Liikkeenjohdon konsultointi - nuori ja kasvava toimiala
1999
Liikkeenjohdon konsultoinnin professionaalistumista on Suomessa tutkittu vuosikymmenen puolivälissä. Tutkimuksen mukaan ala on nuori ja vain osittain järjestäytynyt. Konsulttien koulutustaso on kirjava, vaihtuvuus on suuri eikä alalle ole muodostunut markkinasuojaa. Monet ulkoiset muutostekijät luovat kuitenkin tarvetta professionaalistumisprosessin etenemiselle. Professio kuvaa joukkoa ihmisiä, joilla on samanlainen koulutuksellinen tausta, siihen liittyvä tiedeperusta ja näihin liittyvä yhteiskunnan hyväksyntä ammatillisine ja eettisine normistoineen. Artikkelissa käsitellään profession muodostumista liikkeenjohdon konsultoinnissa. Kirjoittaja näkee toimialan arvoketjuna. Sen muodostavat …
Resisting Market Disorder and Ensuring Public Trust: Reimagining National Registers for Legal Interpreters in the United States and the European Union
2015
This article aims to describe the current state of affairs as regards national registers of legal interpreters and translators (LITs) in the United States and the European Union. After a brief overview of what translation and interpreting studies researchers and EU project participants recommend about their construction and utilization, a case will be made for the use of national registers as essential tools in two important struggles: professionalizing legal translation and interpreting and building public trust. Based on current models and recommendations by researchers, a proposal will be put forth for minimum characteristics of a national register of LITs. Rather than an afterthought, t…
Racial Stratification of Traditional Medicine’s Consumption in South Africa
2018
Introduction: Post-apartheid South Africa remains highly stratified on variable grounds including race. The 8.9 percent (whites) of the total population has an average income per capita that is five times higher than that of 79.2 percent (blacks). Socio-economic inequalities are embedded in a ‘culture of consumption’ which includes the availability of goods for sale and the marketization of basic human life experiences including health. Study Objective: The objective of this review was to ascertain the racial status quo in traditional medicines consumption. Results: Literature shows that the consumption of traditional medicines is saturated within the Black population at 72 percent whilst d…
Development of the private university in angola and professionalization of lecturers
2021
Our research comes within the scope of Social Sciences, and more particularly within Management Sciences, since our central question concerns the professionalization of lecturers, their career path, their training practices, and their skills.Two surveys carried out among a sample of lecturers from private universities in Angola, as well as analyses of responses to closed and open questionnaires, show that human resources management concerns both lecturers and the future managers trained by them.
Pressures, rewards and teacher retention: a comparative study of primary teaching in England and Finland
2004
The article presents some findings from the York‐Jyvaskyla Teacher Professionalism project. The project was a follow‐up study to earlier case‐study research in six schools in Finland and six schools in England on the impact of educational reforms on teachers' work. Data were collected by re‐interviewing a sample of teachers from the original schools six years later. The views of English and Finnish teachers concerning the ways in which changes in practice, pay and working conditions affected their perception of teaching as a profession are contrasted. The crucial factors discouraging teachers from remaining in teaching were work intensification, low pay, deteriorating pupil behaviour and a …
Haluttu, menestyvä ja laadukas seura : tapaustutkimus Jyväskylän Naisvoimistelijoiden seuratoiminnan muutoksesta
2017
Suomalainen liikunta- ja urheiluseuratoiminta on pitkälti perustunut vapaaehtoisuuteen. Yhteiskunnan muutokset, valtiovallan odotukset ja seuran jäsenten määrän kasvaminen ovat johtaneet tilanteeseen, jossa ammattilaisen palkkaaminen on tullut monelle seuralle tarpeelliseksi. Ihmiset haluavat rahoilleen vastineeksi laatua ja erilaisia palveluita. Tämä muutos on mahdollistanut urheilutoiminnan tuotteistamisen ja näkyy seurojen toimintakulttuurin muutoksena. Liikunta- ja urheiluseuroja kohtaan on syntynyt paineita ammattimaistaa toimintaa laatuvaatimusten ja kuluttamiseen liittyvien muutosten seurauksena. Tässä tutkimuksessa lähdin selvittämään millaisia muutoksia ammattimaistuminen on tuonut…
Evolution and future of health psychology
2014
This paper addresses the development of new plans of integration, with the aim of undertaking a critical review of the present status of health psychology. We emphasize that health psychology has overcome its growing stage when the risk of stagnation and a consequent loss of relevance and social projection existed. During its period of professionalization there was a spreading and proliferation of approaches due more to external reasons than to reflection within the field. Today the central issue, in many countries relates to the integration of health policies through collective and global actions. Health psychology professionals should move away from the traditional academic and scientific…

Load Monitoring Practice in Elite Women Association Football
2021
The description of current load monitoring practices may serve to highlight developmental needs for both the training ground, academia and related industries. While previous studies described these practices in elite men's football, no study has provided an overview of load monitoring practices in elite women's football. Given the clear organizational differences (i.e., professionalization and infrastructure) between men's and women's clubs, making inferences based on men's data is not appropriate. Therefore, this study aims to provide a first overview of the current load monitoring practices in elite women's football. Twenty-two elite European women's football clubs participated in a close…
Volunteer satisfaction in sports clubs: A multilevel analysis in 10 European countries
2020
Regular voluntary engagement is a basic resource for sports clubs that may also promote social cohesion and active citizenship. The satisfaction of volunteers is an imperative factor in this engagement, and the purpose of this article is to explore individual and organizational determinants of volunteer satisfaction in sports clubs. Theoretically, our study builds on the actor-theory concepts where volunteer satisfaction depends on subjective evaluations of expectations and experiences in a sports club (‘logic of situation’), so that positive evaluations lead to higher satisfaction and, hopefully, retention of volunteers. This research uses a sample of 8131 volunteers from 642 sports clubs…
