
W podjętych badaniach poszukiwałam związku między gotowością do podejmowania zadań ponadosobistych a doświadczeniami rodzinnymi powiązanymi z procesem wychowania, zadając sobie pytanie: jaki jest związek doświadczeń rodzinnych – w kontekście działań wychowawczych – z gotowością młodych osób do podejmowania zadań ponadosobistych? Ponieważ badanie doświadczeń rodzinnych warunkujących gotowość do podejmowania zadań ponadosobistych polegało na przedstawieniu przez respondentów swoistego obrazu rodziców w kontekście ich działań wychowawczych oraz na określeniu rodzaju i częstotliwości stosowanych wobec nich środków dyscyplinujących, postanowiłam sprawdzić, jakie predyktory wynikające z relacji z…
