Work–Family Practices and Complexity of Their Usage: A Discourse Analysis Towards Socially Responsible Human Resource Management

2020

AbstractThe question of work–family practices commonly arises in both theory and daily practice as a matter of responsibility in today’s organisations. More information is needed about them for socially responsible human resource management (SR-HRM). In this article our interest is in how work–family practices, serve as an important element of SR-HRM, constructed as (un)helpful for employees’ work–family integration, are realised in organisational life. We investigate the discursive ways in which members of two different organisations working at different organisational levels construct the issue in the Finnish context. Three discourses were interpreted: (1) a discourse of compliance with e…

HR scenario game : Learning human resource management in a virtual environment

2021

This paper introduces a computer-based online scenario game that was developed to enhance the learning of human resource management (HRM) in an undergraduate course at a business school in Finland. What makes this game unique is that students played an important and active role in developing the game in collaboration with lecturers. Our findings show that the game enhances learning, interaction, and collaboration among students. We discuss how computer-based games and their development in collaboration with students can be used as a means for learning and improving working-life skills in higher education.

The Continued Innovation-Decision Process : A Case Study of Continued Adoption of Robotic Process Automation

2022

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) originally entered the field of information systems as one of those disruptive innovations that will, among other automation solutions, have a profound effect on job descriptions and work itself in near future. One of the sectors that will be revolutionized – and are in fact already changing – are financial and human resource (HR) services, such as accounting, billing, and payroll services. According to statistics, Finnish companies operating on the administrative and support services sector make little use of service robots. Companies that have initially adopted the technology do not necessary reach its full potential. We explore what factors create challen…

The Slow Adoption Rate of Software Robotics in Accounting and Payroll Services and the Role of Resistance to Change in Innovation-Decision Process

2022

Robotic process automation (RPA) has by now for years been viewed as a disruptive innovation that will have a significant impact on accounting, HR and payroll services, and yet the rate of adopting the innovation has not reached a level anticipated in past predictions. As several elements have a negative impact on the organization’s rate of adopting RPA, passive resistance to change has a significant impact in the form of constant dithering. Resistance to change can emerge at any stage of the Innovation-Decision process and fluctuate throughout the continued adoption, causing wasted investments, capabilities and resources. peerReviewed

Mutusta dataan : big datan ja analytiikan hyödyntäminen yhdeksän suomalaisen suuryrityksen henkilöstötoiminnoissa

2016

Datan määrä kasvaa jatkuvasti ja dataa analysoimalla yritysten on mahdollista saavuttaa liiketoiminnallisia hyötyjä. Myös yritysten henkilöstötoiminnoilla on hallussaan paljon arvokasta dataa, mutta ne kykenevät hyödyntämään sitä vain harvoin päätöksenteossaan. Historiallisesti henkilöstötoiminnossa päätöksenteko on pitkälti perustunut tunteisiin, henkilökohtaisiin kokemuksiin ja yrityksissä vallinneisiin uskomuksiin. Eri sidosryhmät ovat kuitenkin alkaneet asettaa yhä enemmän paineita yritysten kyvylle osoittaa numeerisesti henkilöstöstrategioidensa vaikuttavuutta ja kykyä tukea liiketoiminnan päätöksentekoa. Henkilöstötoiminto on ollut pitkään eri muutosvoimien kohteena ja sen rooli yrity…

HRM models of online labor platforms : Strategies of market and corporate logics

2023

Studies on online labor platforms (OLPs) have revealed that OLPs can have extensive managerial control over independent workers, which affects their autonomy and precariousness. The permeability of the management makes some OLPs' roles as neutral intermediaries in labor exchanges questionable. While there are several platform work studies on the effects of human resource management (HRM) activities, earlier studies have focused more on certain types of OLP companies. Earlier OLP classifications did not make systematic distinctions between HRM activities either. This paper offers a classification to view how HRM activities manifest in OLPs. The study utilizes terms of service and webpage dat…

Recruitments in Finnish universities: practicing strategic or pathetic HRM?

2016

Recruitment is a core instrument in the academic labour market. This article takes the perspective of the organisation − here, the university − on recruitment. Universities’ personnel policies and practises are shifting from legally oriented personnel administration to more strategic human resource management (HRM). In Nordic countries, this shift is partly driven by the changing status of higher education institutions from state-governed bureaus to more autonomous institutions. This article provides insight into this transition, using Finland as a case example of higher education systems that have undergone drastic reform, moving from a civil servant model to autonomous personnel policy. D…

What's it all worth? : a qualitative study on what motivates women in low-paying jobs in Finland

2017

The concept of work motivation has received increased attention in the management literature during the past decades, and the interest continues well into today’s management practices and related research. This should be the case, as motivated employees can be considered as the most valuable resources a company can have. Through exploratory research design, qualitative research strategy and qualitative thematic analysis of the data, this study aims to provide insights to what motivates women employed in low-paying jobs in Finland. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews of 14 women who are working in jobs considered as low-paying. From the data, three overarching th…
