Gender Differences and Readiness Towards Knowledge Sharing among Remote Working IT Sector Employees
Authors: Krzyżowska Ewelina
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic exerted a significant impact on various spheres of the functioning of an individual, including the area of professional functioning. One of these changes was the spread of remote working, which in turn led to the greater interest in this form of work and the search for effective solutions that support labour efficiency in these particular conditions. An important problem of remote working that is associated with the restriction of face to face communication, is the sharing of knowledge amongst the employees. The aim of the paper was to analyse the differences in the readiness to share knowledge in conditions of remote working in the IT sector between women and men depending on the chosen demographic factors and factors relating to work. The study included 112 employees from the IT industry who worked remotely at the moment of conducting the research. A self-designed survey was availed of in the research which encompassed the following: demographic data (sex type and age of those analysed, being in a relationship, number of children), variables associated with work (position held in the firm, job seniority, number of hours of remote work), while also questions relating to sharing knowledge with co-workers. In the analysed group of employees of the IT sector working remotely, a greater readiness to share knowledge was noted amongst men as compared to women. Furthermore, as the effect of intragroup comparisons, the following was noted: older women were more willing to share knowledge than younger women, raising three or more children, while also more than women who do not have children, whereas women in relationships were more willing to share knowledge than single women. In turn, in the group of men the differences were only evident in the sphere of job seniority. Longer job seniority turned out to be favourable towards the readiness to share knowledge. The research findings significantly broaden knowledge in the sphere of the individual factors influencing the effective organization of the process of knowledge management, while particularly knowledge sharing in conditions of remote working. This knowledge may be particularly useful for managers of the IT sector.

Value orientations are fundamental in the development of young people as individuals. Values ​​play a special role in shaping the behavior and attitudes of young people, have a significant impact on their goals and beliefs. The main focus of the study is the values and social issues of students at the Kazakh National Women’s Teacher Training University. The University was established on August 15, 1944. In this research, we particularly define future goals of the students at Women’s Teacher Training University, their opinion about the University and the learning process. The main purpose of this study is to assess the attitudes of students towards obtaining a mixed (joint) education. Mixed education, also known as blended learning, co-education (abbreviated as co-ed or coed), is an education in which male and female students study/learn together. The study involved 5 005 female students of all faculties at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels, as well as college students (University has its college) at Kazakh National Women’s Teacher Training University. Survey dates: October 15, 2021 - November 15, 2021. In the course of the study, it was found that the value orientations of students are focused, first of all, on the priorities in the field of education, that is, the orientation towards obtaining a unique education in a prestigious university, the preference for free education; location of the university, favorable socio-cultural environment, the level of information and technical support of the educational process. In addition, expectations for the future are focused on getting a prestigious, interesting, high-paying job that matches individual abilities and opportunities. The results of the study obtained during the survey can be used to analyze the attitude of female students towards mixed education; to study the quality of the provision of university services; studying students' satisfaction with the educational process; studying the difficulties faced by students in the learning process; and to determine what opportunities provided by the university are used by the student for personal development and activity.
Knowledge Visualization for Learning in Higher Education Contexts: Systemizing the Field
Authors: Spletter Christian , Eppler Martin
Published: September 2023

