A Multi-Factoral Approach to Enhancing Millennial Teachers' Personal Knowledge Management

Prior research has emphasized a need for scholarly works investigating millennial instructors' knowledge management (PKM) practices at the individual level within an institution. In addition, there needs to be more research examining the role of organizational learning as a mediator between transformational leadership and personal knowledge management among millennial instructors. This study examines how transformational leadership, ICT literacy, and organizational learning affect personal knowledge management (PKM) among Indonesian school instructors in their 20s and 30s. Another goal is to investigate the function of organizational learning as a mediating factor. We administered questionnaires to 100 teachers at some private Islamic schools in Bengkulu, Indonesia, and evaluated them subsequently using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results suggest that proficiency in information and communication technology (ICT), the ability to inspire and guide others through transformational leadership, and the presence of a culture that promotes continuous learning within the business all contribute positively to the practice of personal knowledge management (PKM) among instructors from the millennial generation. The study determined that ICT literacy had the most substantial impact on teachers' PKM. Furthermore, organizational learning mediates between transformational leadership and PKM, resulting in a slight rise. These findings have practical consequences for school administrators who aim to increase millennial teachers' information and communication technology (ICT) skills in the region. One way to achieve this is by creating an ICT literacy ecosystem within schools, which will help strengthen the personal knowledge management of these instructors.

The next big thing: role of ChatGPT in personal knowledge management challenges and opportunities for knowledge workers across diverse disciplines

Neurodivergence and Personal Knowledge Management Across Life Domains

Based on the findings of a study exploring the use of personal knowledge management (PKM) by neurodivergent (ND) survey participants, this paper demonstrates that PKM can be a valuable strategy for ND individuals across all life domains, arguing that PKM should be studied in relation to NDs’ personal goals and interests, rather than just in the context of employment and academia as it typically has been. This study was made up of an anonymous, online survey of over 300 self-identifying ND adults, primarily with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and/or autism. The survey included both close-ended and open-ended questions about participants’ use of PKM strategies, and responses indicated that while the life domains of Job and Academic were reported to be most positively impacted by PKM, the life domains of Everyday Life and Leisure, and to a lesser extent Health, Family and Partnership, and Social Contacts were also positively impacted. This paper contributes to the sparse research on the information behaviors of ND adults and to the discussion of quality of life and well-being of ND individuals.

The Use of Personal Knowledge Management Initiatives by Teachers in Poland. Contribution to the Discussion

The article discusses the issues related to personal knowledge management (PKM) and initiatives undertaken in this area by a professional group of teachers. These issues are still insufficiently researched, and thus cognitively interesting and requiring further exploration. The aim of the study was to determine the level of teachers' initiative in the area of personal knowledge management, with reference to the relationships between the variables characterizing the surveyed teachers, such as: gender, age, seniority, type of educational institution and the position held. In the study, conducted by means of a diagnostic survey method among 169 professionally active teachers, the author's Questionnaire of Personal Knowledge Management Initiatives was used. The obtained research results were statistically analyzed using the PSPP program, Gnu General Public License Version 3. The data were processed using the ANOVA analysis of variance. The applied method of standard deviations showed that the largest group of the surveyed teachers presents an average level of initiative in the field of personal knowledge management. Based on the obtained results, it can also be concluded that: women, teachers with the longest seniority, from the oldest age group, holding managerial positions; employed in kindergartens and educational non-school institutions, are characterized by a higher level of initiative in the field of personal knowledge management. The obtained research results are of practical importance both for teachers and for the organizations in which they work. They may also contribute to the introduction of new solutions in the education of future teachers at the university level, as well as to the organization of training and workshops improving and developing personal knowledge management skills among professionally active teachers.

