Universities around the world are under increasing pressure to maintain high levels of graduation and to make study processes as efficient as possible, with teachers and students struggling to meet the expectations placed upon them as a result. The Psychology of Study Success in Universities asks whether it is possible to meet these demands at the same time as protecting the well-being of students. Drawing on an extensive and detailed analysis of study success in universities in Finland, the authors of this thought-provoking work argue that universities should be more concerned with students’ satisfaction and place greater weight on students’ perceptions of the elements that enhance or hinder their success.The book provides a multi-dimensional picture of the student-related and teaching-related factors that promote study success. Giving voice to graduate students, including those enrolled on a PhD, the authors look at the resources that students have at their disposal in order to establish what inspires and motivates the students, what slows them down, and what kinds of experiences students have of successful studies. Määttä and Uusiautti present a wealth of high-quality research showing that good teaching and successful study processes can be secured by immediate and caring interaction, flexible and student-centred teaching and supervision, and interdisciplinary collaboration between teachers. The Psychology of Study Success in Universities is essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of education and psychology, as well as for those interested in positive psychology, student well-being and pedagogical studies.

What is success at work and why is it important? How do top workers describe their success? How can work, community, leadership, family, or home and school promote success? Success at work is often associated with career-oriented individuals who sacrifice other areas of life to achieve highly in the workplace, but success can also be defined in other ways. It can consist of feelings of knowledge, competence and accomplishment, stemming from an inner drive to work well and create an expression of mastery. This book focuses on employees who have been rewarded for their skills and expertise. Based on the authors’ in-depth research into the phenomenon of success at work, this book provides a positive human-strength based approach to success and offers a fresh viewpoint to the modern, demanding and hectic work life. Drawing from the theory of positive psychology and outlining new theoretical ideas including work motivation, career orientation, work characteristics, and positive states of work, success is described as a combination of multiple elements which include other areas of life. The book is illustrated throughout with case studies from employees, and it will ignite thoughts about what success at work is and can be, and how to recognize factors which enhance or hinder success in varying contexts.Considering a variety of data, this book will appeal to researchers and academics from the fields of work and organisational psychology, positive psychology, career counselling and coaching.

"What is caring research and how to conduct it? This book defines the new concept of caring research as a combination of two perspectives. Caring research means research that aims to promote well-being. It is focused on a good quality of life, human strengths and active life, as well as characteristics and positive development in human beings that act as buffers against malaise and help coping with adversities in life. In addition, caring research cares for the researcher well-being. Caring research is conducted by people who share the passion and enthusiasm to influence positively and collaborate. Caring research includes the joy of working and researching together. Thus, caring research is manifested in the relationships between researchers, supervisors, students, and other experts, and their mutual open and respectful interaction. The Basics of Caring Research analyzes these two elements of caring research through several viewpoints that are to illustrate the manifold nature of caring research as positively-focused and positively-conducted research. The book also includes critical analysis of the current requirements and future challenges of caring research.The book serves as a text book in, for example, research studies in psychology and educational and behavioral sciences. Researchers and supervisors find it a useful tool to support their supervision of various academic theses.

Menestys työssä on kiehtova ja monitasoinen ilmiö – se on tuottavuutta ja tuloksia, mutta myös onnistumisia, merkityksellisyyden tunnetta ja tekemisen meininkiä. Tässä tutkimuksessa hahmotellaan menestymistä paitsi yrityksen myös työntekijöiden henkilökohtaisena menestymisenä positiiviseen psykologiaan nojautuen. Tuloksina esitellään niin johtajien ja esimiesten kuin työntekijöiden näkemyksiä menestyksestä ja sen edellytyksistä erityisesti työelämän muutosten keskellä. Lisäksi pohditaan työntekijöiden hyvinvoinnin ja menestyksen välistä yhteyttä.Dosentti Satu Uusiautti (KT) on positiivisen psykologian asiantuntija Lapin yliopistosta. Hän on tutkinut menestymisen ilmiötä ja myönteistä kehitystä yli kymmenen vuoden ajan.

Siitä on hyötyä myös, kun pohdimme uutta suuntaa elämällemme.Tämä teos auttaa tunnistamaan omia vahvuuksia sekä pohtimaan menestyksen edistäjiä itseä ja muita arvostaen. Siinä auttavat oma ajattelu, uskallus ja rohkeus katsoa peiliin. Todellinen menestys on itsetuntemusta ja sisäistä kokemusta elämän mielekkyydestä.Kun kehitämme vahvuuksiamme, voimme paremmin.

Indigenous languages are endangered and questions of revitalization are topical in today's climate. This book deals with adult education and the topic of adults reclaiming their ancestral language. The themes addressed here cover indigeneity, and identification with, and membership in, indigenous groups on an individual level. The volume contemplates the preconditions of belonging to an indigenous people and the definitions of indigeneity. It also contains discussions of indigenous research, and provides new perspectives on methods suitable for recording indigenous people's voices and experiences. The text uses the Sámi people in Finland as the example, focusing on political identity and indigenous Sámi status.