In contexts of higher learning, students must be supported effectively in developing their knowledge, skills, and competencies. Thus, faculty members (incl. lecturers and administrators) are faced with the management task to organize and align innovative teaching and learning formats. As we know from research, the use of knowledge visualization is both a facilitating tool for cognitive processing and learning itself, and for strategic decision-making processes within organizations. However, the literature on the types of (IT-enabled) knowledge visualization for learning in higher education contexts is highly fragmented and dispersed and includes different branches for researchers and practitioners. This makes it difficult to achieve an overview and find systematic and consistent visual approaches along students’ learning paths. By highlighting the role of knowledge visualization to support organizing innovative teaching and learning, we provide a systematic, structured overview of such approaches. The goal of this paper is thus to structure the field of knowledge visualization for lifelong and university-based learning based on seminal papers. For this purpose, we present a segmentation approach with six areas to analyse the role of knowledge visualization for learning in higher education contexts, namely: Visualizing Learning Offers (e.g., Curriculum Visualization Tools), Visual Learning Environments (e.g., Metaverse), Learning Content Visualization (e.g., Visual Variation Patterns), Visual Techniques for Learning (e.g., Concept Mapping), Visual Learning Analytics (e.g., Learner Dashboards), and Visualizing Learning Outcomes (e.g., Digital Course Badges). Based on systemizing key concepts, our paper concludes with promising future research avenues for each of the six areas, as well as for the domain of knowledge visualization for higher learning itself. We conclude with specific ideas how the area of visualizing learning offers can act as a spearhead for empirical research (and practice transfer) in the knowledge visualization domain. This should help practitioners and researchers from higher education contexts who consider lifelong learning as knowledge management task.
Linking Institutional Voids with Blind Spots Through Counter-Knowledge in the Spanish National Healthcare System
Authors: Cegarra Navarro Juan Gabriel , Martínez-Martínez Aurora , El Ebrashi Raghda , Wensley Anthony
Published: September 2023

The current study suggests the presence of counter-knowledge to spread misperceptions or misunderstandings arising from the existence of institutional voids. Blind spots may be partly caused by such counter-knowledge that triggers the knowledge gaps of the actors in the face of the new information and knowledge society. Find or instance, when we talk about blind spots in the Spanish National Healthcare System (SNHS), we refer to the presence of incorrect stereotypes among the different actors, the feminisation of the profession even though the elderly population they serve continues to associate the figure of the doctor with the masculine role, the lack of awareness about the importance of data protection or cyberattacks. This study suggests that counter-knowledge is likely to result in the lack of clear vision after suffering from blind spots. Such counter-knowledge hinders people from things that most of us take for granted, which creates difficulties for engagement among multifaceted stakeholders with diverse expertise and specialities to overcome blind spots.
Instrumental and Integrative Ethics in the Context of a Knowledge Management Policy
Authors: Bornemann Manfred
Published: September 2023

Governance structures and Knowledge Management Systems standards such as ISO 30401 and ISO 9001 ask for policies for knowledge management but leave open, how such a policy might be detailed. Depending on the preferences of owners, management or more extensive stakeholder groups, the assumptions about what is good and can therefore be considered as ethical, vary substantially. In the German literature, two authors represent two extremes of a wide spectrum of business ethics: Peter Ulrich and his Integrative Economic Ethics (Ulrich, 2007), positioning ethical behavior above all other corporate objectives on the one (politically left) side and Karl Homann with the Instrumental Ethic (Homann, 1999) and the general idea to maximize shareholder value on the other (politically right) side. Both European continental authors are distinct from the Anglo-American tradition of “business ethics” represented by Solomon (1994), Donaldson and Dunfee (1999) or Freemann (1984), who are, in general, less focused on principles, but suggest procedures that avoid risks for organizations (or their top managers) of being framed as unethical.

Knowledge as an intangible asset and different to tangibles such as money, goods, or infrastructure, is usually not controlled by investors, but by employees of an organization and thus affects problems of agency (Jensen, 1976) or stewardship (Donaldson, 1982) in corporate governance. Questions of ownership, modes of sharing and transferring knowledge to development of new knowledge and strategies of utilizing knowledge to create value need to be answered in a way to attract the best knowledge professionals. The answers might help formulate a formally consistent policy for knowledge management that considers either position – or come up with a more balanced approach, which could be implemented with established governance structures or ethic management systems (Wieland, 2014).

