Moral sensitivity in information security dilemmas
2019
Activities that undermine information security such as noncompliance with information security policies raise moral concerns since they can expose valuable information assets. Existing research shows that moral reflection could play an inhibitory role in one’s decision to undermine information security. However, it is not clear whether users interpret such decisions from a moral standpoint to engage in moral reflection in the first place. Users have to be morally sensitive before they engage in moral reflection. Moral sensitivity involves perceiving a situation as morally relevant, identifying the parties involved and perceiving possible courses of action. We examine moral sensitivity in se…

Towards cross-cultural social work: a teaching approach for development of intercultural competences / Hacía un trabajo social intercultural: un mode…
2017
The professional skills demanded of social workers by contemporary society must unavoidably include the capacity to apply knowledge, to know how to act and acquire the appropriate new competences for listening and taking care of people coming from different cultures. With regard to the training of future generations of social workers it must be remembered that they will have to deal with an increasingly globalized society and face the new demands placed upon the profession by the presence of a greater number of people migrating to Italy in increasingly greater numbers. Teaching experimentation carried out as part of the degree course in Social Work at the University of Palermo over the last…
Intellectual property strategies and firm growth : evidence from Finnish small business data
2012
The goal of this study is to shed light on the relationship between intellectual property (IP) strategies and firm growth. In brief, IP strategies are means of capturing returns on innovation investments. Employment effects and sales growth effects of innovations have been studied extensively in both theoretical and empirical economic literature but prior research has seldom included IP strategies into the analysis. There is little knowledge, whether there exists growth rate differences among firms that use different IP strategies and do patenting firms effectively demonstrate stronger growth than their non-patenting counterparts. Present study considers IP strategies as potential firm grow…

Everyday creativity : boosting creative resources with Finnish models of education : teachers' handbook
2019
This Handbook is the result of several conversations and activities that took place during a blended in-service teacher education course “Everyday Creativity – Boosting the internal creative resources of European schools with Finnish models of education for creativity”. This course offered opportunities for teachers from Romania, Hungary, Italy and the Netherlands to map creative practices in their own school communities, come to Finland to reflect on their work in dialogue with Finnish teachers and education experts, and finally implement follow-up projects to further develop their creative pedagogical ideas . Instead of writing textbook-like material, we decided to emphasize teacher parti…
Characteristics of Intrapreneurs in Scale-Intensive Service Firms
2014
This empirical paper explores the work of employees in charge of service innovation when firms develop and launch new scale-intensive services by addressing two research questions: i) How do employees responsible for service innovation work? and ii) what are the related managerial implications when developing and launching new scale-intensive services? To this end, 21 qualitative, in-depth interviews were conducted with employees in five large scale-intensive service firms. The findings suggest that the involvement of internal professionals is an asset when new scale-intensive services are developed, and that internal professionals act as intrapreneurs when they are involved in the developm…
Les formations professionnelles de l'enseignement supérieur en France au prisme de l'insertion et de la mobilité sociale des diplômés
2014
La professionnalisation des formations dans l'enseignement supérieur en France s'est développée ces dernières décennies avec pour objectif d'améliorer l'employabilité des jeunes diplômés dans un contexte de dégradation de leurs conditions d'insertion. À partir des trois dernières enquêtes Génération du Céreq, ce travail questionne la performance de ces filières professionnelles par rapport aux filières plus académiques de l'enseignement supérieur, en période de crise économique. Certaines formations, comme par exemple les licences professionnelles, garantissent toujours de bonnes conditions d'insertion, pour autant les effets concernant la mobilité sociale en début de carrière, sont plus nu…
Les moins de 30 ans en Gironde, regards croisés entre insertion et RSA
2018
Entre études supérieures, exclusion, intérim, chômage et réorientation, l’insertion professionnelle des jeunes est un processus de moins en moins linéaire et prévisible. Les récents débats autour de la « désincitation au travail » ont entraîné la refonte d’une partie du système de protection sociale en conditionnant l’aide publique à l’emploi, et ce de manière encore plus stricte lorsqu’il s’agit de l’octroyer à un(e) jeune de moins de 30 ans. Cette mutation de l’État social s’appuie sur une nouvelle perception de la solidarité dite « active », dont un des dispositifs les plus symboliques est le Revenu de solidarité active (RSA). En s’intéressant à la fois aux jeunes non-insérés et à ceux a…
