Thank you everyone for the epic season. IGDA Finland is the biggest ever!
To be able to organize best game industry parties and presentations also in the future, IGDA Finland volunteers need to take it easy for a month or two.
We'll organize the legendary, traditional IGDA Finland picnic in July - August. More information to follow. IGDA Finland fall season starts in September. We have some great presentations and news for you! Just wait :)
The venue survey is still ongoing. How do you like Adams Club for Gatherings and Presentations? How can we improve? We will close the survey at the end of July.
WELCOME TO THE SURVEY OF JOB SATISFACTION IN THE FINNISH GAME INDUSTRY: I am Tuomas Roininen, Digital Culture (MA) student from University of Jyväskylä. I am doing a research for my MA thesis based on IGDA's Quality of Life White Paper (2004) but from the point of view of Finnish game companies. The purpose of this research is to carry out a similar survey as in Quality of Life White Paper (2004). Idea of this survey is to find material for my research about the job satisfaction in the Finnish game industry. This is valid way to find issues in the industry that need fixing to better in Finland. I hope that many as possible working in the Finnish game companies would respond to the survey, so that research should be comprehensive, reliable and useful for anyone who works in the field.
The themes of the survey are: - General Satisfaction - Job Stability - Work Load - Work Organization - Job Quality
I wish that you could answer as truthfully as you can, because that is the way to find the real pittfalls of the industry and also there can be done valid conclusions. All of the survey respondents will be treated as anonymously.
Survey takes about 10 - 15 mins and it includes multiple-choice questions.