This paper discusses two qualitative positions of Homann and Ulrich in the context of knowledge management systems and knowledge as a corporate resource with the ambition to suggest recommendations to formulate a knowledge management policy that delivers on the formal requirements of ISO 30401.
Awareness Level of Information Security Managers in Small Enterprises in Poland
Authors: Kobis Paweł , Chmielarz Grzegorz
Published: September 2023

The security of information assets largely depends on the real level of knowledge of those managing the information system. Particularly important is the knowledge acquired on an ongoing basis through reading and analysing: new reports published by specialised intelligence services worldwide, thematic portals, industry and scientific publications. Today's rapid pace of development of information, communication systems means that knowledge of digital information security acquired a year or more ago becomes partly outdated. Although there are specific, unchangeable canons of behaviour, proceedings in the processes of information protection - they are only a foundation for building an effective system of protecting intangible resources. Special attention should be paid to the fact that information protection is not an individual activity - it is a process running parallel to all processes operating in enterprises. The global pandemic situation has had an irreversible impact on the perception of information asset security. The situation in which most business entities were forced to work remotely necessitated a new approach to information security among its managers. The relatively stable environment of business entities until the pandemic suddenly forced the use of new techniques and technologies enabling work from private, home networks. Have such conditions changed the attitudes of security managers to the need for continuous education, to expand their knowledge in this area? Did those responsible for the security of intangible assets gain more experience with information security during the pandemic? The aim of this article is to present research on the knowledge and awareness of information security managers conducted before the pandemic in 2018 and 2019 among small businesses in Poland on the real perceptions of those responsible for information security and to compare them with the same research conducted in 2022 after the pandemic.

Authors: Saniuk Sebastian , Grabowska Sandra
Published: September 2023

The dehumanisation of the industry due to focusing only on the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies has resulted in numerous concerns among workers, governments and societies regarding new working conditions and the role of humans in industry and the economy. Hence, the European Commission proposed the new concept of Industry 5.0. Industry 5.0 complements and extends the characteristic features of Industry 4.0. It highlights aspects that will be decisive factors in industry placement in future European society. Numerous scientific studies indicate the need to take into account, in the assumptions of the future industry's development, the crucial role of human beings. The humanisation of the technological Industry 4.0 environment was one of the first factors in the evolution of Industry 4.0 towards the Industry 5.0 concept. The new approach in the fourth industrial revolution focuses on the interaction between humans and intelligent machines. The fifth industrial revolution will continue the push for more advanced human-machine interfaces using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. It will mean better integration, enabling faster, better automation combined with the power of human brains, but it will also mean changing the demands placed on managers and engineers. Hence, the article aims to identify the critical knowledge and skills of engineers responsible for implementing the Industry 5.0 concept. The presented achievements and results in the article are from surveys conducted among experts representing companies with experience in implementing Industry 4.0 technologies and with a high level of knowledge and engineering and managerial competencies. The research results presented in the paper are dedicated to researchers and practitioners implementing the Industry 5.0 concept in smart organisations (smart factories).
Knowledge management in crisis conditions and financial results of enterprises
Authors: Wiktoria Trzepizur
Published: September 2023

The article addresses the considerations concerning key issues affecting the proper functioning of enterprises. The global situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic in recent years has contributed to significant changes in terms of management. In this publication, the attention is drawn to a necessary element of the functioning of enterprises, i.e., knowledge management. Actions taken in the field of implementing innovation, implementing IT systems as well as implementing the concepts of sustainable development translate into proper knowledge management in enterprises. The above issues are defined and constantly deepened in literature. However, there are few studies that combine this topic and analyze interrelationships. The review of literature indicates the significance of these issues and confirms the need for further research in this area. In this publication, the issue of innovation is addressed, as a “driving wheel” of enterprises operating in the market environment. The link between the implementation of innovation in enterprises and the development of IT systems, taking into account the idea of sustainable development, is also analyzed. The considerations are deepened by the relations between knowledge management and innovation, IT systems and sustainable development. The article includes the empirical part in which two enterprises from Poland, operating primarily on the domestic market, are subject to the analysis. In the article, a case study has been applied using economic analysis based on two selected enterprises. The objective of the article has been to learn about the components of knowledge management used in crisis conditions. It should be noted that the pandemic period was a crisis situation for enterprises and the conducted research has showed what actions in terms of knowledge management were taken by enterprises to survive on the market. The conducted analyses have proved that enterprises, despite the same industry, took different actions, which translated to the achieved financial results. The functioning of modern enterprises in crisis conditions, taking into account the issues discussed in the article, is the key to their success. Therefore, the topic of the article is up-to-date and relevant.
Advancing the Intellectual Capital Theory- Some Ways Forward
Authors: Viedma Marti Jose Maria , Cabrita Maria do Rosario
Published: September 2023

