- The Impact of Cyber Addiction on Information Overload and Workplace Performance
- Cyber addiction refers to the excessive use of internet and cyber application leading to adverse outcomes such as stress, distractions, reduced motivation levels, and challenges in task orientation. Uncontrolled consumption of the internet leads to information overload that impact productivity and workplace performance (Griffiths, 2010). In such cases, the ubiquitous availability of information can lead to IT-related stress where users derive a reduced sense of satisfaction (Diomidous et al. 2016). People who frequently access the internet can experience various issues, which encompass anxiety, depression, and self-image challenges. Physically, affected individuals experience disrupted sleep patterns, irritability and high levels of fatigue. Social networking sites increase the risk of addiction and online dependency, aspects associated with low levels of productivity (Hoq, 2014). As illustrated in fig 1, the paper hypothesizes that there is a direct relationship between information overload and workplace performance and job satisfaction. The assumption is that cyber addiction worsens the problem of information overload, which in return, impacts information behavior and use and workplace/job performance (Riaz & Qureshi, 2019). The study addresses the following research questions: What is the impact of cyber addiction on workplace performance? What are the relationships between cyber addiction, information workload and information behavior and use? The findings indicate cyber addiction adversely affects job performance and significantly correlates with the concept of information overload and information behavior and use. Prominent issues among a majority of users include poor prioritization and planning, as employees often opt for non-essential functions at the expense of critical ones.
- Information Representation and Knowledge Organization in Cultural Heritage Organizations in Arab Gulf Counties: A case study of Alqabas Archive
- The goal of this study is to explore how information is currently organized in digital cultural heritage collections in Arabian Gulf countries. it focused on Alqabas – a Kuwaiti institution with a strong reputation of early adopter of digital archiving and developer of major digital collections in Arab Gulf counties, accumulated experience in knowledge management. The mixed-methods study combined semi-structured interview of the Alqabas archive manager and in-depth content analysis of a sample of metadata records that represent items in Alqabas digital collections for accuracy, completeness, consistency, use of knowledge organization systems. The study reveals high metadata quality overall but lack of consistency for many metadata fields, explained in part by the absence of metadata creation guidelines and professional training for metadata creators. This indicates potential barriers to metadata interoperability in an aggregated environment for future projects similar to DPLA or Europeana.
- Wisdom as it Exists in a Professional’s Life
- Recent years have seen the development of quite a few measures of wisdom (e.g. Ardelt (2003); Glück (2017); Staudinger and Pasupathi (2003); Sternberg (1998); Webster (2003)). With a focus on information professionals working in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) sector, this study is unique in the way it translated the quantitative measures used in previous study into a qualitative instrument that can allow wisdom aspects to be explored through interviews. Thus the purpose of this research was to investigate the key characteristics of wisdom for professionals working in the GLAM sector.
- Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Management in South African Automotive Industries
- Automotive industries in the developed world have strived to improve performance and productivity by incorporating Knowledge Management (KM) practices in their manufacturing processes. This has been attributed to the use of upgraded technological capabilities in the acquisition, sharing, and retention of organizational knowledge. Literature has unpacked that as much as automotive industries need Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in their KM strategy, they should also include aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to facilitate and share knowledge (Wisskirchen et al., 2017; Calitz, Poisat & Cullen, 2017; Cronin, Conway & Walsh, 2019). More so, they recognised the limitations of ICTs concerning the management of tacit knowledge, which is intangible and difficult to share, as it plays a crucial role in the KM process. Despite the interest of many authors towards KM in automotive industries, there is a lack of studies aimed at investigating AI as a KM enabler in the South African automotive industry. This is a relevant issue as knowledge in the automotive industries tends to manifest itself tacitly. This realization has spawned a growing interest in incorporating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence into KM practices to overcome knowledge loss and bringing in innovation in automotive industries. It is against this backdrop; the study seeks to investigate AI as a KM enabler in automotive industries of South Africa.
- Innovation Indicators for Companies: A Systematic Review
- This paper aims to compile organizational innovation management indicators of papers that included some empirical step in the research and were published in the last 5 years (2015-2019). Based on PRISMA protocol, a systematic review was conducted and 356 indicators were extracted. They were categorized in 11 dimensions, following Dziallas & Blind (2019) previous literature research. The results make it possible to update the studies of innovation indicators at the organizational-level, filling an existing time gap in the research field. As for future research, we recommend the unification of similar indicators, the establishment of objective criteria for indicators categorization, and the development of an innovation indicator framework containing relevant indicators based on scholars’ and practitioners’ opinions, their description and measurement/evaluation methods.

