ohjauksessaan

Ohjauksessaan is a Finnish grammatical form that means “in/under the guidance of someone.” It is formed from the noun ohjaus (guidance, supervision) with the inessive suffix -ssa, combined with the third-person possessive suffix -nsä/-nsa, indicating that the guidance belongs to or is provided by another party. The result expresses that a person, group, or organization is being supervised or directed by someone else.

The form is used to specify the agent whose guidance or supervision is in effect. The possessor can be a person (hän) or a collective or institution (organization, project, authorities). It is commonly found in formal or administrative contexts where supervision or instruction is clearly attributed to a particular supervisor or body.

Examples of usage include: Koulutus toteutettiin opettajan ohjauksessaan. (The training was conducted under the teacher’s guidance.) Hankkeen edistymistä seurattiin virkamiesten ohjauksessaan. (The progress of the project was monitored under the government officials’ guidance.) Projektin toiminnasta vastasi johtajan ohjauksessaan toimiva tiimi. (The team operated under the director’s guidance.)

Notes: ohjauksessaan should be understood as specifying the guiding authority or supervisor in relation to the action described. It can refer to individuals as well as organizations, and it often appears in reports, descriptions of supervision, or historical accounts of oversight. Related terms include ohjaus (guidance) and ohjausryhmä (steering committee).