The development of intellectual capital theory has been guided by the ideas and thoughts of a handful of influential practitioners, including Sveiby (1997), Kaplan (Kaplan and Norton, 1992), and Edvinsson (Edvinson and Malone, 1997). These pioneers established the basis of the “intellectual capital standard theory”. More recently, other authors have advanced some contributions integrating an ecosystem approach in line with sustainability concerns. The present paper discusses the assumptions and principles that support the standard theory (the prevailing paradigm). The paper then introduces other models and methodologies as alternatives to the standard theory—such as the “Value Explorer” (Andriessen and Tissen, 2000) and the “Intellectual Capital Benchmarking System (ICBS)” (Viedma and Cabrita, 2012)—and examines the foundations and principles on which the alternative new theory (the ‘new paradigm’) is based. Finally, the paper attempts to synthesize both theoretical approaches with other new views and contributions and rises discussion avenues on the topic.
Role of a Manager in Managing Information in the Remote Work of Generation Z Employees
Authors: Robak Elżbieta
Published: September 2023

The increasing significance of information as an economic resource and a component of competitiveness results in that it has become essential for the smooth functioning and development of modern organisations. Possessing information provides a competitive advantage, which is why information is regarded as a strategic resource of an organisation, which supports various processes including: decision-making, employee communication, and knowledge management. For people from Generation Z, representing the youngest workers on the labour market, the availability of information constitutes a significant attribute of quality of life, as well as quality of work. The significance of information and the resulting information management takes on particular importance in a remote work system. The aim of this paper is to present the views of employees from Generation Z concerning the significance of information and the role of the superior in managing information in a remote work system. The research results presented in this paper are part of a nationwide quantitative study of workers from the youngest generation on the labour market. The study was carried out in December 2022 on a representative sample of Polish Generation Z employees who had experience of remote work. In order to learn the opinions of the young workers concerning the analysed issues, a survey was prepared and the questionnaire technique based on a five-point Likert scale was used. The results of the conducted research indicate that young people from generation Z positively assess the impact of remote working on both the speed of information exchange and the ability to understand the provided information, as well as assess its veracity. They were most appreciative of the speed of information transfer in remote working, and more doubtful about the reliability of the obtained information. In contrast, respondents assessed the amount of information flowing to employees working remotely in a negative manner. As can be seen from the obtained data, respondents appreciate the role of the manager in exchanging information in remote work, especially young employees with short experience in this form of work. Whereas, those with longer experience of remote working and working in micro organisations obtained information mainly from colleagues. However, it should be emphasized that despite the positive assessment of information sharing in remote working and the role played by the supervisor, the interviewed Generation Z employees indicated primarily that they would like to work stationary or in a hybrid manner in the future.
Strategic knowledge bases in the context of discovering and creating business opportunities
Authors: Sus Aleksandra , Pawłowski Edmund
Published: September 2023

Due to the level of interdisciplinarity and complexity, knowledge management processes in organizations need to be considered from different points of view.  The key area of interest of the article is systemic processes of creating knowledge bases that take into account strategic events in organizations in the form of market opportunities. Thus, the article’s main purpose is to create two models of knowledge bases, the structure and types of which are directly related to the processes of opportunity management: their discovery and creation.  For the main objective thus formulated, the researchers defined the following research questions:  1) What are the information needs for creating a strategic knowledge base model in the opportunity discovery process?  2) what is the information needed for creating a strategic knowledge base model in the opportunity creation process?  3) What are the benefits and utilitarian goals for the organization from the creation of strategic knowledge bases in the context of discovering and creating business opportunities?. The detailed objectives derive from analyzing the organization's interior models and environment. The methodology used in the article is a critical review of the literature, the method of deduction in the area of generating assumptions for discovery processes and creating opportunities in the context of creating knowledge models. The results will enable extracting the cognitive knowledge of strategic knowledge bases in the context of the organization's opportunities. Furthermore, this will result in research models detailing the organization's strategic activities in opportunities and knowledge management processes, along with the specification of the potential benefits of the processes carried out (utilitarian purpose). The research results will expand the understanding of the utilitarian nature of knowledge management processes and strategic theory.
Appropriately Managing Knowledge in Romanian Entrepreneurial Businesses: Finding Balance in Restructuring Companies
Authors: Dumitrescu Decebal
Published: September 2023

