Ammatillinen toimijuus työelämän muutosvirrassa.
2014
Työorganisaatioilta ja työntekijöiltä edellytetään jatkuvaa kehittymistä nykyajan työelämässä. Jatkuvan uudistamisen tuoksinnassa on oleellista pohtia ja tutkia, miten kehittäminen voi tapahtua kestävällä tavalla tukien yksilöiden aktiivista osallistumista, jaksamista ja identiteettityötä. Hallinnolliset määräykset ja ohjeistukset saattavat olla tehokkaita luomaan muutoksia työelämässä, mutta samalla uudistusten inhimilliset kärsimykset saattavat nousta liian suuriksi. – Katja Vähäsantasen väitöskirja Vocational teachers’ professional agency in the stream of change (Jyväskylän yliopisto 2013).
