Is work intensification bad for employees? A review of outcomes for employees over the last two decades

2022

Work intensification (WI) is a notable job stressor, which has been hypothesised to result in various negative outcomes for employees. However, earlier empirical studies regarding this stressor hypothesis have not yet been reviewed. Our narrative review focused on the outcomes for employees of WI as a perceived job stressor. Our review was based on selected qualitative and quantitative empirical studies (k = 44) published in peer-reviewed journals between the years 2000 and 2020.

“No Worries, there is No Error-Free Leadership!” : Error Strain, Worries about Leadership, and Leadership Career Intentions among Non-Leaders

2022

The growing body of research suggests that leadership is not among the most attractive career goals, especially for the younger work force. However, the need for leadership has not diminished. To shed light on the “problem of supply”, this study addresses the question of why high-potential individuals (i.e., non-leaders) do not pursue leadership positions by focusing on worries about leadership (WAL) and error-related strain. We had two aims: (1) to identify different profiles of WAL among highly educated professionals, and (2) to explore whether their error strain and leadership career intentions differ among the identified WAL profiles. Data were gathered from 955 highly educated Finnish …

Esimiestyön merkitys työhyvinvoinnin tukena : kokemuksia ikääntyvien liikunnanopettajien työurien varrelta

2019

Koulun johtamisella on keskeinen rooli ikääntyneiden opettajien työhyvinvointiin ja jaksamiseen. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin yli 30 vuoden työuran tehneitä liikunnanopettajia ja kahta liikunnanopettajataustaista rehtoria. Tavoitteena oli saada tietoa siitä, mitkä asiat koulun johtamisessa ovat vaikuttaneet liikunnanopettajien työhyvinvointiin ja viihtymiseen työuran aikana. Teemahaastatteluina kerätty aineisto analysoitiin sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tutkitut liikunnanopettajat olivat innostuneita työstään, mikä voimaannutti heitä. Liikunnanopettajat kaipasivat itsenäiseen työhönsä kuitenkin esimiehen tukea ja kannustusta. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että oikeudenmukainen ja osallistuva …

Hybrid Work: Gen Z Expectations and Internal Employer Branding Implications

2022

Gen Z – also known as ‘Generation Z’ or ‘iGeneration’ born between 1997 and 2009 – has been hit the hardest by the pandemic and remote work. Whilst the global workforce will include nearly 27% of Gen Z by 2025, it appears essential to address their needs and preferences. This chapter provides new Gen Z white-collar workers’ insights hitherto scarce in research – comparably to those of Gen Z students – to help understand how to motivate, engage, and develop them. In particular, Gen Z's values and expectations for hybrid work emerge from 15 qualitative online interviews leveraged to advance recommendations to enhance internal employer branding – that is branding intended for the organisation’…

Exploring organizational dissent in a global setting

2018

The current research project focuses on a distinctive form of employee voice: organizational dissent. Dissent is the key to correcting organizational misconduct, facilitating group innovation and enhancing both employee satisfaction and organizational performance. Although organizational dissent has garnered substantial scholarly attention over the last two decades, most of these studies were developed in and for the domestic US environment; little is known about how dissent is conceptualized, expressed and received in a different cultural setting. This dissertation aims to complement previous research by investigating the relationship between organizational dissent and workplace freedom of…

Työtyytyväisyys tietotyössä Herzbergin kaksifaktoriteorian valossa

2011

Pro gradu –tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tarkastella tietotyöntekijöiden työtyytyväisyyttä ja sen erityispiirteitä verrattuna muihin palkansaajiin. Niin tietotyötä kuin työtyytyväisyyttäkin on tutkittu tahoillaan paljon, mutta sen sijaan tietotyöntekijöiden työtyytyväisyyden erityispiirteitä ei ole aiemmin tutkittu. Tietotyöntekijöiksi on tässä tutkimuksessa luokiteltu korkeasti koulutetut työntekijät, jotka voivat sekä ideoida että suunnitella omaa työtään. Lähes kaikki heistä käyttävät tietotekniikkaa työssään, vaikka se ei olekaan ollut ehdoton edellytys tämän tutkimuksen näkökulmasta. Työtyytyväisyys tässä tutkimuksessa noudattelee Fredric Herzbergin kahden faktorin työtyytyväisyysteoria…