- COVID19: Mask Misinformation and Social Noise
- Disinformation and misinformation are pervasive in unregulated social-media environments, which are used habitually for obtaining news. Fenn et al in 2019 stated that “Given that people tend to share interesting information to maintain social relationships or to manage their impressions, information that receives more likes may subsequently be shared more often” (Fenn, Ramsay, Kantner, Pezdek, & Abed, 2019, p.133) Recent studies also revealed that misinformation from politicians and celebrities has increased in recent years which lead to more engagement on Twitter (Brennen, et al. 2020 ). There has been a lot of misinformation pertaining to COVID-19 masks on Twitter. Due to the misinformation, many people might not believe in the effectiveness of masks. Even though studies have shown the effectiveness of wearing masks in different countries (Lyu and Wehby, 2020). Not wearing masks affects people's health and indirectly increases the spread of COVID-19. Studies of social noise and misinformation cases on social media are needed, specifically focusing on how social noise influences and contributes to the spread of misleading and possibly harmful messages.
- Role of Social Media in Spreading Fake News During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Survey among University Students of Bangladesh
- Arising in China in December 2019, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) soon spread to other countries worldwide including Bangladesh. Mass media and social media platforms played an important role in providing Coronavirus related information and news as they enable people to share news as well as personal experiences with one another rapidly. Since little is known about COVID-19, various fake news spread across social media that panicked people into making panic decisions. The primary objective of this study is to examine how social media is spreading fake or unauthentic news during the time of COVID-19 pandemic. This study also focuses on how the university students of Bangladesh are playing their roles in the spread of fake news in social media. An online survey was conducted to reach a wide number of university students who own at least one social media account. A well-structured questionnaire was designed containing both open and close ended questions. Google forms was used to build the survey instrument. The questionnaire was distributed to the students using different social media platforms. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and MS Excel. The study showed that the students sometimes received COVID-19 related fake news. The main reason behind the spread of fake news is that people usually do not check the authenticity and reliability of any news before sharing and different social media groups are acting as the birthplace of fake news. The study also showed that most of the students check the authenticity and reliability and they critically evaluate each news before sharing. Majority of the students are fairly confident in detecting fake news in social media. This is the first known attempt in Bangladesh to identify the role of social media in spreading fake news during COVID-19 pandemic.
- Knowledge Management Based Best Practices of Higher Educational Institutes
- Knowledge Management Best Practices are established through leveraged Data Science Technique based on results found on published articles of reputed literature and both advertisements and news items of newspapers. Further, the recognition showed threats to the values of Higher Education such as the quality of courses. As such, a Postgraduate study is conducted to reveal a solution to those kinds of issues in Higher Education. Consequently, based on the proposal of literature to such issues in other contexts, existences of Knowledge Management Practices are revealed in the qualitative paradigm. Meanwhile, the present study questioned whether the confirmed Practices of the Postgraduate study are Best Practices of Higher Educational Institutes. Besides, the Oxford dictionary specifies that practice becomes Best Practice if “commercial or professional procedures that are accepted or prescribed as being correct or most effective”. Accordingly, confirmed practices of Higher Educational Institutes became Best Practices due to the practices that are accepted by the industry of the Postgraduate research through a qualitative paradigm and by the other industries of researches that those reputed publications concerned into the Postgraduate study. Besides, Knowledge Management is an emerging/ emerged era. As such, present research proposes resulting practices of the Postgraduate study as Based Best Practices of Higher Educational Institutes.
- Development of Micro and Pilot Projects, Evaluation of Technologies, and Developing Data/Information Infrastructure
- Successful organizations are continuously looking for better ways to improve efficiency. Knowledge management (KM) in institutions is essentially based on an understanding of knowledge creation and knowledge transfer. At Tarrant County College, we are currently developing a District-wide knowledge management (KM) program. This KM process is implemented via micro pilot projects and processes; and an analysis of current technology, structure, and culture. We carefully try to anticipate challenges we will encounter as the project is executed (geographical distance during a pandemic, cultural barriers, dealing with tacit knowledge…). Next, we carefully begin to create a road map for the KM process including: Establishing objectives, preparing culture change, creating a high-level process, identifying KM/communication/knowledge dissemination gaps, selecting appropriate technology, and deciphering the current status of KM throughout the District. Then, we attempt to implement our KM process via micro pilot projects. We will soon develop methods for evaluating our KM workflow. Our initial results suggest Laserfiche might be able to host 70% of or data and information, however other tools such as ITSM, Microsoft TEAMS, Team Dynamics… will also be needed to host data and information.

- The Impact of Social Isolation Arising from COVID-19 Pandemic on the Use of Customer Service Channels
- The new coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic forced the population to adapt routines, create new habits and adapt to the new reality. A significant change resulting from social isolation was the way that consumers began to seek the provision of services and purchase of products. What was previously done predominantly in physical stores, started to be carried out by digital channels, according to the customers' preference. Because it provides essential services, Companhia Águas de Joinville (CAJ) also needed to adapt, creating conditions for digital service for 100% of customer demands. However, the simple availability does not mean immediate adhesion by the population, as customers have their preferences. This article intends to demonstrate how the migration of face-to-face service to other channels in Basic Sanitation behaved in Joinville and what the consumer preferred during the quarantine.

- Human Knowledge Problems, Knowledge Activities, and the Activities’ Effects
- Knowledge is the central component of knowledge management (KM); it comes into existence, is managed, and has effects through the activities performed upon it and the results of those activities. Much of the foundational KM literature identifies and classifies these activities (Baskerville, Dulipovici, 2006; Becerra-Fernandez, 2005; Evans, Ali, 2013; Evans, Dalkir, Bidian, 2014; Girard, Girard, 2015; Pee, Kankanhalli, 2009; Mohajan, 2016; Sajeva, 2010). We propose an extension of these activity classifications.
