Abstract

Universities and universities of applied sciences form the higher education sector in Finland. New HE communities in which both sectors cooperate were formed in the latest reform. Our interest is in community feeling and connectedness taking place inside four such new organisations. The research question is: which are the promoters of and obstacles to communality in merged higher education institutions in Finland from the university of applied sciences staff´s point of view? The data is gathered from 42 key persons. The analysis is done in a qualitative way. As promoters, we found spaces, dignity, shared goals, and action. The obstacles were haste, lack of trust, unfamiliarity, and use of spaces. Spaces seem to play a big role: they serve as promoters and obstacles. They can serve as a source for recognition and one´s meaningful share but also as a place to get to know each other and promote action towards goals. And vice versa. Anyway, feeling connectedness is an important source for creating social identity.

从工作人员的角度看合并机构中社区发展的推动者和障碍

大学和应用科学大学构成了芬兰的高等教育部门。在最近的改革中，形成了两个部门合作的新的高等教育社区。我们的兴趣在于四个这样的新组织内部的社区感觉和联系。研究的问题是:从芬兰应用科学大学员工的角度来看，哪些是芬兰合并高等教育机构社区化的推动者和障碍?数据来自42个关键人物。分析是定性的。作为推动者，我们找到了空间、尊严、共同的目标和行动。障碍是匆忙、缺乏信任、不熟悉和空间的使用。空间似乎扮演着重要的角色:它们既是推动者，也是障碍。它们可以作为一种认可和有意义的分享的来源，也可以作为一个相互了解和促进实现目标的行动的地方。反之亦然。无论如何，感觉联系是创造社会身份的重要来源。</ < >& lt; / p> & lt; p> & lt; strong>文章可视化:< < <img src="/-counters-/soc/0049/a.p php" alt="Hit counter" />
