Influence Of User Expertise, Task Complexity And Knowledge Management Support On Knowledge Seeking Strategy And Task Performance

چکیده
Knowledge management systems (KMSs) have become increasingly popular as knowledge-seeking tools in many organizations, but little is known about how people search for knowledge from the KMS. The results of a field experiment indicated that (1) the interaction between user expertise and task complexity affects the user’s adoption of ask-directed search and browsing strategies; (2) when a user’s perceived knowledge content quality is high, the interaction between user expertise and task complexity affects the user’s adoption of ask-directed search and browsing strategies; (3) when a user’s perceived KMS quality is high, the interaction between user expertise and task complexity affects the user’s adoption of ask-directed search and browsing strategies; and (4) task completion time and task quality are associated with the user’s adoption of ask-directed search strategies; user satisfaction is associated with the user’s adoption of ask-directed search and browsing strategies. Finally, theoretical and practical implications from the findings are provided.

This study examined the effects of task complexity on written narrative production under different task complexity conditions by EFL learners at different proficiency levels. Task complexity was manipulated along Robinson’s (2001b) proposed task complexity dimension of Here-and-Now (simple) vs. There-and-Then (complex) in. Accordingly, three specific measures of the written narratives were targ...
