“…us, today's enterprise management (EMA) involves more than just business experience and management concepts but also realtime transaction data and online resources. At the same time, EMA [7] must be innovated by integrating various CNT into the big data ecosystem (BDE) to survive and prosper with a solid technical foundation in international competition [8]. Enterprise competition has a long history and exists throughout an entire enterprise life cycle with a legal appearance.…”

The aim of this study is to help financial enterprises establish a solid foundation in a big data ecosystem (BDE) and fully play their competitive edges in the fierce business competition. This paper innovatively conducts research studies on the reform of enterprise financial management. First, it expounds on the relevant concepts of big data technology (BDT) alongside financial management. Afterward, the impact of BDT on enterprise financial management is examined. Consequently, a financial enterprise-oriented economic management model is proposed by integrating BDT, enterprise economic management (EEM), and enterprise performance evaluation methods. Further, an experiment is designed to verify the proposed model on estimating the annual enterprise operating income (OI) and human resource (HR) structure. The research findings show that the predicted and actual OI error is within 6%. The predicted enterprise personnel deployment only deviates slightly from actual personnel deployment. Thus, the proposed economic management model can accurately predict OI and cost. It provides a reliable reference for enterprise innovation management, optimizing recruitment conditions, sales strategy, and development strategy. Lastly, the research deficiencies are pointed out alongside corresponding suggestions.

“…In our sample these figures are 69% and 48 years, respectively, so it represents rather well the demographics of the target population. The Union of Journalists in Finland represents a heterogeneous group of media work professionals, who can be taken as good examples of knowledge workers working in a high-speed, high-pressure, and highly digitalized working environment (Malmelin and Villi, 2017;Westlund et al, 2020). We therefore believe that the present findings can be generalized to similar professions and industries in other countries.…”

“…Thus, by focusing on media workers, it is possible to narrow the approach to such a subset of knowledge workers who work in a context where digital technology, both in the work practices and the business environment at large, has made a disruptive impact (Achtenhagen and Raviola, 2009;Westlund et al, 2020). Media workers might well be at risk for stressors detrimental to cognitive performance (e.g., Vuori et al, 2019) as a consequence of the disruption of work practices by new communication technologies, increased demands for productivity, and the faster tempo of work.…”

Intensified Job Demands and Cognitive Stress Symptoms: The Moderator Role of Individual Characteristics

et al. 2021

Intensified job demands (IJDs) originate in the general accelerated pace of society and ever-changing working conditions, which subject workers to increasing workloads and deadlines, constant planning and decision-making about one’s job and career, and the continual learning of new professional knowledge and skills. This study investigated how individual characteristics, namely negative and positive affectivity related to competence demands, and multitasking preference moderate the association between IJDs and cognitive stress symptoms among media workers (n = 833; 69% female, mean age 48 years). The results show that although IJDs were associated with higher cognitive stress symptoms at work, that is, difficulties in concentration, thinking clearly, decision-making, and memory, competence demands-related negative affectivity explained the most variance in cognitive stress symptoms. In addition, IJDs were more strongly associated with cognitive stress symptoms at work in individuals with high competence demand-related negative affectivity, and low multitasking preference (moderation effects). Altogether, the present findings suggest that HR practices or workplace interventions to ease employees’ negative affectivity from increasing competence demands at work could usefully support employees’ effective cognitive functioning when confronted with IJDs.

“…A small number of innovations, mostly at digital-only outlets, related to automating processes, such as fact-checking and the handling of reader verification requests, and organizational improvements, such as multidisciplinary teams integrated in the design of new products and the implementation of agile project development methodologies. In line with recent research (Westlund, Krumsvik, and Lewis 2021), news work routines demanded coordination among a diverse set of journalists and technologists to accomplish organizational goals; multidisciplinary teams worked together to respond to the demands during a crisis (Konow-Lund, Hågvar, and Olsson 2019).…”

Journalism as Usual? Managing Disruption in Virtual Newsrooms during the COVID-19 Crisis

This study focuses on managerial responses to disruption and, specifically, how news executives implemented journalistic practices and processes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the lens of Harvey's (2006) theorization of space, the concept of Collaborative Virtual Environments, and the model of communities of practice, I explore management's roles in virtual newsrooms. The method is based on semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 17 news managers in Spain. The findings presented here underline managerial performance in virtual newsrooms considered as communities of practice. Virtual spaces reconfigured relationships among colleagues and increased collaboration, shaping news practices and communication protocols. Management implemented strategies to control the negotiation of meaning, the building of trust and cooperation, and the power dynamics within their professional communities. Journalistic production during the COVID-19 pandemic also raised problematic issues such as work overload, psychological distress, and job insecurity.
