ICT-driven disruptive innovation nurtures un-captured GDP : Harnessing women's potential as untapped resources

2017

The harnessing of untapped resources has become essential for inclusive growth in digital economies particularly as developed economies continue to age demographically. The harnessing of women's potential is an urgent subject in this context, and successive initiatives have been flourishing in many countries. However, given the institutional complexity of the issue, as well as considerable variety across nations, uniformed non-systematic approaches are hardly satisfactory in achieving a timely solution. Against this back drop, this paper analyzed a new information communication technology (ICT)-driven disruptive innovation that may nurture un-captured GDP by harnessing untapped resources su…

Distributed leadership in Finnish and Shanghai schools

2016

The present research employed mixed-methods approach to further theorise distributed leadership and to investigate its manifestations in Finnish and Shanghai schools. The whole research comprised two phases. The first phase contained a meta-analysis (Sub-study I), which systematically reviewed 85 key distributed leadership articles published between 2002 and 2013. The meta-analysis identified two main research paradigms: the descriptive-analytical paradigm and the prescriptive-normative paradigm. It also yielded a resource–agency duality model of distributed leadership. In this model, distributed leadership is seen as a process with both organisational and individual perspectives. From the …

Shanghai Teachers’ Perceptions of Distributed Leadership: Resources and Agency

2021

Purpose:Drawing on distributed leadership and motivation theories, this study investigates teachers’ perceptions of resource and agency distributions and identifies the key factors motivating leadership among teachers.Design/Approach/Methods:This quantitative study collected data from 327 teachers in nine schools in Shanghai. Chi-square tests of independence were conducted to examine the associations between leadership structures and power distance, while Spearman’s correlation tests were used to identify changes in leadership resource impact. A nonparametric Friedman’s test was applied to detect discrepancies between the agency of principals, team leaders, and teachers. Finally, Chi-square…

Change and continuity in the academic profession : Finnish universities as living labs

2019

The academic profession is challenged by the changing environment. Global trends, such as managerialism and new public management, have been influencing all public organizations, including universities. The academic profession is dynamic by its nature; it reflects any changes in its environment. However, the academic profession is also characterized by continuity. In this study, we describe the current changes and continuities of the academic profession in Finland, as perceived by top and middle managers employed in Finnish Universities. We found out that logics and values by organizational professionalism are emphasized; however, occupational professionalism is also deeply rooted in the pr…

Experiences of arbitrary management among Finnish academics in an era of academic capitalism

2020

For the last two decades, Finnish universities have faced the implementation of new systems of control and undergone dramatic changes that have worsened academic working conditions–such as corporatisation and budget cuts. This article explores Finnish academics’ experiences of university reforms with a special focus on the consequences it has had in terms of organisational socio-dynamics. We adapt Glynos and Howarth’s logics of critical explanation and apply this theoretical framework to analyse the interviews of academics who, against their own will, did not have their contracts renewed. This approach describes, explains, and criticises the logics–which are social, political and fantasmati…

Innovatiivisuus ja sen johtajuuskäytännöt julkisen sektorin organisaatiossa

2016

Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli lisätä tietoa innovatiivisuudesta, innovatiivisuuteen vaikuttavista tekijöistä sekä innovatiivisuuteen yhteydessä olevista johtajuuskäytännöistä suuressa suomalaisessa julkisen sektorin asiantuntijaorganisaatiossa. Teemahaastattelujen avulla kerätty aineisto analysoitiin käyttäen teoriaohjaavaa, kvalitatiivista sisällönanalyysiä. Tutkimuksen teoreettisena viitekehyksenä toimi mukailtu versio Crossanin ja Apaydinin luomasta, organisaation innovatiivisuutta kuvaavasta mallista, joka käsittää sekä innovatiivisuuteen vaikuttavat tekijät että innovaation ulottuvuudet. Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittivat innovatiivisuuden näkyvyyden olevan organisaatiossa epätasaista. Inno…

Miehiseen vallan linnakkeeseen kohdistuu kova muutospaine : urheiluorganisaatiossa vaietaan yhä tärkeistä asioista ja muutos vaatii pitkäjänteistä ty…

Olympiakomitean skandaali ja Mika Lehtimäen ero muistuttavat, että monien urheiluorganisaatioiden toiminnan ihanteiden ja todellisuuden välillä on edelleen usein suuri ero. Tutkimus osoittaa, että vaikka juhlapuheissa puhutaan avoimuudesta, käytännössä esimerkiksi häirinnästä ja sopimattomasta käytöksestä edelleen vaietaan, toteaa apulaisprofessori Suvi Heikkinen. nonPeerReviewed
