Support for culture via crowdfunding in question: beyond motivations, an analysis of the barriers to participate
2017
In a context of strong budgetary pressure for non-market cultural organizations and of relative slowdown of crowdfunding campaigns in this sector, this reflection aims to provide a critical analysis of these new forms of financial support for culture. After drawing up a state of the art on the levers and obstacles to participation in such financing operations, the results of a qualitative study based on 43 individuals (donors and non-donors, familiar or not with cultural practices) will be exposed to highlight the diversity of misgivings about crowdfunding, beyond the traditional barriers attached to cultural gift, and the paradoxes that these calls for generosity arouse.
Personalization and hedonic motivation in creating customer experiences and loyalty in omnichannel retail

Developing and Validating a Behavioural Model of Cyberinsurance Adoption
2021
Business disruption from cyberattacks is a growing concern, yet cyberinsurance uptake remains low. Using an online behavioural economics experiment with 4800 participants across four EU countries, this study tests a predictive model of cyberinsurance adoption, incorporating elements of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as well as factors in relation to risk propensity and price. During the experiment, participants were given the opportunity to purchase different cybersecurity measures and cyberinsurance products before performing an online task. Participants likelihood of suffering a cyberattack was dependent upon their adoption of cybersecurity me…
The changing role of the English language in Finland : The role of English from the point of view of entrepreneurs in the metal industry in Southern …

Englannin kielen käyttö yleisenä yhteisenä kielenä, lingua francana, on lisääntynyt niin maailmalla kuin Suomessakin erityisesti muutaman viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana. Globalisaation myötä muutos on ollut kiivasta myös yritysmaailmassa. Ulkomaalaisen työvoiman käyttö Suomessa, esimerkiksi rakennus- ja metallialalla, on lisääntynyt, minkä johdosta englannin kielen käyttö yhteisenä kielenä metallialan yrityksissä on selvästi kasvanut. Työyhteisöjen lisääntynyt englannin kielen käyttö ei siis koske vain suomalaisia monikansallisia yrityksiä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, kuinka aikanaan 1970- ja 1980-luvuilla ammattikoulupohjaisella tai pelkällä peruskoulupohjaisella koulutu…
"It’s useful but challenging, and it’s not for everyone" : motivational and practical reasons behind Finnish upper secondary students’ decision to no…
2016
Suomessa opiskellaan enenevässä määrin vain kahta kieltä opetuskielen lisäksi. Syitä tähän kehityskulkuun on etsitty mm. kielikoulutuksen rahoituksen leikkauksista muuttuneisiin asenteisiin, mutta mitään yksittäistä ratkaisevaa tekijää ei ole löydetty. Myöskään tilanteen korjaamiseksi aloitetut kieliohjelmat eivät ole onnistuneet vaikuttamaan toivotusti pitkällä aikavälillä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tutkia asiaa opiskelumotivaation näkökulmasta. Motivaatiolla on todettu olevan myönteinen vaikutus oppimistuloksiin, joten sen ymmärtäminen antaa mahdollisuuksia tukea oppijoita ja heidän tarpeitaan. Tutkimus toteutettiin kyselynä, johon osallistui 109 suomenkielistä koulua käyvää luki…

‘I was excited to train, so I didn’t have problems with the coach’: dual career athletes’ experiences of (dis)empowering motivational climates
2019
In addition to investing in athletic development, adolescent elite athletes are expected to complete their secondary education. As a result of this expectation and the demands of sport and education, they may struggle to sustain high levels of motivation for both domains. Grounded in theoretical tenets of empowering coaching, this study sought to explore student–athletes’ perceptions of empowering and disempowering motivational climates and their possible implications for athletes’ dual career experiences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 Finnish student–athletes, and the data were thematically analysed. The analysis indicated that a majority of the athletes had experiences…

Asociación entre clima motivacional, ajuste escolar y funcionalidad familiar en adolescentes
2019
The present study seeks to define and contrast an explanatory model of motivational climate, school adjustment and family functioning, and to analyse the existing associations between the aforementioned variables through structural equation analysis. The sample includes 2,134 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years from the province of Granada. Motivational climate (PMCSQ-2), school adjustment (EBAE-10) and family functioning (APGAR) are analysed. A descriptive cross-sectional design is used and the program AMOS 23.0 is employed to construct the multi-group structural equation model. The model showed appropriate fit (χ2 = 241.34; df = 17; p < .001; CFI = .953; NFI = .950; IFI = .953; RMSEA = .079).…
