Yhteinen ymmärtäminen koulutuksessa ja työssä : kontekstin merkitys ymmärtämisessä opiskelijaryhmän ja työtiimin keskusteluissa

2006

Ulla Maija Valleala tutki väitöskirjassaan, miten kahden avoimen yliopiston opiskelijaryhmän ja nuorisotyöntekijätiimin on mahdollista oppia tuloksellisemmin yhteisen ymmärryksen avulla. Oppiminen edellyttää ymmärrykseen ja dokumentointiin tähtäävää vuorovaikutusta. Työtiimeiltä vaaditaan lisäksi kykyä osoittaa esimiehilleen toimintansa arvo ja tehokkuus.Opiskelijaryhmillä yhteistä ymmärrystä edistää opiskeltavista käsitteistä ja niiden tulkinnoista keskusteleminen. Parempiin oppimistuloksiin päästään, jos ryhmäkeskustelutehtävät virittävät pienryhmissä toimivia muotoilemaan omia kysymyksiä, muokkaamaan tietoa ja tarkastelemaan sitä eri näkökulmista. Ryhmäkeskustelu ei kuitenkaan yksin riit…

Work ability as a determinant of old age disability severity: evidence from the 28-year Finnish Longitudinal Study on Municipal Employees

2012

Background and aims: Lower occupational class correlates with a higher disability risk later in life. However, it is not clear whether the demands made by mental and physical work relative to individual resources in midlife predict well-being in old age. This study investigated prospectively whether work ability in midlife predicts disability severity in activities of everyday living in old age. Methods: Data come from the population-based 28-year follow-up called Finnish Longitudinal Study of Municipal Employees. A total of 2879 occupationally active persons aged 44-58 years answered a questionnaire on work ability at baseline in 1981 and activities of daily living in 2009. At baseline, pe…

Emergence of technostress among employees working with physical robots

2023

Despite the growing body of literature on technostress, there is limited knowledge about the emergence of technostress among people working with physical robots. In this paper, we aim to address this research gap by exploring how technostress emerges among employees working with physical robots. The study was based on qualitative online questionnaire responses from 197 present or previous users of robots at work. Based on our data, we identified several robot-related environmental conditions that contributed to perceived work-related stress. Our findings reveal that the emergence of technostress among employees working with physical robots has distinct characteristics and that the technostr…

Teachers’ professional agency in a centralisation-decentralisation system and a hierarchical cultural context : the case of Hong Kong

2022

Teachers are frontline actors in actualising educational innovations. In some contexts, teachers’ professional agency is undervalued. This study investigated teachers’ agency and its related workplace affordances in Hong Kong, which features a centralised-decentralisation education governance system, and a hierarchical work culture. The study was based on 21 semi-structured interviews with teachers, and employed a deductive thematic analysis. Agency enactment was categorised into 1) pedagogical agency within classrooms, and 2) relational agency in the professional community. The factors contributing to workplace affordances were grouped as pertaining to 1) the collegial community, 2) school…

Newcomers in the Workplace

2019

When newcomers enter a workplace, the focus is usually only on orientation and onboarding tactics, which aim to socialize newcomers into the workplace. However, it is through workplace relationships that newcomers make sense of their work tasks and create an understanding of “our workplace.” This chapter describes the processes of interpersonal communication in the workplace during a newcomer’s entry phase. Newcomers may face uncertainty regarding professional performance, relationships, job tasks, or membership. This uncertainty is managed by information-seeking strategies. In social interaction with others, newcomers construct their belonging through membership negotiation and identificat…

Sosiaalityön asiantuntijuus vastaanottopalveluissa

2019

Esityksen tavoitteena on luoda kuvaa niistä haasteista, joita suomalainen vastaanottojärjestelmä on kohdannut Eurooppaa kohdanneen niin kutsutun pakolaiskriisin myötä, sekä paikantamaan millaista sosiaalityön asiantuntijuutta se tarvitsee. Esitys perustuu Sosiaalipolitiikan ja sosiaalityön tutkimuksen aikakausilehti Januksessa julkaistuun puheenvuoroon ”Sosiaalityön asiantuntijuus vastaanottopalveluissa”, jonka olen kirjoittanut yhdessä sostt, YTM, Sari Kärkkäisen kanssa. Esityksen lähtökohtana on vastaanottokeskusten arki, jossa työntekijät käyttävät valtaa suhteissa asiakkaisiin. Vastaanottokeskuksissa työntekijällä on valtaa suhteessa asiakkaaseen, esimiehellä työntekijään, johdolla esim…