In light of the global economy transformation and the several crises affecting the world, streamlining and reorganization of companies' activities is a priority. We posit that concentration of knowledge and its use in companies for short term gains can lead to misguided economic behavior, crisis and insolvencies coupled with low probability of successful restructuring. In turn the success of restructuring is dependent on cohesive knowledge management while dispersed knowledge management can, at most, prolong the economic life of a company and not save it from demise. We analyze the impact and lack of impact that knowledge and its guided/misguided management can have on Romanian companies, ex ante and ex post insolvency procedures. We chose both an exploratory and explanatory case study approach of Romanian companies affected by economic crisis that underwent various insolvency stages, tracing the use of knowledge and its different practical deployment to the decision-making processes and their outcomes. We review the causes that lead to the economic crisis and subsequent insolvency contexts. We compare the use of knowledge by the companies’ leadership against similar cases in other jurisdictions and we identify patterns of successful and unsuccessful application of knowledge management. Next, we investigate the effects of dispersed knowledge management in the early insolvency stages, focusing on the reorganization phase identifying gaps and discussing potential solutions.  The results suggest, as they apply to the researched case studies, that both concentrated and dispersed knowledge management within distressed companies do not lead to positive outcomes and a balanced approach to knowledge management is more prone to provide effective and viable restructuring. The article explores several knowledge management theories and various academic research as they relate to the decision-making process for Romanian companies in distress and expands the academic universe as it relates to knowledge treatment in economic crisis. The results of our research and the potential solutions discussed can be further developed into a best practice guidance or a practical model to be used both by academics and practitioners as well.
Exploring knowledge management from a software engineering perspective
Authors: Georgiev Dilyan
Published: September 2023

Context: The knowledge domain of software engineering (SE) gradually expands due to fast emerging technologies and complex organisational processes. The software industry represents a special focus of interest from a Knowledge Management (KM) perspective, as it is characterized by high employee turnover, a high level of outsourced projects, and an accelerated pace of technology innovations. Knowledge management can substantially influence SE knowledge's life cycle, contributing to better structuring of organisational processes of knowledge creation, knowledge transfer, and knowledge sharing. Reflecting on the trends for SE automation with artificial intelligence tools, KM approaches can enable companies and professionals to reconsider the future of SE work. Purpose: The present research aims to identify and investigate how implementing knowledge management principles and processes within the software engineering domain can facilitate the future transformation of software-related jobs. Based on a conceptual model, built upon the literature review, the paper analyses the quantitative data, collected from 91 software experts. Evaluating the impact of both organizational and domain types of SE knowledge, the discussion evaluates the unique value-adding SE processes along with models of how to explore AI applications to automate the SE domain. Results: The outcomes of the analysis identify the models of structuring knowledge management processes in SE both within the technological domain and organisational layers. The discussion section establishes suitable KM methods and approaches for supporting SE job transformation. It identifies the main knowledge management integration practices, demonstrating how combining KM with AI-based innovations may change the SE knowledge flow, improving substantially SE activities like onboarding new team members, monitoring software documentation, version control, and error tracking.
Knowledge of the Business Ecosystem and the Implementation of a Circular Economy
Authors: Trzcielinska Jowita
Published: September 2023

