Lazy boy

I haven't been writing here for ages now, probably because I have forgotten and 'cause I'm lazy. I finished my Master's Thesis and I've been working. In the evenings I have to take care of my two kids and my kind and beautiful wife so I do not have too much extra time for blogging.

Anyway, I try to keep on blogging because it is fun although no-one actually reads this blog.

Ta-taa!

Työhyvinvoinnista pihistellään - well-being at work is an issue

Helsingin Sanomat kirjoitti, että työhyvinvointiin sijoitetaan vuodessa vain kaksi miljardia euroa rahaa. On kyllä pirullisen vähän! Minä voisin laskuttaa ihan pikkuisen lisää työhyvinvoinnin puolesta, ihan muutama prosentti kokonaispotista vuodessa riittää...

Well-being at work is still an issue because only 2 billion euros is being used annually in projects which create well-being at work (in Finland, I mean). Hopefully I can create something useful for well-being industry so that I could take a few per cents of that 2 billion to myself. I am not greedy, you know!

Positive psychology

Positive thinking makes you success. I think we all have heard that phrase before but at least here in Finland it is nearly a crime to laugh when problems arise. Here it is more socially acceptable to worry and weep 'til eternity than smile and laugh at problems.

Of course it may sound weird when someone's giggling after getting sacked from work, but reason for that sort of behaviour in some cases might be Positive psychology. Positive psychology (basically positive thinking) makes one more successful. Plus: everyone around a person who is thinking and acting positively, get their part of his/her positive flow, which makes for example night shelters and YMCA-buildings quite flourishing millieus. Ok, consept of positive psychology is a bit more complex than I stated here, so take a peek behind the link I attached and have your say on the matter.

Mainos

Kumma juttu. Tekee mieli hullutella.

FTC has published Final Guides Governing Endorsements, Testimonials

FTC published their new rules. From now on bloggers must say if they had any presents from companys whose products they possibly have endorsed. Ok, I think that is good. But could someone say how the hell I could get presents and sponsorship from large and friendly companies? BMW, Ferrari, Red Bull, Apple and Visa – please get in touch! I will happily brag to everyone when some of you becomes my sugardaddy! Please?

My Räikkönen to Red Bull -prediction seems correct one.

Finnish newspapers announced that Kimi Räikkönen has been seen necotiating with Helmut Marko from Red Bull Formula One team. My prediction seems correct, eh?

Well-being @ work

I have to streghten my thesis, or to be more exact – to define the phenomenon of well-being in organizational context. This follows that i have to redefine my research question; 1. How does socially construated well-being show up in everyday life in organizational talk and 2. What are organization culture's basic assumptions which cause well-being in this organization? Actually number 2 is number 1 in my thesis.

I found a great doctoral thesis from Pauliina Marjala (in Finnish, abstract in English) which helps me to the next level in my work. It is dumb that I have not taken care of this point earlier although I knew this might be a problem.
