Is work intensification bad for employees? A review of outcomes for employees over the last two decades
2022
Work intensification (WI) is a notable job stressor, which has been hypothesised to result in various negative outcomes for employees. However, earlier empirical studies regarding this stressor hypothesis have not yet been reviewed. Our narrative review focused on the outcomes for employees of WI as a perceived job stressor. Our review was based on selected qualitative and quantitative empirical studies (k = 44) published in peer-reviewed journals between the years 2000 and 2020. Altogether, the findings of these studies showed that WI was related to various negative outcomes for employees, such as impaired well-being and motivation, supporting the stressor hypothesis. Stressful WI manifest…
Enabling leadership promotes a positive working climate
2013
This study looks for current information about factors related to educational leadership that help to promote a positive working climate and which may ultimately influence the employees' overall well-being at work. The study focuses on finding out what is the role of open interaction for the development of a positive working climate. Crucial information about well-being promoting leadership practices is needed in the Finnish context. Previous research shows that employees' experiences of well-being at work in educational organizations vary. Promoting employee well-being has become a crucial leadership issue in the Finnish society. Leadership training has been found to have a key position in…
Hybrid Work: Gen Z Expectations and Internal Employer Branding Implications
2022
Gen Z – also known as ‘Generation Z’ or ‘iGeneration’ born between 1997 and 2009 – has been hit the hardest by the pandemic and remote work. Whilst the global workforce will include nearly 27% of Gen Z by 2025, it appears essential to address their needs and preferences. This chapter provides new Gen Z white-collar workers’ insights hitherto scarce in research – comparably to those of Gen Z students – to help understand how to motivate, engage, and develop them. In particular, Gen Z's values and expectations for hybrid work emerge from 15 qualitative online interviews leveraged to advance recommendations to enhance internal employer branding – that is branding intended for the organisation’…
NEURAL CONTROL OF GAIT IN PEOPLE WITH HAEMOPHILIC ARTHROPATHY
2022
La hemofilia es un trastorno hemorrágico causado por una deficiencia de los factores VIII o IX de la coagulación. Las personas con hemofilia grave pueden tener hemorragias espontáneas o hemorragias en respuesta a traumatismos menores; la mayoría de los eventos ocurren en las articulaciones y los músculos. La manifestación clínica más frecuente es la artropatía hemofílica, que resulta del sangrado intraarticular repetitivo y de la membrana sinovial inflamada, lo que puede resultar en dolor crónico y deterioro articular. El objetivo general de mi tesis fue investigar el control neural de la marcha en personas con artropatía hemofílica (PCAH). La hipótesis de mi tesis fue que control neural de…
Building transformative capacity towards active sustainable transport in urban areas – Experiences from local actions in Finland
2022
Recent research has recognised cycling and walking (active transport) as substantial elements contributing to sustainable mobility and public health challenges. There is less knowledge available on the integrated contributions of local-level governance processes and practical implementation of active transport promotion activities. To illustrate comprehensively the contributions of local-level activities, we defined a framework presenting transformative capacity towards active sustainable transport. The framework presents the essential elements and criteria in assessing the level of contributions towards active and sustainable mobility. Previous literature and a case study in six Finnish mu…
Vulnerability of the unbanked : evidence from a developing country
2016
Financial exclusion is an apparent phenomenon globally, the majority of people without bank accounts living in the developing countries. Those who lack access to financial services could experience vulnerability. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to unfold the vulnerability of the low-income unbanked consumers in a Pakistani context. Qualitative data were gathered from low-income unbanked consumers through in-depth interviews. The findings suggest that unbanked consumers are vulnerable in many ways. The participants faced several negative consequences due to their financial exclusion, which resulted into their personal, economic and social detriment. Based on our study findings, we p…

2015
Lenita Lehtonen (2015). Kiitollisuuden harjoittaminen itsehoitomenetelmänä. 28 runoa kiitollisuuden voimasta. Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, terveyskasvatuksen pro gradu -tutkielma, 80 s., 2 liitettä. Kiitollisuusharjoitusten on havaittu useissa kokeellisissa tutkimuksissa vaikuttavan myönteisesti hyvinvointiin. Aihepiirin tutkiminen näyttää keskittyneen psykologian tieteenalalle ja harjoituksia omaehtoisesti tehneitä on tutkittu vähän. Nyt tehdyn tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli kuvata ja ymmärtää kiitollisuutta itsenäisesti harjoittaneiden kokemuksia. Tutkimukseen osallistuneet henkilöt (n=28) kirjoittivat kokemuksistaan. Aineisto kerättiin so-siaalista mediaa hyödyntäen ja analy…
Colorectal cancer incidences in Lynch syndrome: a comparison of results from the prospective lynch syndrome database and the international mismatch r…
2022
Abstract Objective To compare colorectal cancer (CRC) incidences in carriers of pathogenic variants of the MMR genes in the PLSD and IMRC cohorts, of which only the former included mandatory colonoscopy surveillance for all participants. Methods CRC incidences were calculated in an intervention group comprising a cohort of confirmed carriers of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in mismatch repair genes (path_MMR) followed prospectively by the Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database (PLSD). All had colonoscopy surveillance, with polypectomy when polyps were identified. Comparison was made with a retrospective cohort reported by the International Mismatch Repair Consortium (IMRC). This com…

Svešvalodu skolotāju labizjūtas stiprināšana attālināto mācību procesā
2021
Maģistra darba tēma ir “Svešvalodu skolotāju labizjūtas stiprināšana attālināto mācību procesā”, un tā mērķis ir izpētīt svešvalodu skolotāju labizjūtu attālināto mācību procesa laikā un izstrādāt ieteikumus pedagogiem un skolas vadībai skolotāju labizjūtas stiprināšanai. Skolotāja labizjūtai ir liela nozīme: tā ietekmē apmierinātību ar darbu un dzīvi kopumā, attiecības ar skolēniem un kolēģiem, skolēnu emocionālo stāvokli un mācību sasniegumus. Attālinātās mācības tika ieviestas izglītības sistēmā strauji kā risinājums Covid–19 pandēmijas izraisītiem apstākļiem, radīja daudz izaicinājumu. Tādēļ ir ļoti būtiski izpētīt, kādi faktori ietekmē skolotāju labizjūtu attālināto mācību laikā un not…
