Social scientists’ procedural knowledge, metacognition, and the correspondence of these to the requirements of job advertisements

The study examines the alignment between university students’ reported skills, particularly focusing on procedural knowledge and metacognition, and the skill requirements outlined in job advertisements within the field of social sciences. Data were gathered from career portfolios of 261 social science students, compiled during the 2020-21 academic year, and 179 job advertisements sourced from the Finnish TE Office webpages, collected between 2021 and 2022. The research draws upon a qualitative content analysis of these documents. The results reveal that procedural knowledge and metacognition constitute a category rarely mentioned in the job advertisements. Employers prefer a different type of procedural knowledge from what is discerned in the portfolios. Metacognition skills are highly valued in both the advertisements and portfolios, but collective regulative knowledge is more pronounced in the portfolios.

Altruism as a framework for public leadership

This article examines altruism as a framework for public leadership. It also aims to analyse the meanings that public leaders attach to altruism in the context of meaningful public leadership. The empirical data consists of interviews with eighteen public leaders. The data has been analysed using antagonistic discourse analysis. Based on the research, it seems that altruism can be considered as a dominant way of thinking and approach in public leadership. Leaders described altruism and its meanings through 57 discourses. The discursive field lacked discourses that described altruism as part of good governance or ethics in public service. Contrasting discourses were the potential for altruism in the private and public sectors and the different motivational bases for altruism.
