Social Media Monitoring in the industrial Business to Business Sector

2012

The objective of this paper is to provide new knowledge of social media monitoring (SMM) in the B2B sector. Specifically, we study the quantity of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) found on social media sites concerning B2B companies, as well how B2B companies view the nature and importance of eWOM. This case study research combines eight qualitative theme interviews executed in the autumn 2011 with a quantitative web data based on 3849 social media mentions collected with a social media monitoring (SMM) software rom the 25 August till 25 October 2011. Thus, the research contributes to marketing research both methodologically and theoretically. The results of this paper suggest that B2B compa…

Reciprocal associations among teacher-child interactions, teachers' work engagement, and children's social competence

2023

This study aimed at examining reciprocal associations among teacher–child interactions, teachers' work engagement, and children's social competence across grade 1.

The results of the multilevel modeling indicated that high-quality instructional support was associated with more prosocial and less antisocial behavior. Prosocial behavior …

Teachers’ professional agency in a centralisation-decentralisation system and a hierarchical cultural context : the case of Hong Kong

2022

Teachers are frontline actors in actualising educational innovations. In some contexts, teachers’ professional agency is undervalued. This study investigated teachers’ agency and its related workplace affordances in Hong Kong, which features a centralised-decentralisation education governance system, and a hierarchical work culture. The study was based on 21 semi-structured interviews with teachers, and employed a deductive thematic analysis. Agency enactment was categorised into 1) pedagogical agency within classrooms, and 2) relational agency in the professional community. The factors contributing to workplace affordances were grouped as pertaining to 1) the collegial community, 2) school…

Constructing responsibility in social interaction: an analysis of responsibility talk in hospital administrative groups

2018

The role of responsibility in hospitals is undeniable. Although administrative groups are essential to organizational performance, previous group and team studies of responsibility in hospital organizations have concentrated mainly on healthcare teams. This study aims to describe and understand responsibility construction in the social interaction in hospital administrative group meetings, based on observation and analysis of seven administrative group meetings in a Finnish hospital. Categories generated by thematic content analysis were compared with responsibility types. The findings show that responsibility is constructed by creating co-responsibility, taking individual responsibility, a…

Socio-technical risk governance through dyadic risk dialogue : copper corrosion as a safety challenge in the geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel

2014

The risk of corrosion in oxygen-free water has become an issue of scientific controversy possibly even threatening the realisation of the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Finland and Sweden. In Sweden there has been extensive discussion about the issue since 2007, but only recently has this debate increased in Finland although the similar disposal concept (KBS-3) is applied in both countries. In this report, we analyse how the implementer, Posiva (a Finnish nuclear waste company), and the regulator, STUK (the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority), have been engaged in a dialogue on the risk of copper corrosion. For over thirty years the implementer and regulator have been e…

Alueellinen yhdenvertaisuus maakunnallistuvissa sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon rakenteissa

2021

Yhdenvertaisuus on keskeinen sosiaali- ja terveyspalvelujen uudistusta ohjaava tavoite, mutta ilmiön alueellinen ulottuvuus on jäänyt usein katveeseen. Artikkelissa haastatellaan kahdessa maakunnallisessa sote-organisaatiossa ja eri palvelualueilla johtotehtävissä olevia viranhaltijoita. Millaisena alueellinen yhdenvertaisuus näyttäytyy uudistuvien sote-rakenteiden toimintaa ohjaavissa periaatteissa, rakenteissa ja toimintakäytännöissä? Entä kuinka se konkretisoituu palvelujen tuottamisessa? The welfare state can be considered one of the most significant equality projects of Finnish society. However, its original aim of ensuring equal and universal access to public welfare services, irrespe…

Sosiaalityön asiantuntijuus vastaanottopalveluissa

2019

Esityksen tavoitteena on luoda kuvaa niistä haasteista, joita suomalainen vastaanottojärjestelmä on kohdannut Eurooppaa kohdanneen niin kutsutun pakolaiskriisin myötä, sekä paikantamaan millaista sosiaalityön asiantuntijuutta se tarvitsee. Esitys perustuu Sosiaalipolitiikan ja sosiaalityön tutkimuksen aikakausilehti Januksessa julkaistuun puheenvuoroon ”Sosiaalityön asiantuntijuus vastaanottopalveluissa”, jonka olen kirjoittanut yhdessä sostt, YTM, Sari Kärkkäisen kanssa. Esityksen lähtökohtana on vastaanottokeskusten arki, jossa työntekijät käyttävät valtaa suhteissa asiakkaisiin. Vastaanottokeskuksissa työntekijällä on valtaa suhteessa asiakkaaseen, esimiehellä työntekijään, johdolla esim…

"Sydämellä me tehdään, vaan ei sydänverellä" : työn imu aatteellisuuden ja ammatillisuuden risteyksessä kolmessa sosiaalialan järjestössä

2017

Tutkimus tarkasteli sosiaalialan järjestöjen työntekijöiden työn imun kokemuksia. Työ voi parhaimmillaan olla niin innostavaa ja inspiroivaa, että se imaisee tekijänsä mennessään. Keskimäärin suomalaiset kokevat tällaista tunnetta viikoittain, ja järjestöissä vielä useammin kuin muissa työpaikoissa. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miksi järjestötyöntekijät kokevat työn imua, miten he kuvaavat työn imun kokemuksia ja miten järjestössä palkkatyössä olevien työn imun kokemuksia voidaan lisätä. Työn tutkimuksen painopiste on viime vuosina siirtynyt epäkohdista työhyvinvoinnin laaja-alaiseen tarkasteluun. Työn imu on käsitteenä tuore, ja sitä on suomalaisella kolmannella sektorilla tutk…
