Inspiriting Innovation: The Effects of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) on Innovative Behavior as Mediated by Mindfulness and Work Engagement
2021
Continuous innovation has become a key to gaining a sustainable competitive advantage for organizations in the 21st century. By focusing on the underlying mechanisms (i.e., mindfulness and work engagement) by which it works, this study addresses the quality of leader–member relationships and their relevance for innovation in the workplace. Using a sample of 210 employees from 17 Spanish companies, a two-wave longitudinal design evaluated the mediational roles of mindfulness and engagement between leader–member exchange (LMX) quality and innovative work behavior (IWB) in an organizational context. Over the course of a year, two questionnaires were administered to measure LMX quality, mindful…

Professionals (n=32) working in mental health and mental health promotion took part in the survey. The experts were asked their professional views on the needed compet…
Abstrakti, muodollinen ja vanhentunut tasa-arvo? : diskursiivinen tulkinta liikuntajärjestöjen tasa-arvopuheesta
2019
Viimeaikaista liikuntapoliittista ja -tieteellistä keskustelua on käyty siitä, millainen on liikunnan ja urheilun sukupuolten tasa-arvon ja yhdenvertaisuuden tila. Yhtenä sytykkeenä on toiminut vuonna 2015 päivitetty liikuntalaki, jonka kirjauksissa vahvistettiin tasa-arvon ja yhden vertaisuuden edistämisvaatimusta ja jonka myötä myös opetus- ja kulttuuriministeriö alkoi edellyttää järjestöiltä tasa-arvo- ja yhdenvertaisuussuunnitelmia osana valtionapukelpoisuutta. Tämä artikkeli osallistuu keskusteluun keskittämällä katseen liikuntajärjestöjen puheessa rakennettaviin sukupuolten tasa-arvopolitiikan diskursseihin. Tutkimustehtävänä tarkastellaan sitä, millaisia diskursseja liikuntatoimijoid…
Western Australian students' alcohol consumption and expenditure intentions for Schoolies.
2016
In Australia, the immediate post-school period (known as ‘Schoolies’) is associated with heavy drinking and high levels of alcohol-related harm. This study investigated students’ intended alcohol consumption during Schoolies to inform interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm among this group. An online survey was administered to students in their senior year of schooling. Included items related to intended daily alcohol consumption during Schoolies, amount of money intended to be spent on alcohol over the Schoolies period, and past drinking behaviour. On average, participants (n=187) anticipated that they would consume eight standard drinks per day, which is substantially higher than t…
Trapped? Exploring the lives of young women in France and England who are labelled NEET and economically inactive
2021
International audience; Through a comparison of France and the UK, this paper analyses the position of young women who are defined as not in education, employment or training (NEET) and economically inactive (EI). Little is known about the NEET EI group and how this status shapes young people’s lives during school-to-work transition. Consequently, the NEET EI group remains a ‘hidden’ problem in many countries and impacts to a much greater extent on young women, due to their propensity to assume caring responsibilities. Despite France and the UK having very different types of policy intervention and welfare support, there are similarities between them in terms of NEET EI populations and the …
Bezpieczeństwo socjalne jako element polityki społecznej samorządu terytorialnego w Niemczech
2018
Samorząd terytorialny w Niemczech jest jedną z najważniejszych części administracji publicznej w Niemczech, jest praktycznie jego podstawą. Posiada szeroko zakreśloną gwarancję konstytucyjną i równie rozległą autonomię. Prawo do samorządności mają nie tylko gminy, powiaty, związki gmin i okręgi w Bawarii, które posiadają pełną demokratyczną legitymizację opartą na głosowaniu obywateli, ale również i takich podmiotach, które nie mają tego typu demokratycznego umocowania. Do nich zalicza się specjalne formy samorządności terytorialnej - związki komunalne wyższego rzędu. Jednym z zadań realizowanych przez samorząd terytorialny w Niemczech jest polityka społeczna. Władze samorządowe, opierając …
Adaptation of French society to aging : aging today in an Age-Friendly City : integration, discrimination and roles of public policy
2019
This PhD work aims to analyse the way French cities seize and implement the Agefriendly Cities approach on their territories. Thanks to seventy semi-guided interviews, a second data analysis and active observation, we studied how thirteen French cities decided to implement the Age-friendly Cities approach.This work of research revolves around ideas about how to combat ageism, about the importance of consulting the inhabitants and of using a cross-disciplinary way of work. Like that, it aims to analyse how French cities adapted their local public policies in coherence with the frame given by the Age-friendly Cities approach, the national policies and the recommendations of the international …
Fonds structurels, effets de débordement géographique et croissance régionale en Europe.
2008
Les fonds structurels constituent l’un des instruments financiers de la politique regionale europeenne les plus intensement utilises afin de promouvoir la convergence entre les regions des pays membres de l’Union europeenne. Cependant, de nombreuses divergences theoriques et empiriques existent dans la litterature quant a leur capacite a encourager la croissance economique des regions les plus defavorisees. Par consequent, cet article se propose de proceder a des estimations complementaires en integrant des elements nouveaux : tout d’abord, nous adoptons une approche par l’econometrie spatiale afin de prendre en compte de possibles effets de debordement geographique entre regions ; ensuite,…
“I Like to Keep my Archaeology Dead”. Alienation and Othering of the Past as an Ethical Problem
2019
As archaeologists, we have to deal with the dead, and as David Clarke once said, we like to keep our archaeology dead. From an epistemological perspective, alienation from the dead seems almost inevitable; otherwise, we would only project today’s conditions onto the past. Therefore, the past must be, and must remain, a foreign country. These alienating processes have ethical implications, however, especially when it comes to the study of human remains. In this article, we analyze the structures within the scientific discipline of archaeology that normalize practices, such as the labeling of human bone material during excavations and the object-like display of skeletons in museums. We argue …