Part of the European Green Deal is the Circular Economy Action Plan. Among other things, this plan formulates priorities for the design of products and production processes so that they are climate-neutral, correspond to a resource-efficient and circular economy (CE) and lead to a reduction of waste. These actions require companies not only to make changes to their organisational and management systems, but also to make investments. For this reason, these changes do not encourage companies to introduce the principles of the circular economy. Such encouragement can come from the business ecosystem. The aim of this article is to answer the question of whether companies gain such knowledge about the ecosystem in which they operate that encourages them to replace harmful technologies with friendly ones, to use their waste in their own production processes and those of other companies, and to neutralise their waste. This includes knowledge relating to the regulatory, economic, social, environmental and technological segments, as well as knowledge gained from buyers, suppliers and also competitors. The research hypothesis of the paper is that the greater this knowledge is, the more companies engage in the introduction of CE principles. In order to verify this hypothesis, an empirical study was conducted in 150 medium and large-sized companies belonging to 19 industrial sectors. Data were obtained using an interview questionnaire and were processed using a Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and post hoc test. The results obtained allow us to conclude that knowledge of changes occurring in macro-environmental segments is more influential than knowledge obtained from buyers, suppliers and competitors. Companies that have knowledge of the changes taking place in the ecosystem perceive and exploit these changes and actions towards a circular economy as business opportunities. The research results obtained are useful for indicating the practical steps that leaders in the introduction of circular economy principles are taking in order to acquire the necessary knowledge about the ecosystem. They can also provide some contribution to the development of a sustainable product policy legislative initiative by the European Commission using the performance of these leaders.
Renewal capital matters: Comparison between Lithuania and Taiwan

Published: September 2023

In a hyper-competition era with the shadows by COVID-19 pandemic, nations as well as companies are competing for talents, high-technologies and innovations to sustain the economic performance and competitiveness. This study compares the NIC of two small economies, Lithuania and Taiwan, that both perform better than most countries during the pandemic, aiming to understand their next steps to sustain the successfulness after the pandemic. The study utilized the ELSS (Edvinsson, Lin, Stahle and Stahle) model (Stahle et al., 2015) with 48 indicators collected from the World Competitiveness Yearbook to measure the degree of NIC. Based on 20 years (2001-2020) national intellectual capital (NIC) panel data, the descriptive analysis reveals that Lithuania lags behind Taiwan renewal capital. However, Lithuania’s market capital and process capital have great improvement over the past 20 years and are catching up with those of Taiwan. The renewal capital mainly consists of R&D spending/GDP, business R&D spending, cooperation between corporations and universities, venture capital, entrepreneurship, development and application of technology and 6 other renewal relevant indicators. From the perspective of NIC, the gap of GDP per capita between Lithuania and Taiwan corresponds to the difference of renewal capital between these two countries. The results show the significance of renewal capital. Those who are unable to attract, retain talents and slow in technology renewal will not be competitive and sustainable. We suggest that Lithuania utilize its short-term NIC to boost up economic development, then invest more in talent development and technology advancement to ensure its sustainability.
Practices that Mitigate Organizational Knowledge Hiding: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Oliveira Mirian , Teixeira Jaime , Curado Carla , Araújo Clécio
Published: September 2023

