Reid, Anne-Marie. "Knowledge creation processes in foundation degree partnership working." Thesis, Open University, 2010. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.536060.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis seeks to develop an understanding of knowledge creation processes in partnership working, conditions which foster these, and their impact on longer-term sustainability. The partnership, between a university in Greater Manchester and the Strategic Health Authority, was established in 2002 to train a new role of healthcare worker through the delivery a foundation degree in health and social care. At that time foundation degrees were new, and the `Assistant Practitioner' role was being introduced to bridge the gap between staff at registered professional level and those at support worker level. The role is intended as generic and patient-centred in crossing traditional professional boundaries, and so presents challenges in creating, sharing and embedding knowledge, which accords well with the concept of knowledge management. The study explores Nonaka and Takeuchi's (1995) model of Knowledge Management, and Engestrom's (1997,2001) Activity Theory, in relation to how these constructs may provide insight into the knowledge processes in partnership working. `Partnership' is a contested concept which is debated in the context of the policy drivers underpinning the development. The enquiry has employed a case study approach within an interpretive paradigm with data gathered through semistructured interviews and a focus group. Thematic analysis of the interview data identifies and explores themes in knowledge creation and partnership working which raise questions of power dynamics. These questions are not fully addressed by the knowledge creation models, and so the relationship between power, knowledge and discourse is further considered through a Foucauldian discourse analysis approach to the focus group. The conclusions support the value of the knowledge creation models for developing insights into how partnership working supports innovation and may sustain it. The discourse analysis reveals the pervasiveness of power relationships, reflects on their impact on knowledge creation, and considers the consequences for longer-term sustainability of the partnership.

Thomson, Aleksandra. "Flexible working : the experiences of women knowledge workers." Thesis, Bournemouth University, 2018. http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/31040/.

Full text
Abstract:
Work organisations in the knowledge economy depend on a different talent: knowledge workers, whose tacit knowledge is valuable to employers in the quest for a competitive advantage. Knowledge work and its concomitant reliance on information and communication technologies facilitate flexible work arrangements (FWA), which in turn enable crossing of spatial and temporal boundaries. These new ways of working are often recommended for women to retain their careers, resolve work-life balance issues and achieve their full potential. However, there is a dearth of studies into experiences of women knowledge workers who use FWA. Furthermore, existing research on knowledge workers not only largely neglects women’s perspectives, but it also presents utopian ideals of freedom, autonomy and prestige often adopting high-status, exclusive knowledge worker conceptualisations. Moreover, FWA and knowledge work fused under one theoretical framework is still under-explored and under-theorised. Therefore, the aim of this research is to better understand how women knowledge workers obtain, experience, and manage FWA. A qualitative approach was adopted involving semi- structured interviews with 30 women knowledge workers in South West England. Template analysis was used to make sense of the data. The research findings emerged inductively and structuration theory (ST) guided the exploration of the participants’ accounts. This study found that the women knowledge workers drew upon their internal and external structures, such as occupational capital, knowledge and people to obtain FWA by the practices of leveraging, rationalising and bargaining. Once they had secured FWA, these women engaged in practices to emulate normativity, compensate, conceal their flexible status, reciprocate flexibility, and create impact. Furthermore, the women’s perceived consequences of utilising FWA were explored in relation to their lives and careers. This study proposes an inductively emergent theory of women knowledge workers’ experiences of FWA with the concepts of Becoming and (Un)becoming Flexible. Although the women knowledge workers had a strong human capital to firstly Become Flexible, then they strived to (Un)become Flexible by realigning with the expectations of constant presence, availability and performance in the eyes of organisational audience. These practices contributed to the weakening of their professional currency, strengthening the ideal worker and gender norms, and reproducing neoliberal values making these women responsible for the unwanted daily incursions of outside commitments. This study fills a number of gaps in current scholarship. Firstly, by focusing on women, this study contributes to a largely gender- neutral knowledge work literature. Secondly, by exploring women’s experiences in the context of the right to request flexible working, this study enhances our knowledge of how FWA are negotiated and obtained. Thirdly, by adopting ST to make sense of the data, this study helps us better understand how women knowledge workers are simultaneously leveraging structures for agentic practices and reproducing structures that may ultimately constrain them.

