Examining the side effects of organizational Internet monitoring on employees
2020
PurposeInternet monitoring in organizations can be used to monitor risks associated with Internet usage and information systems in organizations, such as employees' cyberloafing behavior and information security incidents. Extant research has mainly discussed the effect of Internet monitoring in achieving the targeted goals (e.g. mitigating cyberloafing behavior and information security incidents), but little attention has been paid to the possible side effects of Internet monitoring. Drawing on affective events theory, the authors attempt to reveal that Internet monitoring may cause side effects on employees' Internet usage policy satisfaction, intrinsic work motivation and affective organ…
The Development of Motivation and Amotivation to Study and Work across Age-Graded Transitions in Adolescence and Young Adulthood
2019
People’s motivation to engage in studying and working is an important precursor of participation and attainment. However, little is known about how motivation and the lack of motivation develops normatively across adolescence and young adulthood. Furthermore, there is no comparison of motivation and amotivation development across sequential age-graded transitions such as the mid-schooling transition in adolescence and the school-to-work transition in young adulthood. The current study explored trajectories of motivation and amotivation development in Finland, using piecewise growth curve modelling to analyze five waves of data (age 15–22 years) from a sample of 878 youth (52% male). Indicat…
A field experiment for understanding the unintended impact of Internet monitoring on employees : Policy satisfaction, organizational citizenship beha…
2019
Internet monitoring is widely deployed in organizations as an attempt to regulate employees’ cyberloafing behaviour, which is defined as employees’ usage of Internet for non-work-related purposes. Although previous studies have examined the effectiveness of Internet monitoring in regulating employees’ cyberloafing, the impact of Internet monitoring on employees’ perceptions or behaviours other than cyberloafing has not been investigated. As a first step to address this research gap, we conduct a field experiment to study the impact of Internet monitoring on employees’ policy satisfaction, organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and work motivation. We found that Internet monitoring decre…
Meaningfulness in the work of language professionals
2022
This qualitative study explores the changes that a specific group of knowledge workers – language professionals in Finland – have undergone in their work and how they perceive the meaningfulness of their work as a result. The data presented in this article has been collected through group interviews and is part of a larger data set. To make sense of our data, we use thematic analysis and the framework of meaningful work presented by Rosso et al. For some of our research participants, the factors of meaningful work are present. For others, changes in work, such as platform work and outsourcing, have reduced autonomy and development possibilities. We conclude by discussing the implications of…
University as a workplace: searching for meaningful work
2018
Work in academia is changing, and research suggests that not all the changes are desirable. Higher education is developing in a direction heavily criticized, especially in relation to the concepts of neoliberal and academic capitalism. In this article, we explore meaningful work in a university context. Our focus lies on individual lecturers’ positive opportunities to make work meaningful and the university a better place to work for both students and faculty. We examine meaningful work as a relational phenomenon: how meaningfulness is constructed through features such as dialogue, expertise, interaction and sharing of ideas. Our empirical findings are based on analysis of qualitative and q…

Short-time non-work-related computing and creative performance
2014
It has been argued that non-work-related computing (NWRC) takes time away from work and, hence, decreases work productivity. On the other hand, it has also been claimed that short-time non-work-related computing (STNWRC) (a maximum of 15 minutes), has a positive impact on work productivity, including relief from boredom, higher creativity, and the underlying recovery mechanisms. To examine the impact of STNWRC on creative performance, we draw on Fredrickson's broaden-and-build theory, the concept of recovery with mental well-being and low cognitive effort. A 2 × 2 factorial experiment with 40 subjects was conducted. The results indicate that STNWRC has a positive effect on creative performa…
Työn mielekkyyttä ja hallintaa tukevat tekijät Otavan Opistossa
2014
Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, millaiset teknologia-avusteisen työajanseu-rantaan ja -suunnitteluun liittyvät tekijät voivat olla motivoimassa Otavan Opiston työntekijöitä työssään. Työajanseurantaa ja työnsuunnittelua tarkastellaan työtä tukevana palveluna, ei niinkään hallinnollisena pakkona, joksi se on totuttu miel-tämään. Tutkimus lähtee tarkastelemaan yleisiä motivoivan ilmapiirin piirteitä itsemääräytymisteorian kautta. Yleinen motivoiva ilmapiiri nähdään toiminnan perustana, ja sitä voidaan edesauttaa teknologian avulla. Tutkimus perehtyy nykyisen tietotyön luonteeseen ja sen käynnissä olevaan murrokseen, organisaatioiden johtamiseen, avustavaan teknologiaan, tarkastelee miten ih…
Työnantajabrändin merkitys sekä käytännön toteuttaminen ohjelmistoalalla
2017
Nykypäivänä älyllinen ja henkinen pääoma ovat nousseet yritysten tärkeimmäksi kilpailueduksi, mutta samalla henkilöstön vaihtuvuus on yksi tulevaisuuden suurimmista haasteista. Työntekijöiden uuden sukupolven odotukset työelämästä ovat muuttuneet ja yritysten tulee osata vastata näihin muuttuviin toiveisiin. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuvailla työnantajabrändin merkitystä sekä käytännön toteuttamista ohjelmistoalan yrityksissä. Tutkimus rajautuu tutkimaan työnantajabrändiä kolmen ohjelmistoalan yrityksen sisäisestä näkökulmasta. Tutkimus pyrkii antamaan vastauksen siihen, mitä osa-alueita työnantajabrändiin kuuluu yrityksen sisäisestä näkökulmasta, mitä käytännön toimenpiteitä yrity…
