English language teachers' job satisfaction in upper secondary schools in Finland

2009

 Opettajien työtyytyväisyyttä on yleisesti ottaen tutkittu jonkin verran, mutta tiettyjen kouluaineiden opettajien työtyytyväisyyteen ei ole kiinnitetty huomiota juuri lainkaan. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää englannin opettajien työtyytyväisyyden tasoa suomalaisissa lukioissa. Tutkielma perustuu Herzbergin määritelmään työtyytyväisyydestä sekä hänen teoriaansa siitä, mitkä tekijät työssä koetaan tyydyttäviksi ja mitkä epätyydyttäviksi (motivation-hygiene theory). Tutkimus toteutettiin kyselytutkimuksena sähköpostitse, ja siihen osallistui 10 englannin kielen lukio-opettajaa eri puolilta Suomea. Tutkimuskyselykaavake oli kaksiosainen. Ensimmäinen osa sisälsi 10 avokysymystä, …

Immunoaffinity purification and characterization of mitochondrial membrane-bound D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from Jaculus orientalis.

2008

Abstract Background The interconversion of two important energy metabolites, 3-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate (the major ketone bodies), is catalyzed by D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH1: EC 1.1.1.30), a NAD+-dependent enzyme. The eukaryotic enzyme is bound to the mitochondrial inner membrane and harbors a unique lecithin-dependent activity. Here, we report an advanced purification method of the mammalian BDH applied to the liver enzyme from jerboa (Jaculus orientalis), a hibernating rodent adapted to extreme diet and environmental conditions. Results Purifying BDH from jerboa liver overcomes its low specific activity in mitochondria for further biochemical characterization of the e…

A sample of 492 financial service employees is examined. Results reveal that happiness at work positively and directly affects cross-selling performance. The study also shows that service-skill use plays a partial mediating role in the relationship betw…

Predicción del bienestar hedónico y eudaimónico en envejecimiento con éxito

2016

El bienestar psicológico es un constructo de la máxima importancia en psicología, siendo el equivalente a la salud en términos médicos. Es un concepto multifacético. Que ha dado lugar a dos tradiciones, la hedónica y la eudaimónica. Por otro lado, un marco teórico útil en el que enmarcar un envejecimiento óptimo es el paradigma del envejecimiento con éxito. Rowe y Kahn (1998) articularon este paradigma proponiendo un modelo con tres características principales: salud física, función cognitiva y estar activo en términos de actividades productivas y relaciones sociales. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer un modelo predictivo del bienestar, tanto hedónico como eudaimónico, empleando para e…

The Cross-level Relationship Between Organizational Trust in Leadership and Job Satisfaction

2020

Previous research has rarely addressed trust in leadership at the organizational level. This study addresses this research gap by examining the influence of the magnitude of organizational trust in leadership and consensus about this trust on job satisfaction. The magnitude refers to shared trust in leadership among organizational members, whereas consensus captures the variability in perceptions within organizations, even when overall agreement exists. Moreover, the study examines the mediating role of perceived communication quality in the relationship between the magnitude of organizational trust in leadership and job satisfaction.
