Abstract

The current pandemic context has highlighted the importance of remote work in companies. Typically associated with management work, telework can also be applied to several other areas, in particular innovation. Through a quantitative study, by means of a questionnaire survey to a sample of 115 individuals, we analysed the causality relationship of the variables according to the conceptual model elaborated and tested using structural equations. Thus, the results confirm the importance knowledge management process in a teleworking environment, and how these constructs, individually and together, influence organisational innovation. It was also found the mediating effect on the stages of the knowledge management process (knowledge acquisition, exploration and sharing). Organisations that have a culture that favours communication and sharing, even in telework, and have innovative strategies to manage knowledge will see an impact of knowledge management on innovation of the way it relates to others.

劳动力敏捷性:如何在远程工作环境中管理知识和创新

当前的疫情背景凸显了公司远程工作的重要性。远程办公通常与管理工作相关，也可以应用于其他几个领域，特别是创新。通过定量研究，通过对115名个体的问卷调查，根据构建的概念模型分析了变量之间的因果关系，并用结构方程进行了检验。因此，结果证实了知识管理过程在远程工作环境中的重要性，以及这些结构如何单独和共同影响组织创新。在知识管理过程的三个阶段(知识获取、知识探索和知识共享)中也发现了中介效应。拥有有利于沟通和共享文化的组织，即使在远程工作中，也有创新的知识管理策略，这些组织将看到知识管理对创新与其他人联系方式的影响。

期刊介绍： The objective of IJASM is to establish an effective channel of communication between academia, industry and persons concerned with the design and development of systems. Change is eternal and perpetual, irrespective of type of system. Systems created in the course of the advance of human civilization need to be functionally and operationally sustainable amid changes in technological, political, socio-economical, financial, cultural and other environmental challenges. IJASM aims to promote and harmonize knowledge developments in the emerging fields of agile systems research, sustainability and vulnerability analysis, risk assessments methodologies, complex systems science, e-organisation and e-supply chain management, with emphasis on the international dimension, particularly breaking cultural barriers, and on national contexts, globalisation and new business practices. As such, we aim to publish papers presenting new research, innovative theoretical approaches, changes in agile management paradigms, and action (both examples of successes and failures as long as there are important lessons to be learned) from leading scholars and practitioners. Papers generally fall into two broad categories: those grounded in theory and/or papers using scientific research methods (e.g., reports of original empirical studies, models, critical reviews of existing empirical research, theory pieces that clearly extend current thinking); and those focusing on innovative agile approaches that are based on well reasoned extensions of existing research, experiential knowledge, or exemplary cases (e.g., thought pieces, case studies, etc).
