Nuorten yhteiskunnallinen osallistaminen kulttuuri- ja vapaa-ajan toiminnan kautta
2020
Nuorten osallistumisen ja osallisuuden lisäämisestä on tullut tärkeä yhteiskunnallinen tavoite, jota yritetään edistää erilaisten ohjelmien ja projektien kautta. Tarkastelemme artikkelissa osallistamista tutkimalla nuorille vuosina 2017–2018 suunnattua kulttuuri- ja vapaa-ajan toimintaa Keski-Suomessa. Tutkimme, miten kulttuuriin liittyvällä toiminnalla pyritään edistämään nuorten laajempaa yhteiskunnallista osallistumista ja osallisuutta. Olemme haastatelleet 15 projekteissa työskentelevää tai vapaaehtoisena toimivaa henkilöä, ja analysoineet aineistoa osallistumisen kulttuurisen, sosiaalisen, taloudellisen ja poliittisen ulottuvuuden kautta. Tulosten mukaan nuorten osallistumista tutkitt…
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 …
Relationships between kinetic constants and the amino acid composition of enzymes from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae glycolysis pathway
2012
The kinetic models of metabolic pathways represent a system of biochemical reactions in terms of metabolic fluxes and enzyme kinetics. Therefore, the apparent differences of metabolic fluxes might reflect distinctive kinetic characteristics, as well as sequence-dependent properties of the employed enzymes. This study aims to examine possible linkages between kinetic constants and the amino acid (AA) composition (AAC) for enzymes from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae glycolytic pathway. The values of Michaelis-Menten constant (K M), turnover number (k cat), and specificity constant (k sp = k cat/K M) were taken from BRENDA (15, 17, and 16 values, respectively) and protein sequences of nine…
On the Mechanism of Xylene Isomerization and its Limitations as Reaction Test for Solid Acid Catalysts
1993
The kinetics of the gas-phase isomerization of m-xylene, over a series of ultraestable Y zeolites, has been studied in a fixed-bed flow reactor under initial conditions. Using deuterated p-xylene as reactant it has been seen that more than 20% of the m- and o-xylene obtained, are formed via a bimolecular mechanism. The relative proportion of uni- to bimolecular mechanism depends on the zeolite composition. The relation between the turnover number, calculated from the kinetic rate constant for the unimolecular mechanism, and the framework Al content of the zeolite, was coincident with the topological zeolite model. Besides, the values of the adsorption constants indicate that dealumination h…
The work-family interface and its correlates : integrating variable and person oriented approaches
2017
The aim of this research was to examine key correlates of the interaction between work and family in one Nordic country, Finland, using a person- oriented and variable-oriented approach. The correlates that were chosen and examined over the course of three studies were job control and work-family boundary management styles, turnover intention, core self-evaluations, and vigor at work. Study I was part of a 2-year longitudinal study which was conducted in two Finnish universities (n = 700); Study II consisted of two samples, one of university employees (University 1, n = 666; University 2, n = 644), and the other of nurses (n = 301) from one healthcare district in Finland; and Study III used…
Eettinen organisaatiokulttuuri : yhteydet työhyvinvointiin ja työpaikan vaihtoihin
2015
The research investigated the associations between ethical organizational cul ture, ethical strain (stress caused by ethical dilemmas) and job turnover. The first study investigated differences in employees’ ethical strain and their evalua tions of the ethical culture of their organizations between a public sector city organization (n = 3,123), an engineering firm (n = 287) and a bank (n = 187). In the second study, the connections between resources and personal authority for ethical actions (one dimension of the ethical culture of an organization) and eth ical strain in social affairs and health services in a public sector city organization were analyzed at the work-unit (n = 142) level as…
The role of ethical organizational culture in preventing sickness absence and turnover in organizations
2016
This research examined the role of ethical organizational culture in preventing sickness absence and turnover in organizations, and also validated the Corporate Ethical Virtues (CEV) model used to study ethical organizational culture. More specifically, the research had four aims: 1) to test the factorial validity and group invariance of the 58-item CEV scale, 2) to examine the associations between ethical organizational culture and sickness absence at the individual and work unit levels, 3) to study the role of ethical organizational culture as an antecedent of managerial turnover, and 4) to examine the reasons managers gave for their turnover, and the associations between ethical culture …

Of Friends and Foes in Organizations: A Theoretical Perspective Upon Performance at Work
2014
Abstract The present paper highlights, from a theoretical perspective, the main challenges which aim work performance, inside meta- analytical research studies in organizations, focusing, especially, on factors and organizational concepts, directly related to performance and their relations within. Results show that, in most cases, human resources oriented management resides in an increase of performance at work. In this manner, team effectiveness, group size and proactive behavior determine and influence the levels of work performance, from a positive perspective, whilst turnover is widely associated with a negative view.
Perceived development opportunities and reward satisfaction as antecedents of nurses’ job withdrawal intentions
2016
Retention of nurses has received considerable attention in recent years due to the ageing population and the shortage of nurses. However, most of the studies have concentrated on either older nurses’ early retirement or younger nurses’ turnover intentions. This study analyses the antecedents of different forms of job withdrawal intentions with special reference to perceived development opportunities and reward satisfaction. A quantitative survey was conducted among nurses in one Finnish University hospital. A total of 510 nurses completed the questionnaire, representing a 54.4% response rate. The results demonstrated that job withdrawal intentions were relatively common and age-dependent am…