The coaching process and contributions to personal knowledge management development: an integrative review

The objective of this article is to verify how the coaching process can contribute to the development of Personal Knowledge Management (PKM). Despite being extensively discussed in the business environment, especially in the development of executives and leadership, and in the sports field, the debate about coaching in other areas of personal development is still in its early stages, as is personal knowledge management. Although in many works, PKM is treated as a subarea of knowledge management, in this paper, we consider it as a specific area of study. The method used was integrative review, which allows for the synthesis of previous studies, thus generating new knowledge on the studied topic. The search focused on works published in the CAPES journals portal, in the period between 2009 and 2019. The results demonstrated that coaching can contribute to personal knowledge management, as it allows individuals participating in the process to identify, categorize, store, organize, and share personal knowledge, and consequently, self-development and a greater perception of self-awareness for individuals.

Digital information literacy, self-directed learning, and personal knowledge management in critical readers: Application of IDC Theory

The usefulness of self-directed learning ability in education has been demonstrated in previous studies. However, there has been much less understanding of the importance of digital information literacy, as well as how to manage these abilities and knowledge, and their effects on learning processes, especially in the current situation of digital education dominance and the necessity of interest creation in students. In order to address such needs and to evaluate students, as well as determine the effectiveness of the Interest-Driven Creator (IDC) loops, this study was conducted. In this study, 164 English language students were asked to participate in the pre-test, treatment, and post-test processes, while the treatments for the IDC group were developed in the form of interest-creation-habit triple loops. The results represented that IDC hybrid instruction was more effective in strengthening digital information literacy and personal knowledge management; and the IDC hybrid group outperformed the non-IDC hybrid group in terms of self-directed learning skills. These findings also revealed that to develop self-directed learning in critical readers, in addition to digital skills and how to manage and apply acquired knowledge, learning instructions (i.e., interest-creation-habit loops) have been effective. The IDC-hybrid group also identified the features of participation, perception-interest and facility-opportunity as the most significant and tangible ones.

An In-Depth Discussion on the Education Management of College Students from the Perspective of New Media

In-depth discussion on the education management of college students from the perspective of new media is the main idea of the designed study. At present, the research and practice of school knowledge management mainly involves two aspects: teacher's personal knowledge management and also school-level knowledge management, and there are few researches on college students' self-knowledge management. Multi-channel information carriers such as the Internet, coal, books and magazines make their ideological concerns show a clear wide-area feature, covering various issues of history and reality, domestic and international, but it is precisely this kind of informatization. The extreme richness, rapid change and dispersion of various information in society also breed the superficial development of the ideological and cultural needs of contemporary college students. This paper gives then ovel suggestions.

The Role of Personal Knowledge Management on the Effects of Self-Leadership to Transformational Leadership: A Study on the Public Healthcare Managers

In the present era called the information age, also known as the digital age, healthcare managers have to deal with many challenges besides trying to adapt to the rapidly changing micro and macro-environment affected by the pandemic. Currently, digitalization and hybrid work ecosystem are on the rise requiring healthcare managers to effectively use self knowledge management tools to lead themselves and be able to lead their staff members by inspiring, encouraging and motivating them transforming their staff members creating value for all. However, there is insufficient research on the relationship of leadership styles and personal knowledge management. The aim of this study is to determine the mediating role of personal knowledge management in the effect of self-leadership on transformational leadership. The study was carried out with scales of self-leadership, transformational leadership and personal knowledge management. Scales were validated by factor analysis. Structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships. The research universe consisted of the public healthcare managers working in Istanbul. It was found that the validity and the reliability of the research scales were high. According to the research findings; the self-leadership and transformational leadership perceptions of healthcare managers working in public institutions are high. The results obtained demonstrate the existence of a partial mediation effect of personal knowledge management on the positive effect of self-leadership on transformational leadership.

