Stakeholder expectations : conceptual foundations and empirical analysis
2015
Expectations are an inseparable part of interaction, whether in interpersonal, intragroup, or organization–stakeholder relations. As a concept, expectations appear frequently in the public relations literature, yet definitions are scarce or narrow. This thesis contributes to the conceptual and empirical understanding of expectations in the context of organization–stakeholder relations and, more specifically, studies how organizations translate their societal roles and how stakeholders form expectations of these roles. The theoretical framework is drawn from Scandinavian institutionalism and corporate responsibility as social connectedness that, first, places organization–stakeholder relatio…

Interrelating agency, autonomy and identity in foreign language learning
2014
Foreign language (FL) learning is increasingly examined in terms of the language learning person’s agency, autonomy and identity. What agency refers to in FL learning and how it relates to autonomy and identity nevertheless remains unclear. As theoretical discussions about the interconnections are ambiguous, more empirical evidence is needed. The present article addresses this need, contributing to a fuller understanding of the three notions in FL education. The article explores one student’s FL learning in a general upper secondary school for adults (GUSSA), analysing her language narratives, which refer to her storied, FL related experiences. The findings suggest that agency can be concep…
‘I’m a foreign teacher’: legitimate positionings in the stories of a migrant teacher
2022
This qualitative study examines one migrant teacher’s identity positions in the context of a peer mentoring group setting in Finland. Combining theories of legitimacy and teacher narratives, this study asked which positions were available and legitimate for a migrant teacher. The analysis of three of the stories the teacher (‘Ji Yoo’) shared was inspired by Barkhuizen’s three-step framework for examining positioning in teacher narratives. Findings showed that Ji Yoo’s most legitimate positions were being ‘foreign’, novice teacher, cultural broker, and expert teacher, the latter two being the least frequent and least explicit ones. The authors suggest that migrant teachers’ struggles of havi…

"Lauletaan vaan yhdessä, pojat!" : musiikki ja identiteetti sotiemme veteraanien ryhmämusiikkiterapiassa - etnografis-narratiivinen tutkimus
2016
Studies concerning music and identity have shown that the music which an individual values as important tells stories about the subjective reality of the individual (Lehtonen & Niemelä 1997; Baker & Wigram 2004). Through the use of individualized meaningful music in music therapy, a possibility for raising and evaluating processes connected with identity can be created (Magee & Davidson 2004b). Even recent brain studies have shown these connections. When meaningful music is used activity is observed within deep parts of the brain, suggesting a connection between contextualized meaningful music and activity in the brain where the pleasure and the autobiographical memory centers exist (Buruna…
Johtaminen ja tarinankerronta organisaatioissa digitaalisessa vallankumouksessa
2017
Digitalization is the most recent and still ongoing industrial revolution, which challenges the traditional leadership theories while also organizational storytelling needs to be revised. This article summarizes the focal phases of leadership theory development while the focus is particularly on organizational storytelling. The purpose is to reflect leadership (theory and practice) in terms of digitalization by discussing such questions as how digitalization has been taken into cognizance this far and how digitalization will transform organizational storytelling and leadership in the future? Three illustrative empirical cases have been applied with a view to reveal insights on the nature an…
By accident or by design? : social enterprise leaders' stories of their career choice
2016
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tulkita ja kuvata yhteiskunnallisten yritysten johtaji-en uranvalintaa. Uranvalinta johtamisen parissa yhteiskunnallisissa yrityksissä on melko vähän tutkittu aihe, jonka vuoksi aiheeseen on syytä perehtyä lisää kokonaisvaltaisemman ymmärryksen saavuttamiseksi. Yhteiskunnallisen yrityksen käsite on myös vielä jokseenkin tuntematon Suomessa, ja niinpä tämä tutkimus pyrkii lisäämään tietoisuutta yhteiskunnallisista yrityksistä suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehys yhdistelee näkemyksiä johtamisesta yhteiskunnallisissa yrityksissä sekä uranvalinnasta. Keskeisimmät esitellyt teoriat ovat Hollandin tyyppiteoria, Scheinin ura-ankkuriteo…
The Power of Leadership Storytelling : Case of Adolf Hitler
2016
We consider the construction of leadership influence involving manipulation and from narrative standpoint. We use the career of Adolf Hitler as an empirical example - as a case - illustrating the huge, and potentially destructive, power of story-telling. Hitler is used as an illustrative case for how storytelling is involved in constructing great leadership influence – and with a view to making sense of such a leader’s story. We have applied both conceptual and narrative analysis in our empirical case. In terms of the narrative analysis, we follow Polkinghorne’s definition on narrative inquiry. Despite the significant attention given to storytelling in the contemporary management literature…
