The information technology industry is characterized by high employee turnover. Previous research on employee turnover has focused on elucidating the antecedents of turnover and suggesting staff retention strategies. However, little research has been devoted to studying how the undesirable effects of IT turnover can be mitigated. As a result of turnover, information system development (ISD) tea...

In human memory, forgetting plays a crucial role for focusing on important things and neglecting irrelevant details. In digital memories, the idea of systematic forgetting has found little attention, so far. At first glance, forgetting seems to contradict the purpose of archival and preservation. However, we are currently facing a tremendous growth in volumes of digital content. Thus, it become...

We examined the potential cost of practicing suppression of negative thoughts on subsequent performance in an unrelated task. Cues for previously suppressed and unsuppressed (baseline) responses in a think/no-think procedure were displayed as irrelevant flankers for neutral words to be judged for emotional valence. These critical flankers were homographs with one negative meaning denoted by the...

This paper constructs an online community organizational double-layer learning structure model based on exploration-exploitation models. In this way, the authors examine effect how as well heterogeneous teams affects work knowledge performance (OWCOKP) with leaders forgetting and without forgetting. First, results suggest inverted-U relationship between degree of different team member connectiv...

OBJECTIVE To assess the nature of learning and verbal memory deficits in adolescents with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SzS) (i.e., schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophreniform disorder). METHOD Sixty patients with SzS (mean age=16.1 years, S.D. = 2.2) and 60 age- and gender-matched diagnosis-free healthy volunteers were assessed using the California Verbal Learning Test ...

In this paper, we will treat evolving information systems, which support the information needs of an evolving organization. Such a system is able to change at the same pace as the organization does, such that there is no need to interrupt the activities of the organization. Such a system supports changes of all timeand application-dependent aspects. We will present a conceptual framework of an ...

For decades forgetting has been treated as an abnormality, a malfunction of the brain that leads humans to lose stored information. Recent results, however, suggest that forgetting is not only a malfunction of the human storage system, but also a useful feature. In order to guarantee a quick response in the face of the limited processing power of the brain, acting quickly on less or reduced inf...
