“When the house is on fire, it is difficult to have a conversation” – Case study on the emergence of information resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic

Resilience refers to the ability of people, organizations, or societies to cope with disturbances or crises. This research focuses on information resilience as a specific information-related form of resilience, and on the different ways it has emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Finnish context. The data consist of articles on pandemic governance. The data were analyzed using abductive content analysis. The results indicate that systemic information resilience has emerged more strongly than agent-level information resilience which reinforces the importance of systemic understanding considering both resilience and preparedness. The current research also finds that information resilience is not a linear process but a circulating and emerging phenomenon that requires continuous development before, during and after crises.

Perspectives on patient safety and combining them in management work – an interview study

Patient safety in healthcare has traditionally been promoted through technical solutions and standard guidance. This kind of perspective that focuses solely on factors that weaken safety has not produced the desired result. In parallel, another approach to patient safety has emerged, one which raises the factors that maintain safety and the role of people in enhancing it. This article explores these two perspectives on patient safety in the framework of paradoxes and ambidexterity. The research reveals that paradoxes occur in situations where patient safety is strengthened with actions related to a different safety perspective. Those paradoxes can be confronted with leadership that recognizes both safety perspectives and their importance in enhancing patient safety. The research reveals that the importance of formal and informal leadership should be examined more closely in the future.

Successful Participatory Budgeting – What, How and for Whom?
This article discusses participatory budgeting (PB), and especially the ways it can be deemed successful. Despite PB’s noteworthy global diffusion, the ways to assess its successes have not evolved at the same pace. Specific basic requirements have been set out for PB, as well as ways of measuring different aspects of PB, but no deeper knowledge on the evaluation for successful PB has been developed. In this paper we approach this matter via a case-study that we use to identify the different success-factors of PB. This mixed-methods study affirms previous studies results on the meaningfulness of early goal setting in PB, and also the diverse ways in which PB can be viewed as a success or failure.

Fixed-term employments among academic personnel at Finnish universities
This study focuses on fixed-term employments in Finnish universities. The relative amount of fixed-term employments in different career phases, universities and fields are described. The analyses reveal that the fixed-term employments are considerably more common in universities than in other areas of the labor market. While 71,7% of the Finnish scholars are in fixed-term employments, the equivalent number in the Finnish labor market in total is 14,9%. The role and nature of fixed-term employments in the Finnish academia is further discussed and it is suggested that the transition from the previous to the new career model divides the fixed-term employees into more fortunate and less fortunate ones. The tenure-track assistant and associate professors seem to be favored by of the new career system while the rest of the fixed- term employees seem less fortunate.

Leadership and meaningful work: The possibilities and challenges of the Vocational Meaning and Fulfillment Survey

In this study we examined how leaders perceive meaningful work and if the new Vocational Meaning and Fulfillment Survey (VMFS) could be used as a leadership tool in organizations. The data were collected through 22 semistructured thematic interviews and analyzed with a phenomenographic approach. Three categories of perspectives on meaningful work were found: individual, organizational and holistic. The VMFS was perceived as a useful and practical tool by most of the leaders. It could be used at individual, team, and organizational levels to measure the experience of meaningful
work and to decide where to focus efforts to foster such work. When introducing VMFS into organizations, attention should be paid to proper user training and ensuring the engagement of the management and supervisors.