The importance of Knowledge sharing (KS) within organizations is well recognized. Despite efforts by firms to facilitate KS, employees are sometimes unwilling to share their knowledge. Inefficient KS can lead to reduced productivity and innovation and increased employee frustration. Knowledge hiding (KHi) occurs when someone withholds knowledge when asked to share it. While the literature contains much about the antecedents of KHi, our systematic literature review found very few articles that discuss how to mitigate it.  Hence, this study sought to associate KS practices with organizational KHi motivations and to find ways to mitigate the behavior. To do so, a systematic literature review was conducted in two main sources: Scopus; and Web of Science. The collected data were then subjected to content analysis. The results show KS practices designed to reduce organizational motivations for KHi are based on HR practices (recruitment, training, and mentoring) and organizational structure (teamwork, interdependence between tasks, job rotation, knowledge mapping, best practices, and communities of practice). KS practices such as face-to-face interaction and informal conversation appear to build trust and reduce KHi. Organizational antecedents of KHi, such as workplace bullying and incivility, are related with the organizational culture, and leadership is relevant to avoid negative events. Explicit and tacit KS practices can mitigate KHi. This research offers academic and managerial contributions on the KHi and how to mitigate it. Building on this study, future research could empirically test the relationship between KHi motivations and KS practices to mitigate KHi.
Bringing novices from the passive role in knowledge sharing to the active role
Authors: Roham Hamid , F.S. Gomes Jorge
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The nature of firm competition between firms and the source of competitive advantage in many industries has shifted toward a knowledge-based economy. This is particularly the case in knowledge intensive industries, wherein a firm’s competitive advantage is highly dependent on its ability to generate and deploy new knowledge solutions. Although knowledge management (KM) is relevant to all organizations, it is likely that its importance is higher at some functional units like maintenance. The field of industrial maintenance is complex and knowledge-intensive. Typically, industrial maintenance knowledge is inaccessible due to industry policies and practices; furthermore, motivation to share knowledge is low or inexistent, due to its tacit and complex nature. Despite these difficulties, sharing knowledge between experienced workers and managers, on one hand, and novices and new comers, on the other hand, is a fundamental problem in industrial maintenance settings, and about which there is still much to be known. The current research reports an investigation aimed at increasing knowledge sharing (KS) between novices and other workers in industrial maintenance. Design/Methodology/Approach: A quantitative field longitudinal research was carried out at a maintenance department of a high-tech company. The research included three steps: the first one assessed the current situation of KM and KS in the department; the second one implemented a number of training programs aimed to increase KS between novices and the rest of the department; and the third one collected information about KM and KS, to assess changes between the two observation moments. Findings: Novices can take an active role in KM and KS in maintenance departments of high-tech industries, rather than a passive role, which can significantly facilitate and improve their own and other employees' knowledge while moderately enhancing the culture of knowledge sharing. Practical Implications: sharing knowledge is a very challenging issue to maintenance managers, faced with risks and problems that need to be acquired by novices. The current research helps knowledge-intensive companies by highlighting solutions that can be designed and adapted to improve employees' knowledge and also KS.  Originality/Value: Empowering novices to transition from a passive role in knowledge sharing to an active one, while simultaneously improving their knowledge and also KS practices in industrial maintenance through their involvement.
Autonomy and Knowledge Processes - a Systematic Literary Review
Authors: Pekkanen Jarmo , Kianto Aino , Vanhala Mika
Published: September 2023

Knowledge processes, such as knowledge creation, sharing and application, enable knowledge production that increases innovation and superior organizational performance. Knowledge processes are ultimately and fundamentally conducted – or not engaged in – by the individuals. Hence, knowledge production is disrupted if individuals are prevented from using their knowledge production potential. One potential factor that causes disruption in knowledge production is the lack of autonomy. As autonomy means self-governance and independency, it enables independent and unique knowledge processing by the individual, and thereby supports both individual and collective level knowledge production. Despite the importance of the role of autonomy in knowledge production, there is no research-based knowledge of which knowledge process have been studied from the perspective of autonomy, and what has been left unexplored. This research clarifies the research literature by finding out which knowledge processes have been studied from the point of view of autonomy. Also, what has been found concerning the relationship between autonomy and knowledge processes is considered. The research was conducted as a systematic literature review supplemented by qualitative content analysis in which the articles up the year 2022 from databases Scopus and Web of Science were reviewed. The most notable finding of this study is the lack of research between autonomy and knowledge identification and the paucity of research between autonomy and knowledge internalization. This is a significant finding since knowledge identification affect what knowledge is processed and produced in the organization. Internalizations in turn affects knowledge-based orientation and knowledge production in the organizational environment. This paper contributes to the organizational research literature by summing up the existing research on the interface of autonomy and knowledge processes and provides a refined understanding on the central role of autonomy in the effective implementation of knowledge processes, as well as avenues for future research.
