Methodological considerations for studies in sport and exercise science with women as participants: a working guide for standards of practice for res…

2021

AbstractUntil recently, there has been less demand for and interest in female-specific sport and exercise science data. As a result, the vast majority of high-quality sport and exercise science data have been derived from studies with men as participants, which reduces the application of these data due to the known physiological differences between the sexes, specifically with regard to reproductive endocrinology. Furthermore, a shortage of specialist knowledge on female physiology in the sport science community, coupled with a reluctance to effectively adapt experimental designs to incorporate female-specific considerations, such as the menstrual cycle, hormonal contraceptive use, pregnanc…

Recovery of rescuers from a 24-h shift and its association with aerobic fitness.

2017

Objectives: Rescuers work in 24-h shifts and the demanding nature of the occupation requires adequate recovery between work shifts. The purpose of this study has been to find out what kind of changes in autonomic control may be seen during work shift and its recovery period in the case of rescuers. An additional interest has been to see if aerobic fitness is associated with recovery from work shifts. Material and Methods: Fourteen male rescuers (aged 34±9 years old) volunteered to participate in the study. Heart rate variability (HRV) was recorded for 96 h to study stress and recovery, from the beginning of a 24-h work shift to the beginning of the next shift. Aerobic fitness assessment inc…

Digital skills and application use among Finnish home care workers in the eldercare sector

2021

This chapter explores the role digital skills, interest in technology, and social support have in home care workers’ use of digital applications at work. The empirical research is based on the 2019 University of Jyväskylä survey study on eldercare work (N = 6,903), drawn from the members of four majors trade unions in Finland. In this chapter, a sub-sample of home care workers (n = 1,398) is used in the analyses. Structural equation models are used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of available technology support, digital skills, and interest in technology on the actual use of various digital applications at work. According to the results, technology support has no direct effect o…

Epäkerrottu ja vastakerronta Ben Lernerin romaanissa 10:04

2017

Tutkielman tavoitteena on analysoida henkilökertojan sisäisen maailman esittämistä yhdysvaltalaisen Ben Lernerin romaanissa 10:04 (2014) Gerald Princen epäkerrotun (engl. disnarrated) ja Brian Richardsonin vastakerronnan (engl. denarration) käsitteiden pohjalta. Narratologiassa epäkerrotun käsitteellä tarkoitetaan sellaisia kerrottuja tapahtumia, jotka eivät toteudu kertomuksen tarinamaailmassa, mutta ovat siellä kuitenkin mahdollisia. Vastakerronnalla viitataan puolestaan kerronnan tilanteisiin, joissa kiistetään tai perutaan kertomuksen elementtejä, jotka on siihen asti esitetty tarinamaailmaan kuuluvina. Tässä tutkielmassa epäkerrottua ja vastakerrontaa käsitellään erityisesti henkilöker…

Henkilöstöpolitiikan haasteet monikulttuurisessa organisaatiossa : United Nations assistance mission in Afghanistan 2015

The main objective of this thesis was to isolate the challenges related on the human resource (HR) and staffing policies in the multicultural organization and what sort of positive output it will have on the organization employees if any. The purpose of the study was to examine various HR policy options available, and based on that senior management of the organization would have better view on what sort of HR policies and staff development plans should be emphasized in the organization. The purpose of the policy planning is to support the organization structure and to maximize the staff-ing performance at the workplace throughout the various professional trainings and career development pl…

Seniority rules, worker mobility and wages : evidence from multi-country linked employer-employee data

2018

We construct multi-country employer-employee data to examine the consequences of last-in, first-out rules. We identify the effects by comparing worker exit rates between different units of the same firms operating in Sweden and Finland, two countries that have different seniority rules. We observe a relatively lower exit rate for more senior workers in Sweden in the shrinking firms and among the low-wage workers. These empirical patterns are consistent with last-in, first-out rules in Sweden providing protection from dismissals for the more senior workers among the worker groups to whom the rules are most relevant. Similarly, we observe a steeper seniority-wage profile in Sweden, suggesting…

Human resource development practices supporting creativity in Finnish growth organizations

2020

Creativity can be enhanced through appropriate Human Resource Development (HRD) practices that support employees’ learning and competence development. The aim of this study is to increase our understanding of HRD practices that enhance creativity in Finnish growth companies. To achieve this aim, we searched for creativity requirements based on employees’ experiences expressed in interviews, and we studied HRD practices used in organizations that respond to the requirements of creativity. We gathered 98 interviews from personnel in technology, industrial and artistic design organizations and utilized them for a theory‐driven content analysis to identify the variety of requirements for creati…

Big data and HR analytics in the digital era

2019

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on how the HR function takes advantage of human resource analytics (HRA), including big data (BD), and discuss factors hindering HRA and data utilization. Moreover, the authors discuss the implications of the HRA-induced role transformation of the human resource (HR) function. Design/methodology/approach This is an explorative case study based on qualitative interviews in nine leading Finnish companies. Findings The results indicate that both technical and human obstacles, operating with very basic HR processes and traditional information systems and poor data quality, hinder adoption of advanced HRA. This, combined with lacking skills in analy…

The extended late career phase – examining senior nursing professionals

2021

PurposeBy relying on a sustainable career perspective and recent studies on senior employees’ late career phase, this study aims to examine senior (50+) nurses’ late career narratives in the context of extending retirement age. Given the current global nursing shortage, there is a pressing need to find ways on how to promote longer and sustainable careers in the health-care field. Yet, there is limited knowledge about the extended late career phase of senior nurses.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical data were derived from 22 interviews collected among senior (50+) nursing professionals working in a Finnish university hospital. The qualitative interview data were analysed using a narrative…
