  • Palvelevan johtajuuden ja työelämän uusien haasteiden yhteys työntekijöiden työriippuvuuteen ja pystyvyyden tunteeseen 
    Ryhänen, Eeva-Maria (2018)
    Aims. This study investigated to what extent servant leadership and new job demands are associated with employees’ workaholism and work-related self-efficacy. The job demands and resources (JD-R) model (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007) was used as the theoretical framework of the study. The job demands included challenges related to multiple venues of work, work time extending to free time, and challenges related to multiculturalism at the work place. Servant leadership was investigated as a job resource. Previously it has been found that servant leadership is positively associated with well-being in the workplace. However, there have been contradictory results about the impacts of new job demands. Following the JD-R model, we hypothesized that servant leadership is positively associated with self-efficacy and new job demands are positively associated with workaholism. Methods. This study is a part of an occupational health study, in which employees (N = 1415) from three big organizations participated. The participants filled in a questionnaire concerning workaholism, work-related self-efficacy, and job demands and resources. The data was analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis. Results and conclusions. The results showed that work time extending to free-time, challenges relate to multiculturality, and servant leadership were positively associated with workaholism, but multiple venues of work did not predict workaholism. Servant leadership was positively, and challenges of multiculturality were negatively associated with work-related self-efficacy. Servant leadership also buffered against the negative impact of multiculturality challenges on self-efficacy. As a conclusion, the servant leadership appears to be a good social resource that can be useful for organizations. In addition, there should be open conversations in organizations about the new job demands, in order to prevent workaholism and promote work-related self-efficacy.
  • Palvelevan johtamisen, yhteisöllisyyden ja työriippuvuuden yhteys työuupumukseen ja työstä palautumiseen 
    Muilu, Kaisa (2019)
    Aims. It is important to study factors to manage work-related stress to get more tools to support sustainable ways of doing work and flourishing work environments. The purpose of this study was to examine what extent servant leadership, sense of community and workaholism are associated with burnout and recovery from work. Job Demands-Resources Model (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007) and Conservation of Resources Theory (Hobfoll, 2001) were used as a theoretical framework of the study. In this study servant leadership and sense of community were considered as resources and workaholism as a work-related demand. Previous studies have shown that servant leadership and sense of community are negatively associated with burnout, whereas no previous research exist focusing on the associations between servant leadership, sense of community and recovery. According to previous studies, workaholism is positively associated with burnout and negatively associated with recovery. In this study, following the JD-R model, it was hypothesized that servant leadership and sense of community are negatively associated with burnout and positively associated with recovery. In addition, it was also hypothesized that workaholism is associated positively with burnout and negatively with recovery. Methods. This study is a part of an occupational health study, in which three large organizations (N = 1415) were examined by using an e-mail questionnaire. The participants answered questions concerning burnout, recovery, servant leadership, community and workaholism. The data was analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis. Results and conclusions. The results showed that servant leadership and sense of community were negatively associated with burnout and positively associated with recovery. Workaholism was positively associated with burnout and negatively with recovery. As a conclusion, servant leadership and sense of community can serve as important social resources against burnout and support recovery from work. Thus, promoting servant leadership and employees’ sense of community might serve as advantages for organizations. In addition, it would be important to actively recognize workaholism to reduce its threat for employees’ well-being.