Abstract:
Human society faces serious environmental and social threats as a result of systemic unsustainable actions and values. This is a time of cultural self-evaluation and profound change. This study examines how 13 social and environmental change-based organizations, through network partnerships and a robust organizational knowledge-base, are responding to these challenges. A systems perspective was used as a guide to promote a holistic understanding of the actors within the system, their perceptions of success, strategies, actions and tools used to guide them toward sustainability. The results indicate that organizations seeking to scale-up their impact toward sustainability might benefit from the following success factors: 1. Collaboration with diverse partners to contribute to more effective interventions in complex systems, 2. Integrating comprehensive definitions of sustainability with organizational vision to facilitate success, 3. The application of leverage points and transparent prioritization processes to asure congruence between organizational purpose and actions, 4. Practices of dialogue and deep listening build rewarding partnerships and, 5. Metrics that support partnerships and gauge progress toward sustainability. In conclusion network partnerships have the potential to generate widespread sustained change and can be supported by complex systems science and a Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development.

Harding, Jennifer A. "A knowledge representation model to support concurrent engineering team working." Thesis, Loughborough University, 1996. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/7054.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis demonstrates that a knowledge representation model can provide considerable support to concurrent engineering teams, by providing a sound basis for creation of necessary software applications. This is achieved by demonstrating that use of the knowledge representation model facilitates the capture, interpretation and implementation of important aspects of the multiple, diverse types of expertise which are essential to the successful working of concurrent engineering project teams. The varieties of expertise which can be modelled as instances of the knowledge representation model range from specialist applications, which support particular aspects of design, by assisting human designers with highly focused skills and knowledge sets, to applications which specialise in management or coordination of team activities. It is shown that both these types of expertise are essential for effective working of a concurrent engineering team. Examination of the requirements of concurrent engineering team working indicate that no single artificial intelligence paradigm can provide a satisfactory basis for the whole range of possible solutions which may be provided by intelligent software applications. Hence techniques, architectures and environments to support design and development of hybrid software expertise are required, and the knowledge representation model introduced in this research is such an architecture. The versatility of the knowledge representation model is demonstrated through the design and implementation of a variety of software applications.

Kennedy, William Robert. "Individual (personal) perspectives on innovation| Federal knowledge management working group." Thesis, Capella University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3611870.

Full text
Abstract:

Knowledge management (KM) professionals are instrumental drivers of innovation. Their individual understanding of innovation is of seminal importance as they are instrumental in archiving and structuring the world's largest knowledge storage and knowledge generation activities. Understanding how members of members of the Federal Knowledge Management Working Group (FKMWG) perceive innovation from the personal perspective is instrumental in assisting senior leaders and decision makers better train, organization, and recruit future KM professionals to meet organization needs. Key to understanding the KM professional's personal perceptions are gender, generation, job function, and job classification. This quantitative study was designed to explore and surface valuable information concerning how KM professionals working for the Federal government view innovation from a personal level. This study built upon the earlier work of Zhuang (1995), Zhuang, Williamson, and Carter (1999), and McLaughlin and (2013). This study expands the previous work by targeting the 650 KM professionals associated with the FKMWG on-line social community employing McLaughlin and Caraballo's updated survey instrument. The study found there are differences in how FKMWG members as a whole and how genders view innovation from a personal perspective, but found there are no differences in how generations or specific job classifications (technical verse non-technical) viewed innovation from a personal perspective.

Henning, Janet L. "Working Baby Boomers’ Knowledge of Retiree Health Benefits and Costs." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2012. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc149607/.

Full text
Abstract:
This study was exploratory in nature, with the purpose of examining the relationships between working Baby Boomers’ knowledge of retirement health benefits and health costs and actions they have taken to prepare for retirement. An online survey was completed by 209 Baby Boomers who are employed by three city governments in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The research showed that health benefits knowledge does not predict retirement preparation but that Baby Boomers who demonstrate higher levels of knowledge-seeking behavior are more likely to undertake retirement preparation, specifically by purchasing an annuity. Among public sector working Baby Boomers, retirement preparation activities are found to be minimal. Age was found to predict knowledge-seeking behavior, in that older vs. younger Baby Boomers are more likely to engage in knowledge-seeking behavior related to retirement preparation. Current knowledge about health benefits does not predict retirement preparation.

Full text
Abstract:
There is growing consensus that political factors are a key determinant of development impact. The practice of Thinking and Working Politically (TWP) is built around three interconnected principles: (i) strong political analysis, insight, and understanding; (ii) detailed appreciation of, and response to, the local context; and (iii) flexibility and adaptability in program design and implementation. The literature notes that while TWP emphasises the centrality of politics and power, technical knowledge is still important and can reinforce the political agenda, for example by increasing the confidence of smaller states or by strengthening collective understanding. Furthermore, improving the quality of domestic cooperation can be a step towards regional cooperation, and flexible engagement with the diverse range of actors that populate transboundary settings has been shown to be an effective strategy. The literature also highlights lessons learned including Transboundary cooperation can be built from the bottom up and for development partners, pre-existing bilateral partnerships may facilitate their engagement at a transboundary level, particularly on sensitive issues. Given the relatively isolated experience of TWP in transboundary settings, the evidence base for this report is also limited. The two areas where most examples were found concern regional integration and transboundary water management.