Hybrid optimized query expansion strategy for semantic information retrieval using spatial bound whale and binary moth flame optimization algorithm

SummaryThe standard information retrieval systems mainly extract documents based on the relative keywords and this method is not effective since the related information can be only identified by extracting the semantics present in the text. Hence to overcome this problem, a semantic‐based query retrieval model is formulated in this article for query processing, identification, extraction, expansion, sorting, and filtering. A keyword expansion approach using the hybrid spatial bound whale optimization algorithm‐binary moth flame optimization algorithm is proposed in this work. In this way, the complexity associated with insufficient query information is overcome. The efficiency of the proposed model in extracting the top k relevant information is evaluated using the experiments conducted in the TREC data using different performance metrics such as precision@k, recall@k, mean reciprocal rank@k, mean average precision, and normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCG@k). The proposed model achieves improved outcomes when compared to different state‐of‐art techniques such as i‐Dataquest, fuzzy logic, ontological framework for information extraction, and personal knowledge management in terms of precision@k, recall@k, mean reciprocal rank@k, exact match, F1‐score, and NDCG@k. The proposed model gives a mean reciprocal rank@k score of 0.8901, 0.8947, 0.8958, and 0.9014 for the k‐values 1, 3, 5, and 10, respectively. The MAP@k score for the top‐10 result suggestion retrieved is 0.39056. The exact match score of the proposed model for the newsgroup, SQuAD 1.0, and SQUAD 2.0 is 93.25, 94.65, and 95.25.

Structural Analysis of PE Teaching Strategy and System Knowledge Management Based on Mobile Digital Information Technology

In order to solve the physical education strategy problem of mobile digital information technology, a structure analysis and research method of systematic knowledge management department is proposed. First of all, the arrival and continuous maturity of the economic era has provided technical support for the development of many fields, especially the progress of information technology to strengthen the advantages of information management. Now the information management has gradually risen to the development stage of knowledge management. Secondly, there are related group learning and teachers’ personal knowledge management questionnaire survey. The statistical results of 178 valid questionnaires collected showed that 100% of teachers admitted that they had participated in different forms and types of group learning, and 91% of preschool teachers believed that they had a basic fixed time and content of group learning. However, 64.2 percent of teachers admitted that they did not consider personal knowledge management at all. For what is a personal knowledge management, 43.8% of the teachers are only heard of the term “personal knowledge management” but do not know the specific meaning. 17.4% of the teachers had heard of it and knew something about it. Only 3.4% of teachers clearly understood the meaning of personal knowledge management, and 35.4% had never heard of the concept of personal knowledge management, let alone the application of personal knowledge management strategies. The results show that how to excavate the structure of knowledge management of sports subject systematically through the innovation of PE teaching strategy, and excavate tacit knowledge and comprehensive explicit knowledge more deeply is the focus of this study. Therefore, from the perspective of knowledge management, an educational information resource management system is proposed, which can classify subject knowledge effectively and intelligently by means of mobile information technology.

The Great Resignation: the great knowledge exodus or the onset of the Great Knowledge Revolution?

PurposeThe purpose of this Real Impact Viewpoint Article is to analyze the phenomenon of the Great Resignation from the knowledge management perspective.Design/methodology/approachIt applies the knowledge-based view of the firm to the notion of the Great Resignation, reviews the extant literature and relies on secondary data.FindingsThe Great Resignation has created numerous knowledge-related impacts on the individual, organizational and national levels. On the individual level, because of an accelerating adoption of freelancing, the future may witness an expansion of the category of the knowledge worker and a growing need for personal knowledge management methods and information technologies. Organizational effects include knowledge loss, reduced business process efficiency, damaged intra-organizational knowledge flows, lower relational capital, lost informal friendship networks, difficulty attracting the best human capital, undermined knowledge transfer processes and knowledge leakage to competition. Countries may also witness the depletion of national human capital.Practical implicationsManagers should learn how to use the available human capital more efficiently; realize the importance of universal succession planning programs; automate knowledge-centric business processes; facilitate knowledge-based IT initiatives by implementing self-functioning virtual communities, including enterprise social networks; restructure organizations to optimize intra-organizational knowledge flows; adjust strategies, products and target markets based on the available human capital; and create telecommuting conditions for people with disabilities who cannot be physically present. Knowledge management scholars are presented with a unique opportunity to convert the numerous theoretical insights accumulated within the boundaries of their discipline into practical application to facilitate the Great Knowledge Revolution.Originality/valueThis viewpoint offers managerial recommendations and inspires future Great Resignation investigations.

