Women in Neurosurgery: From a Matter of Fortuitous Occasions Toward a Conscious Choice.
2021
Background Medicine has made progress toward gender equality and has achieved almost equal distribution between men and women among graduates. However, more still needs to be done because most surgical subspecialties are still lacking adequate female representation and this persisting gender gap is particularly evident in both practical neurosurgery and the academic world. Gradual advancements have enabled a few women to pursue a successful career in neurologic surgery, pairing clinical practice with mentoring and involvement in academic research. These efforts show that more needs to be done to bridge the historic and current gap, which has recently aroused increasing interest among the ne…
Narratives by women managers about spousal support for their careers
2014
In this article we present a qualitative study of spousal support for the careers of women managers. The research material consists of the narratives of 25 women managers in Finland. The study has two main implications. Firstly, unlike previous studies, we use a narrative approach to demonstrate that a woman manager's career and spousal support are experienced as ambiguous and evolving over the career. The support was constructed by the women managers as flourishing, irrelevant, deficient or inconsistent. Secondly, to increase our knowledge about gender relations, we combine discussion of the topic with gender order analysis and suggest that gender order is critical for an understanding of …

Work and life balance – the new age management matter
2019
Even apart from the dramatic statistical data about sicknesses caused by imbalance and burnout, surveys make it clear that individuals are struggling to enjoy living because of the growing workload and the persistent presence of technologies around us (EQLS, 2016). Work-life imbalance causes loss for companies for several reasons - intentional or unintentional absence at work, high employee turnover, low productivity, insurance costs etc. The scientific question arises from the fact that until now there have not been clear researches which indicate the model of how the work and life balance (WLB) or imbalance is being created. Particularly, author is interested in how the interaction betwee…
Multiskilled in many ways : Ghanaian Female Journalists Between Job and Home
2020
In Ghana, feminisation of journalism profession has become a fact: more girls are entering journalism programmes in the Universities, and the number of women employees are growing in the newsrooms. The problem of balancing worktime arrangements (e.g. irregular and unpredictable work schedules, weekend work and long working hours) with equally important domestic obligations are familiar to most female journalists around the globe. Even in countries with well-developed social support structures, and well-defined labour laws, the current nature of journalism worktime arrangements impedes many female journalists to achieve work–life balance. For most Ghanaian female journalists, the culturally …
Gli strumenti di conciliazione nella prassi: analisi su un campione di contratti collettivi aziendali
2020
Individuare le vie verso un efficiente sistema di work-life balance è questione complessa e impone di considerare molteplici fattori, tra cui il ruolo strategico che può assumere la contrattazione collettiva nell’integrazione delle misure adottate a livello normativo, perfezionando la disciplina con diritti mirati o per meglio garantire l’attuazione di quelli esistenti. Fino a che punto, però, i contratti collettivi raggiungano nei fatti l’ambizioso obiettivo di potenziare i risultati in questa direzione è ciò che si intende meglio indagare, pur senza pretesa di esaustività. Il presente contributo si concentra sull’analisi dei contenuti di un campione di contratti collettivi di secondo live…

Pienten ja keskisuurten yritysten yrittäjät ovat tärkeä osa Suomen taloutta. Tämän vuoksi heidän hyvinvointiaan sekä työn ja muun elämän tasapainoa on tärkeää tutkia. Liiketoiminta kirjallisuus on perinteisesti tukenut näkemystä, jonka mukaan yrityksen johtaja tukee työntekijöidensä työn ja muun elämän tasapainoa sekä hyvinvointia.

Tämä tutkimus pyrkii vastaamaan muun muassa näihin kysymyksiin. Tutkimukseen osallistui kaksitoista pienten ja keskisuurten yritysten yrittäjää. Nämä yrittäjät toimivat eri toimialoilla ja eri pu…
