Description of the dataset

Description: The AHJO project used artistic qualitative techniques to investigate the factors that influence well- and ill-being among university staff members at a major Finnish university. The primary goal of the research was to identify factors that affect the well- and ill-being of university staff, exploring the different experiences of teaching, research, and expert- and-professional (often called "other") staff with an aim to finding measures that can be taken to promote communal well-being in university workplaces. Please see the AHJO parent project entry for more information on the overall research project's methods and types of data collected.

In this publication we are sharing detailed information about the methods we used to conduct the study. Included in this publication are freely reusable version of:

- Recruitment materials - dual-language (Finnish and English) emails that were sent to randomly selected staff members; the e-mails informed staff members about the project and the possible ways to participate in it.

- Prompts - dual-language (Finnish and English) text that was sent to participants explaining how the workshops and interviews would function. The prompts for the interviews were especially important for the successful implementation of our co-structured interview concept.

- Interview guide - the English-language interview guide created to facilitate discussion during the co-structured interviews.
