Työhyvinvoinnin paradoksit kolmannen sektorin palkkatyössä

2018

In recent years, the institutional environment of Finland’s third sector has undergone major changes. One consequence of that has been paid work becoming more important in organizing third sector activities.

Moreover, the dissertation analyzes the factors that create and reduce third sector employee well-being. Based on Statistic Finland’s …

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.

Future Directions in Workplace Communication

2019

Various utopias and dystopias regarding the significance of human communication in the future workplace have been presented. Artificial intelligence (AI) will undoubtedly be one of the most remarkable influences on future work, and employees must prepare themselves to have social robots as coworkers. Partly as a result of the increased use of AI, various forms of self-employment will gain ground. Lifelong occupations and professions will be less common, and the value of one’s ever-evolving skills and knowledge, applicable to diverse work contexts, will consequently receive more emphasis. Knowledge work will increasingly take place in digital communication environments, and telework and othe…

Vuorovaikutus sairaalajohtoryhmien kokouksissa

2018

Kokoukset lienevät yleisin työelämän vuorovaikutuskäytänne ja siten organisoinnin keskeinen areena. Kokouksista on kirjoitettu lähinnä opaskirjallisuutta ja kokouksiin keskittyvä tutkimus on lisääntynyt vasta viime vuosina. Kokousteoreettinen jäsennys on kuitenkin edelleen vähäistä. Organisaation konstituointi tapahtuu vuorovaikutusprosesseissa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sairaalajohtoryhmien kokousvuorovaikutusta. Johtoryhmäkokoukset ovat merkittävä osa sairaaloiden tiedonjakamis- ja johtamisjärjestelmiä, mutta sairaalaorganisaatioissa kokouksia on tutkittu vain vähän. Tämän väitöstutkimuksen tavoitteena on kuvata vuorovaikutusta ja jäsentää sen rakenteita sairaalajohtoryhmäkokouksi…

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…

Finnish Police Supervisors’ Conceptions of Workplace Learning and Its Sustainability

2023

Workplace learning (WPL) is a complex phenomenon involving the intertwined processes of working and learning. Recent studies have shown the importance of sustainable perspectives in WPL situations. In the literature, sustainable development is still predominantly referred to environmental, economic and social sustainability. In this study, sustainable perspectives denote the widespread use of previous knowledge, the rapid application of new knowledge and the effects of this knowledge on well-being, thus leaning on human sustainability. The purpose of this study is to examine conceptions of WPL among Finnish police supervisors and to reveal whether sustainable learning perspectives manifest.…
