This study develops a moderated mediation model that explores the link between empowering leadership and older teachers' knowledge-sharing behaviour by focusing on the mediating role of organization-based self-esteem and the moderating role of organizational status. Based on a two-wave survey of 204 older teachers in primary and secondary schools…

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with knowledge management (KM) practices presents a promising avenue for advancing sustainable learning in higher education. However, empirical research exploring this synergy remains limited, particularly in developing countries. This study aimed to investigate the impact of AI-enhanced KM practices on…

Impact is an increasingly significant part of academia internationally, both in centralised assessment processes (for example, UK) and funder drives towards knowledge mobilisation (for example, Canada). However, narrowly focused measurement-centric approaches can encourage short-termism, and assessment paradigms can overlook the scale of effort…

Background: Knowledge brokers facilitate the creation, sharing and use of knowledge among different research, policy and practice communities. This paper examines the way collective knowledge brokering can address the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic boundaries that separate research and practice communities. Methods: A comparative ethnographic…

Purpose: In the context of professional learning networks (PLNs), there are many studies which address knowledge mobilization (KMb). The majority of these focus on how research is mobilized by various actors. This paper explores the concepts of KMb both on an individual and an organizational level and discusses the role of PLN participants and…

In this article, we consider the instituting of effective and ethical knowledge management in the arena of public schooling, with reference to a multiple case study involving three schools in Emalahleni Circuit 1, 2 and 3 in South Africa. Teachers, HoDs, administrative clerks, and principals (20 participants altogether) were interviewed in depth…

Connecting research to practice by knowledge brokering in education, which is considered here as functionally synonymous with knowledge mobilisation, is currently under-researched, difficult to define, and not well understood. This narrative synthesis review curates recent research concerning characterisations of knowledge brokering in education,…

The field of knowledge brokering in education--aiming to better connect research to practice--is currently emerging. Evidence of a community dissonance between researchers and practitioners in education suggests that models of knowledge brokering that consider the perspectives and priorities of both groups are required. It is also a priority to…

The academic practitioner divide and strategies to close that gap have been important lines of inquiry in the fields of public administration and public affairs. This study contributes to that significant body of work by reporting results from two surveys of faculty in NASPAA accredited programs and of practitioners affiliated with the…

The private sector has been assigned a leading role in the construction of a global knowledge economy (GKE), and public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been portrayed as the silver bullet that will solve many problems in public education. However, recent research has raised concern about side effects of this mode of operation. It is becoming…

Purpose: Knowledge-sharing is a valuable learning activity among teachers that leads to individual and collective professional development and contributes to students' learning outcomes and school effectiveness. However, teachers are generally weak at knowledge-sharing and are often professionally isolated from colleagues. Regardless of the…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to apply the motivation-opportunity-ability (MOA) framework to investigate the relationships between ambiguity tolerance (AT), reflective thinking (RT) and performance in a complex task to predict knowledge-sharing intent. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, 190 subjects performed a complex scheduling…

This paper argues that colleges anchor their communities by developing knowledge and skills within their region; establishing links and exchanges outside the region; contributing to civic, political, cultural, and social activities and networks in their region; developing facilities and amenities used by the community; and, contributing to their…

Objectives: Amidst the challenges due to the increase in autism cases, autism awareness in Indonesia remains limited, hindering effective identification, intervention, and inclusion. Contributing factors include a lack of professional training, inadequate assessment and evaluation practices, high service costs, persistent stigma, and insufficient…

Background: Research impact is at least partly generated through collaborative interactions, yet the associations between knowledge production and impact are far more complex than relatively simple linear models generally describe. Aims and objectives: In this case study, we focus on a community-university partnership and try to answer the…