Towards a Holistic Framework of Knowledge Worker Productivity

Many jobs today are predominantly knowledge work. This makes organizations dependent on value created by knowledge workers (KWs). Many of the initiatives to improve and manage knowledge worker productivity (KWP) give unpredictable results depending on factors that are often hidden and unknown. It is important to find a holistic approach to improve and manage KWP that gives consistent results across many different organizations. This paper takes us a step closer towards that objective by mapping insights gained from a systematic literature review to activities in a purposeful activity model of the individual KW at work and, based on the findings, proposing a draft of a holistic KWP framework. The main components of the framework are the state of the individual KW, work done and outcome. The systematic literature review searched for papers with topics that touched on approaches, frameworks, tools, or models which aim to tackle the productivity, performance, effectiveness, efficiency, or management of KWs. Relevant concepts were extracted from each paper and categorized into groups. Twelve groups were formed of which six consisted of concepts relevant to individual KWs and their work: organizational commitment and engagement, communication and relationships, personal characteristics and development, personal knowledge management, well-being and job satisfaction and task approach.

Empowering Personal Knowledge Management Among Teachers in Indonesia: A Multi-Faceted Approach using SEM

Previous studies reveal a gap in literature relating the contribution of personal knowledge management (PKM) at the individual level within organization. In addition, the mediating role of organizational learning in the relationship between transformational leadership on personal knowledge management is less studied. Therefore, this study aims to address the gap by investigating the combined effects of transformational leadership, information and communications technology (ICT) literacy, and organizational learning toward teachers’ PKM in the context of school in Indonesia. It is also aimed to explore the role of organizational learning as the mediating variable. We collected questionnaire data from 80 teachers at an international school in Jakarta, Indonesia and used partial least squares structural equation modeling to examine the data. Our findings showed that ICT literacy, transformational leadership, and organizational learning culture positively affect PKM. ICT literacy found to have the biggest impact on the PKM of the teachers. In addition, organizational learning found to mediate the effect of transformational leadership on PKM, even though the increase is not high. These findings provide managerial implications for the school management to improve their ICT literacy by building ICT literacy ecosystem in the school to improve teachers’ PKM.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF THE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION, SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX AS A DIDACTIC TOOL FOR THE DEVELOPING PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF AN ENGINEER

The relevance of the research is justified by the need for systematic collaboration between universities and production in the context of digitalization, since other technologies are proposed that change the learning process. The paper presents an analysis of the literature on the problem of creating a knowledge management system in the industrial and scientific educational complex, which shows the need to create an information infrastructure. The application of the knowledge management system in educational practice allows you to establish multi-level connections (interpersonal, intergroup, interorganizational) in the intellectual field of the industrial production, scientific and educational complex, as well as comprehensively solve didactic and educational tasks. The paper also attempts to reveal the essence of the concept of "didactic tools". Didactic tools should be considered as a set of interrelated tools intended for participants in the learning process, the use of which in educational practice contributes to the effective solution of certain didactic tasks. A working definition of the developed didactic tools is proposed – the knowledge management system of the industrial, scientific and educational complex: a set of interrelated and systematic processes and tools intended for the subjects of interaction in the intellectual field of the industrial, scientific and educational complex. It provides collection, formalization, examination, updating, accumulation, preservation, enrichment, reuse and dissemination of industry knowledge. The means allocated as part of the didactic tools are always systematically interconnected, although each of them can solve its own separate task. There are two major subsystems in the knowledge management system: a subsystem for managing separated knowledge, which are separated from the personality of their bearer and are presented in some symbolic form (text, hypertext, ontology), and a subsystem for managing personal knowledge that people carry (students, teachers, researchers, experts from industry). The subsystem of personal knowledge management is analyzed, it involves the use of pedagogical technologies of a personality-oriented nature, and the need for the forming a culture of working with knowledge, the presence of professionalism among instructors when using the knowledge management system of an educational organization is substantiated. The development of a knowledge management system for an industrial scientific, industrial, scientific and educational complex requires the solution of many diverse tasks that require the involvement of experts from different subject areas in the team of developers, which create the knowledge management system.
