(2018)Objectives. In this thesis, I will look at the resources of well-being at work of trade employees in terms of customer service, organization, supervisor ship, teamwork and individual aspects of the individual. In addition, I find employees' own resources to maintain or increase resources to support well-being at work. Methods. The subject of the thesis is the theme interview of eight employees of the HOK Elanto Alepa chain. I used the data analysis method of material output that is inductive content analysis. My analysis consisted three stages: reduction, grouping and abstraction. Results and conclusions. This study examined that empoyees in Alepa have a lot of resources at all levels. In terms of quantity, the most interviewed named the resources of the client and team level. The results clearly focused on social interaction and interaction resources, such as good time with customers and co-workers. Organizational-level resources were felt as the benefits from the organization and the care of the employee. The flexibility of the supervisor's level of resources, the sympathy of the supervisor, and thanks and the recollection of employees, increased. Individual-level resources were divided into the resources of leisure and work. The free time resources were largely the same, which people generally name themselves as important things. For example, family, friends and hobbies were considered as a resource. The work resources varied individually. The varying personality traits and individual strengths influenced the type of work that the interviewees named. For example, work resources, breaks, and ease-of-work were experienced as work resources. The research also raised the interviewees' own means and actions to improve well-being at work. These included, for example, job tuning and avoidance of negative mood.

(2017)This study deals with 24-hour childcare as a form of early childhood education. In this research I aim for a deeper understanding of phenomena related to round-the-clock childcare from the perspective of positive psychology. My purpose is to study how 24-hour childcare as a form of day care is actualized in the work of kindergarten teachers, and how parents of children in round-the-clock care value this form of childcare in their day-to-day family life. The objective is to bring up positive aspects of 24-hour childcare from the perspectives of child development and smooth family routines. The theoretical framework of my research consists of earlier studies in scheduled work and 24-hour childcare, as well as published literature on this topic. The research data consists of interviews with four kindergarten teachers working in a 24-hour childcare unit, two parents of children in 24-hour care, and four children in 24-hour care. The interviews were conducted in January 2015 in three 24-hour childcare centres in Helsinki. Additional data was collected in May 2015. The method of data collection was a half-structured thematic interview. The data was analysed using principles of theory-based content analysis. The results of this Master's thesis indicate that there are assets to 24-hour childcare, and those have a significant impact on the wellbeing of children and their families. The most important benefit was a sense of community, which in turn increased feelings of security in both children and adults. This communality offered support and increased job satisfaction among kindergarten teachers as well. My research results concur with earlier studies, according to which the successful combination of work and private life impacts the individual's general wellbeing and work satisfaction.
