This pilot study aimed to explore technical and social antecedents and benefits of KMS use in a petroleum company in Oman. Data was collected through questionnaire given to KMS users. From the technical perspective, results uncovered that both knowledge utilizers and contributors were concerned about the system ease of use, speed and integration. Knowledge utilizers also valued knowledge richne...

User acceptance is one of the key fundamentals for the development of knowledge management systems (KMS). We propose a model of the factors that influence the contribution to KMS repositories in organizations. We use both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to validate a revised unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). We describe a theoretical framework that incorpora...

Knowledge is increasingly being viewed as a critical component for organizations. It is largely people-based and the characteristics of groups of individuals, in the form of organizational cultures, may play a key role in the factors that lead to either the acceptance or rejection of knowledge management systems (KMS). The primary objective of this research is to explore how dimensions of organ...

Supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 69 is morphologically characterized by the brightened radio, infrared, and X-ray emission on the southeastern rim, with the 1720 MHz OH masers detected in northeastern and southeastern regions at various LSR velocities. We have performed a millimeter observation in CO and HCO lines toward Kes 69. From the northeastern compact maser region, the CO and CO emission’s pe...

This study examines the factors affecting the adoption and practice of knowledge management system (KMS) in Taiwan life insurance industry, using a mixed methodology approach. The research was carried out in three phases: field study, pilot survey and main survey. The main survey data were analyzed through Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique. The results indicate that the external factors aff...

Organizations invest heavily in knowledge management systems (KMS) to improve integration of knowledge across different contexts, to foster new insights and produce innovation. Yet many initiatives fail. This research investigates how knowledge workers’ innovativeness and knowledge reuse are affected by different aspects of perceived support for innovation and the KMS they use to support their ...

Supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 69 is morphologically characterized by brightened radio, infrared, and X-ray emission on the southeastern rim, with the 1720 MHz OH masers detected in the northeastern and southeastern regions at various local standard rest (LSR) velocities. We have performed a millimeter observation in CO and HCO lines toward Kes 69. From the northeastern compact maser region, CO an...

Earlier research has shown the impact of national culture on the development, roll-out, and usage of cross-national information systems (IS) projects. This study builds on and extends this research by exploring the influence of national culture within the setting of Knowledge Management Systems (KMS). Employing a case study approach, the study analyses the cross-national development and rollout...

Monitoring system usage Organizations should monitor end users’ usage of KMSs to enhance the acceptance and use of the systems. Promoting success stories and best practices Through promoting success stories and best practices arising from the use of KMSs, more and more end users will be encouraged to get involved and be part of the systems. Satisfying needs continuously Organizations should kee...
