Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on market orientation in retail banking

2021

AbstractThis qualitative study examines the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the implementation of market orientation (MO) in the context of retail banking. The findings show that MO was significantly reflected in the behaviors of banks upon encountering the COVID-19 situation, with the banks increasing their MO in response to the crisis. This study finds subcategories based on the empirical data that explain the implementation of MO in more detail. Overall, the findings provide valuable conceptual and managerial insights into the modus operandi of banks during a crisis and offer new best practices for the banking industry.

Ajallisuus ja rationaalisuus COVID-19-pandemian vaiheissa : järkytys, välitila ja "paluu normaaliin"

2022

Artikkeli selvittää COVID-19-pandemian ajallisia ja intersubjektiivisia ulottuvuuksia eksistentiaalisen fenomenologian näkökulmasta. Teoreettisena lähtökohtana ovat erityisesti Martin Heideggerin ja Jean-Paul Sartren ajallisuuden ja autenttisuuden analyysit sekä Edmund Husserlin kuvaus uskomuksista pidättäytymisestä (epokhē). Esitän, että pandemian alkuvaiheen erityislaatuinen ajallinen ulottuvuus liittyy maailmavarmuuden järkkymiseen ja elämän haurauden kohtaamiseen. Kun kuoleman mahdollisuus hallitsee inhimillistä kanssakäymistä, olemassaoloa alkaa luonnehtia odotus ”normaaliin” palaamisesta ja nykyisyyden todellisuus hämärtyy. Analysoin tätä problematiikkaa ennen kaikkea epokhēn, autentt…

Re-entry issues and challenges of Finnish repatriates : study of corporate expatriates, employees of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and employees …

2015

This study provides an insight to the re-entry and re-adaptation experiences of three different privileged, voluntary, temporary groups of Finnish professionals. The main goal for the qualitative research was to find greater understanding of the re-entry phenomenon, and outline and identify the most important aspects of the home country re-entry process of the chosen sojourner groups. In addition, the study aimed to clarify possible differences and similarities of the re-entry experiences between these groups. The study was mainly based on the repatriation adjustment model of Black, Gregersen, and Mendenhall from 1992, although theories and studies of various other academic scholars were al…

Relationship between intercultural friendship networks and homesickness level of international degree students at a Finnish university

2015

An increasing number of international students are coming to Finland due to a high quality and tuition free education. International students form the second biggest group of immigrants in Finland. Universities see international students as important for establishing international contacts and developing the country’s economy and, therefore, are concerned about their well-being. The current thesis explores the relationship between intercultural friendship and homesickness levels among international degree students at a Finnish university. The thesis consists of two parts: a monograph on cross-cultural adaptation of international students and a research article exploring the relationship bet…

Negative impact of freeze–thaw cycles on the survival of tardigrades

2023

Global warming effects in temperate and polar regions include higher average temperatures and a decrease in snow cover, which together lead to an increase in the number of freeze–thaw cycles (FTC). These changes could affect the fitness of both terrestrial and aquatic species. In this study, we tested how tardigrades, ubiquitous microscopic invertebrates, face FTC. Tardigrades are amongst the most resistant animals to unfavorable conditions, including long and deep freezing periods, and are an emerging model group for invertebrate ecology and evolution. We used 12 populations of tardigrades, representing different families within order Parachela, inhabiting different ecosystems (glaciers, s…

Climate change influences on aviation: A literature review

2020

While the aviation sector has long been referenced as contributing to the causes of climate change, the need for aviation to adapt to the consequences of climate change has not been as well researched or considered. The paper is a systematic quantitative literature review on climate change and aviation, which aims to explicate significant issues affecting aviation in a changing climate and to identify the aviation industry responses on climate change and adaptation. There are 46 references involved in the detailed assessment, selected according to variables such as methodology, paper outcomes and industry stakeholder. This emergent aviation and climate change adaptation literature could be …

Personality Traits and Changes in Health Behaviors and Depressive Symptoms during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Analysis from Pre-pandemic to…

2021

The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures targeting the transmission of the virus impacted everyday life in 2020. This study investigated pre- to in-pandemic changes in health behaviors and depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of personality traits in these changes in Finland. Data from a larger population-based cohort study of 51–59-year-old Finnish women were used (n = 358). Self-reported questionnaires gathered information about depressive symptoms, eating behavior, physical activity, and alcohol consumption before the pandemic time, at the onset, and at the end of the COVID-19 emergency conditions. Information about personality traits (extraversion an…
