(2022)Objectives. The purpose of the dissertation was to study the basic psychological needs and positive mental health of employees in a Finnish financial sector organization. The research task was to examine the current state of the basic psychological needs of the theory of authenticity, benevolence and self-determination among the employees of the target organization and their connection to the perceived positive mental health. The study examined the construction of a new model and its relationship to positive mental health using linear regression analysis. Methods. For the study, I constructed a research questionnaire utilizing several validated measures of positive mental health, authenticity, benevolence, and SDT theory’s basic psychological needs. The questionnaire was administered to the employees of the target group by e-mail. Participation was voluntary and 395 responses were received. Correlation, cluster analysis, and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The study involved using linear regression analysis for modelling relations between basic psychological needs of self-determination theory across authenticity, benevolence and self-determination, and examining its relationship to positive mental health. Results and conclusions. Satisfaction with the basic psychological needs of the employees of the target organization was quite strong. On the other hand, the perceived positive mental health of the employees was somewhat lower than the average of the Finnish population in general. The study revealed that the basic psychological needs of self-determination theory, benevolence, and authenticity are associated with perceived positive mental health. The model called as a Calling and model of Calling obtained in the study explained a total of 49% of the variation in positive mental health. The results show that high satisfaction with the basic psychological needs of workers in the financial sector predicts a higher perceived positive mental health.

(2020)The purpose of the thesis was to explore the opinions about authenticity in the attire of Living Historists that is to say, People, who have Historical Reenactment as a hobby. Living history is a popular hobby, and brings a lot of knowledge about textile, wood, and metal craft, as the attire often are home-made. Due to this, an important part of the research consisted of what craft techniques are being used, and what kind of research goes into making a “kit” for reenacting. Earlier research about re-enacting attire, in particular is rather scarce, so new perspectives were a goal at the start. The gathering of material was done by questionnaire, spread in suitable groups on Facebook during the spring of 2018. There were 182 people answering, of different ages and re-enacting background. The questionnaire consisted of both qualitative and quantitative questions, so the analysis was done with Mixed-Method, combining the data from both groups only at the last minute. Living history was found to be a multiform hobby, where authenticity has its own place. It does not, however, define the scene, but provides opportunity for personal or group-wide development within the re-enactment scene. Historical handicrafts are a large part of the hobby and could also be considered their own scene within the whole of living history.
