Do You Trust Your Boss? – A Jungian Analysis of Leadership Reliability in CSR
2006
It is essential for corporate social responsibility that staff can trust its leaders. This paper argues that trust in leaders depends on the relationship between the leader’s values, words and actions. If they are in line, employees can trust the leader. If they are not, distrust prevails. Five alternative relationships between values, words and actions can be identified: (1) values = words = actions; (2) values = words != actions; (3) values != words = actions; (4) values != words != actions; and (5) values = actions != words. They can be analysed and interpreted through the Jungian concepts of ego, persona (public ego), shadow and self. In alternative (1) leaders’ Jungian ego has develope…

Digikehitysjohtajan tehtävissä tarvittavat kompetenssit : laadullinen tutkimus
2017
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää kirjallisuuskatsauksen ja empiirisen tutkimuksen avulla: mitä kompetensseja digikehitysjohtajan (eng. Chief Digital Officer, CDO) tehtävissä tarvitaan? Digitalisaatio on Mooren lain aikaansaama teknologian kehittymisen ilmiö, joka saa aikaan muutoksia, niin yksilö-, yritys- kuin yhteiskuntatasoilla. Yritysten näkökulmasta siihen liittyy keskeisesti digitaalinen transformaatio, jossa teknologian mahdollisuuksia pyritään hyödyntämään yrityksessä digitalisoinnin avulla. Digitaalinen transformaatio vaikuttaa yrityksiin monella tavalla, ja sen hyödyt ovat parhaiten nähtä-vissä asiakaskokemuksessa, prosesseissa ja liiketoimintamalleissa. Transformaatio…
Alaisen kokemuksia luottamuksen menettämisestä johtaja-alaissuhteessa
2014
Tässä opinnäytetyössä on tavoitteena selvittää, millaisia merkityksiä alaiset antavat kokemuksilleen luottamuksen menettämisestä johtaja-alaisvuorovaikutussuhteessa. Tutkimuksen kohteena on myös se, vaikuttaako ilmiö suhteen laatuun. Ilmiön kontekstina toimii johtaja-alaisvuorovaikutussuhde, jota tarkastellaan johtaja-alaissuhteen vaihdannan teorian (LMX-teorian) avulla. Tutkimus toteutettiin narrativiisen tutkimusmenetelmän avulla, jonka avulla haastateltavat kertoivat oman tarinansa luottamuksen menettämisestään johtaja-alaissuhteessa. Narratiivisella aineistonkeruulla pyrittiin saamaan mahdollisimman avointa aineistoa tutkittavasta ilmiöstä. Tutkimusaineisto analysoitiin kvalitatiivisell…

The guanxi ties of managers in mainland China – a critical analysis based on gender
2018
Purpose Inadequate social networks are often seen as an explanation of the under-representation of women in management. Networks contain culture-specific features, as in China where the term guanxi is used, defined as a shared common identification held by two or more individuals (Jacobs, 1979). In several studies, guanxi has been found to relate positively to success at work both for the individual and the organization, but little is known about it from gender and career perspectives. Referring especially to the earlier studies by Chow and Ng (2004), the purpose of this paper is to address the meaning of guanxi networks for top women IT managers in mainland China.
