Realizing the Benefits from Enterprise Information Systems: A Sociomaterial Perspective
2013
AbstractDespite the worthwhile studies that have been conducted on the realization of benefits from Enterprise Information Systems (EISs), many organizations are not satisfied with the benefits they have gained. This work draws on the sociomaterial perspective and suggests that benefits can be realized when organizations are able to utilize their capabilities in order to exploit the technological possibilities of the EISs, in addition to their willingness to change their business routines. It suggests focusing on the unintended benefits that can emerge based on the organizational capabilities and the system possibilities. The main contribution from this conceptual work is to provide a discu…
Il riconoscimento reciproco del maschile e del femminile nella prospettiva della pedagogia fondamentale
2017
Il saggio descrive i dati fenomenologici elementari delle identità dei generi, la genitalità anatomica e il gender. Questo secondo reperto si presenta come l’aspetto malleabile della sessualità umana; la variabilità non è però assoluta: il corpo non può essere annullato e con esso le proprietà del corpo femminile e di quello maschile, congegni atti a generare una nuova vita della specie umana. Questi rilievi sono visti nella prospettiva dell’azione educativa, qui intesa come relazionalità riconoscente. Ora, una tale prospettiva consente di definire le identità dei generi come un’esistenziale, intenzionalità situata e desituante legate da un’unità originaria che ha la sua condizione di possi…
“Practicing care in qualitative organizational research: moral responsibility and legitimacy in a study of immigration management”
2021
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the reciprocal relations between the caregiving imparted by immigration centre managers and the role of the researcher in responding to the care that is given by managerial caregivers. To enable this, we draw on a feminist theory of care ethics that considers individuals as relationally interdependent.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis draws on a semi-structured interview study involving 20 Finnish immigration reception centre managers.FindingsInsight is generated by reflecting on moments of care that arise between research participants and the researcher in a study of immigration centre management. We emphasise the importance…
Relational long-term breastfeeding
2021
This article uses a relationality-sensitive perspective to analyse long-term breastfeeding. The data was gathered through open invitations to write, and the article is based on the written reflections of 39 long-term breastfeeding Finnish mothers. In Finland, the breastfeeding of babies is strongly supported, but long-term breastfeeding (over 12 months) is a more conflicted issue, and the cultural norm of one year of breastfeeding is strong. Through qualitative content analysis, the article shows how mothers reflect on long-term breastfeeding’s effects on their relations with their breastfed children, partners (if any), relatives and healthcare professionals. The findings show that long-ter…
A Diffractive Reading
2023
AbstractTowards the end of the editing process, we started to see the book as something more than a collection of chapters around a theme: as an assemblage, which included, of course, the community of authors. When we put out the first call for contributions in May 2018, most authors volunteered a contribution rather quickly, others joined a bit later, and some dropped out for different reasons, underlining the dynamic nature of our assemblage. In pre-pandemic times, we met on and off campus, introduced some of our ideas at conferences, and had a workshop day to brainstorm, plan chapters, and reflect on the process and the purpose of the book. We were connected by common meals, jokes, writi…
Non-abusing mothers’ agency after disclosure of the child’s extra-familial sexual abuse
2020
This qualitative study analysed the agency of eight non-abusing mothers in the Turkish Cypriot Community after disclosure that their child had been sexually abused by someone outside the family. The aim was to discover how, after disclosure, such mothers act to protect their children in the contexts of their family and community. The data were gathered via semi-structured in-depth interviews and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). In the nuclear family context, maternal agency emerged in the form of motherhood skills, including emotionally supporting the abused child, double-checking the child’s safety or limiting the child’s mobility, and controlling the actions…
Małżeńskie communio personarum w perspektywie jedyności i troistości Boga
2016
Centralną prawdą objawienia chrześcijańskiego jest to, że absolutnie pierwsze są Osoby boskie wraz z Ich wzajemnym przylgnięciem oraz łącznością. Ich komunia stanowi istotę, archetyp wszelkich rzeczywistości jest tym, według czego winno być wszystko kształtowane. Trójca Święta i małżeństwo ludzi to dwie rzeczywistości całkowicie różne. Uwzględniając powyższe założenia dotyczące analogii między Trójcą Świętą a małżeństwem, przedstawione zostały wybrane cechy wynikające z jedyności i troistości Boga (relacyjność, jedność, wzajemność, równość, miłość, komunikacja), a następnie przedstawiono wynikające z nich wskazania dla małżeństwa i ich wspólnotowego życia. Powyższe rozważania jasno wskazują…
