20.500.12556/RUL-125331 Knowledge management in social work management support, incentives, knowledge implementation, and employee empowerment Management znanja v socialnem delu podpora managementa, spodbude, implementacija znanja in opolnomočenje zaposlenih In this article, we build on the current research about knowledge management in social work settings to demonstrate that knowledge management has the potential to enable social work organizations to influence public policies and improve the quality of their services. By increasing awareness and information about knowledge management in the field of social work, our goal is to examine a direct positive relationship between management support and incentives and knowledge implementation. In addition, as we wanted to explore the moderating effect of employee empowerment on knowledge implementation, we define and test several hypotheses in order to discover how management support, incentives and employee empowerment impact knowledge implementation in social work settings. We use moderation regression to test our hypotheses with a sample of 98 managers and employees of social work organizations in Slovenia who completed a questionnaire specifically prepared for the study. The study results support the existence of a significant and positive relationship between management support and incentives with knowledge implementation. Employee empowerment also acts as a moderator in the relationship between incentives and knowledge implementation, however, the interaction term is negative. In any case, the highest levels of knowledge implementation occur when employee empowerment is high as well. In the conclusion of the paper, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications derived from the research study. V članku gradiva na sedanjih raziskavah o managementu znanja v okolju socialnega dela, da bi prikazala kako lahko management znanja organizacijam v okolju socialnega dela pomaga pri oblikovanju javnih politik in izboljša kakovost njihovih storitev. S povečevanjem znanja in ozaveščenosti o managementu znanja na področju socialnega dela, je najin cilj preučiti neposredno pozitivno povezavo med podporo managementa in spodbudami ter implementacijo znanja v praksi. Poleg tega, sva želela raziskati moderacijski učinek opolnomočenja zaposlenih na implementacijo znanja. Definirava in testirava več hipotez, da bi ugotovila kako podpora managementa, spodbude in opolnomočenje zaposlenih vplivajo na implementacijo znanja v okolju socialnega dela. Za preizkus hipotez, uporabiva moderacijsko regresijo na vzorcu 98 managerjev in zaposlenih v centrih za socialno delo v Sloveniji, ki so izpolnili vprašalnik, posebej pripravljen za potrebe študije. Rezultati raziskave potrdijo statistično značilno in pozitivno razmerje med podporo managementa in spodbudami ter implementacijo znanja. Opolnomočenje zaposlenih je moderator razmerja med spodbudami in implementacijo znanja, a velja izpostaviti, da je interakcijski učinek negativen. Rezultati študije prikažejo, da se najvišje stopnje implementacije znanja v praksi pojavijo, ko je tudi opolnomočenje zaposlenih visoko. V zaključku prispevka, obravnavava teoretične in praktične implikacije, ki izhajajo iz najine raziskave. knowledge management social work management support incentives knowledge implementation employee empowerment organizacija znanje management prenos znanja management znanja socialno delo podpora managementa spodbode implementacija znanja opolnomočenje zaposlenih true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-03-11 08:41:06 2021-03-11 08:47:37 2022-09-05 03:50:12 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 Str. 383-414, 446 no. 3 Vol. 22 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 005.3 1580-0466 10.15458/ebr107 54473475 103864832 RAZ_Colnar_Simon_2020.pdf RAZ_Colnar_Simon_2020.pdf 1 A560E0134AFC5C34669F181C50D59CD6 51b3213287cb1b69b5efbf4e071f8955d56afe274273a213528d6d7735716c3c b0c4a1fd-a1bb-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=141012 http://ojs.ebrjournal.net/ojs/index.php/ebr/article/view/799 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=141011 Ekonomska fakulteta Economic and business review 0 0 0