Abstract:
This report aims to explore how HEED approached and delivered capacity building for the research team, project partners and the communities the team worked within Rwanda and Nepal. This report's purpose is threefold: first, to be evidential on how HEED planned, delivered and captured impact around capacity building so similar projects can develop best practice when skills development is a key deliverable. Second, to encourage other energy projects to document the impact produced by researchers and practitioners' involvement while working with communities. Therefore, to recognise the tacit and dynamic aspects of knowledge production, not only the more explicit aspects. Third, suggest recommendations to support a skills-led approach to capacity building that provides personal and professional development opportunities to deepen knowledge production and impact.

Full text
Abstract:
Although knowledge about HIV/AIDS is widespread in South Africa, adult HIV prevalence is high, indicating high levels of risky sexual behavior. Understanding the gap between knowledge and behavior requires an examination of the social context in which the epidemic occurs. The Horizons Program conducted an intervention study in the Carletonville area to study the social determinants of the HIV epidemic and to assess the impact of a targeted program of HIV and STI prevention and service delivery. In 1998, the Mothusimpilo (“Working together for health”) Intervention Project (MIP) was launched to reduce community prevalence of HIV and other STIs and to sustain those reductions through enhanced prevention and STI treatment services. Carletonville includes many migrant mine workers and is characterized by significant poverty and unemployment, the presence of sex work, and high rates of STIs. MIP targets population groups where high-risk sexual behavior is thought to be common. This brief focuses on sex workers because of their vulnerability to STIs and HIV infection and their link to miners and men in the broader community.

Abstract:
The experiences and marginalisation of international organisation employees with caring responsibilities has a direct negative impact on the type of security and justice being built in conflict-affected environments. This is in large part because international organisations fail to respond to the needs of those with caring responsibilities, which leads to their early departure from the field, and negatively affects their work while in post. In this toolkit we describe this problem, the exacerbating factors, and challenges to overcoming it. We offer a theory of change demonstrating how caring for carers can both improve the working conditions of employees of international organisations as well as the effectiveness, inclusivity and responsiveness of peace and justice interventions. This is important because it raises awareness among employers in the sector of the severity of the problem and its consequences. We also offer a guide for employers for how to take the caring responsibilities of their employees into account when developing human resource policies and practices, designing working conditions and planning interventions. Finally, we underscore the importance of conducting research on the gendered impacts of the marginalisation of employees with caring responsibilities, not least because of the breadth and depth of resultant individual, organisational and sectoral harms. In this regard, we also draw attention to the way in which gender stereotypes and gender biases not only inform and undermine peacebuilding efforts, but also permeate research in this field. Our toolkit is aimed at international organisation employees, employers and human resources personnel, as well as students and scholars of peacebuilding and international development. We see these communities of knowledge and action as overlapping, with insights to be brought to bear as well as challenges to be overcome in this area. The content of the toolkit is equally relevant across these knowledge communities as well as between different specialisms and disciplines. Peacebuilding and development draw in experts from economics, politics, anthropology, sociology and law, to name but a few. The authors of this toolkit have come together from gender studies, political science, and development studies to develop a theory of change informed by interdisciplinary insights. We hope, therefore, that this toolkit will be useful to an inclusive and interdisciplinary set of knowledge communities. Our core argument - that caring for carers benefits the individual, the sectors, and the intended beneficiaries of interventions - is relevant for students, researchers, policy makers and practitioners alike.

Abstract:
The United States has been affected by an extensive novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak since March 2020. On March 9, 2020 we started an online survey of people’s perceptions and behaviors related to this issue in Missouri and adjacent states (Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Arkansas). The survey was ended on June 9, 2020 and in total 7,392 surveys were completed. In order to assess how attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19 may change over time, two follow-up surveys were conducted with those respondents who indicated interest in the re-surveys and provided an email address. These two working reports summarize major results of the initial survey and three survey waves, including respondents’ perceived severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, sources of information, knowledge about COVID-19, perceptions of COVID-19 risk, satisfaction with management entities, and preventive actions.
