Year 2017, Volume: 31 Issue: 1, 155 - 167, 01.01.2017

Abstract

This study focuson how anindividual's particularworkcontext,job characteristics andknowledge-relatedjobrequirementsaffectthe relationship betweentask-technologyfit TTF andthe use ofinformation systems IS inknowledge management activities. TheliteratureonKnowledge Management KM and Knowledge Management Systems KMS isreviewedto identifyrelevantconstructs and their dimensions. Based onthisanalysis,amodel isproposedandtested.Our findings suggestthat providing appropriateIT toolsthatfit tasks aloneis no guarantee that they will be employed to leveragetheacquisition,transferand reuse of knowledge.Certaincharacteristicsofjobs, driven by particularworkcontexts, generategreater needandopportunityforknowledgeuse.These latter factors moderate therelationshipbetween TTFandactual useofISfor KM purposes:thegreaterthe needand opportunity to conductknowledgerelated activities,thestrongertherelationshipbetweenTTFand actual IS use

Bilgi Yönetimi Süreçlerini Geliştirmede Enformasyon Sistemlerinin Kullanılması: Çalışma Ortamı, İş Özellikleri ve İş-Teknoloji Uyumunun Rolü

Year 2017, Volume: 31 Issue: 1, 155 - 167, 01.01.2017

Abstract

Bu makale bireyin çalıştığı ortam, iş özellikleri ve bilgiyle bağlantılı iş gereksinmelerinin, işteknoloji uyumu ile enformasyon sistemlerinin Bilgi Yönetimi BY etkinliklerinde kullanılması arasındaki ilişkileri nasıl etkilediği üzerine odaklanmaktadır. BY ve Bilgi Yönetimi Sistemleri BYS hakkındaki literatür, ilgili yapıları ve bunların boyutlarını belirlemek üzere incelenmiştir. Bu analize dayanılarak bir model önerilmiş ve model test edilmiştir. Bulgularımız, yalnızca işlere uygun enformasyon teknolojisi araçları sağlamanın, bilginin elde edilmesi, aktarılması ve tekrar kullanılmasını geliştirmede işe yarayabileceğinin garantisi olmadığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Belirli çalışma ortamlarının getirdiği belirli iş özellikleri, bilginin kullanılması için daha büyük bir gereksinme ve olanak üretmektedir. Bu etkenler işteknoloji uyumu ile BY amaçları için enformasyon sistemlerinin kullanılması arasındaki ilişkiyi değişikliğe uğratmaktadır: Bilgiye ilişkin etkinlikleri yürütme gereksinmesi ve olanağı ne kadar çok olursa, iş-teknoloji uyumu ile enformasyon sistemlerinin kullanılması arasındaki ilişki de o kadar güçlü olur.
