Knowledge management and continuous improvement are key success factors that are applied in organizations independently; However, there is a significant relationship between the two, therefore organizations that seek to be leaders in their sector must analyze them together. Considering that universities have a leading role and must transcend the expectations of our society, I have considered it pertinent to carry out this article whose purpose is to establish the relationship between Knowledge Management and Continuous Improvement in a Private University from Lima, Peru. It has a quantitative approach because statistical analysis was used to test what was established in the hypotheses. The design is non-experimental, cross-sectional, since information is presented as it occurs in reality and in a given time, it is transectional, correlational, because it measures and evaluates the relationship between the variables. The sample is made up of 45 individuals between heads of areas and school coordinators, to whom a questionnaire with 32 questions was applied, whose data were processed in the statistical program SPSS version 25. Finally, the significant relationship between management of the knowledge and continuous improvement, obtaining a Spearman Rho, 0.730, at the 1% level of significance. Likewise, the findings affirm that the phases of creating, storing, applying and transferring knowledge also have a significant relationship with continuous improvement.

<p><em>Job burnout issue is an increasingly important phenomenon in Asian countries. </em><em>Based on the model of casual turnover this study assessed the direct effect of organizational commitment on job burnout. The cross sectional data was collected from three hundred five nurses of psychiatric hospitals in Punjab, Pakistan. Structural equation modeling was applied to achieve the objectives. The results revealed that only and normative commitment have significant impact while affective commitment and continuous commitment has not significant effect on nurse’s job burnout.  So, the commitment of nurse to hospital goals, missions, and values is not enough to predict her job burnout in the hospital. This study recommends that future researchers should examine the impact of work environment on job burnout as a </em><em>unidimensional</em><em>.

QNWL merupakan variabel independen dan burnout syndrome variabel dependennya. Data diperoleh melalui kuesioner. Besar sampel sejumlah 30 responden yang diperoleh secara purposive sampling. Analisa data dilakukan dengan Spearman Rank Test dengan p value 0,009 dan coefisien correlation -0,56 yang menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan dengan tingkatan sedang antara QNWL dengan kejadian burnout syndrome dengan arah hubungan negatif, artinya semakin baik QNWL maka semakin meminimalkan burnout syndrome. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi QNWL adalah lingkungan kerja yang kondusif, oleh karena itu diharapkan kepada perawat untuk dapat menjalin kerjasama yang baik antar tim agar tercipta suasana kerja yang harmonis dan lingkungan kerja yang harmonis, dengan demikian maka akan menurunkan kejadian burnout pada perawat. One of the HR (Human Resources) in a hospital that has the longest time with patients is a nurse. In the provision of quality nursing care required a good performance. There are several things that affect performance, one of which is quality nursing work life (QNWL). Nurses with high workloads and monotonous work designs are prone to experiencing burnout syndrome (work stress). This study aims to determine the relationship of QNWL with burnout syndrome. Correlational and cross sectional design was used in this study. QNWL is an independent variable and burnout syndrome is the dependent variable. Data obtained through a questionnaire. The sample size of 30 respondents obtained by purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed with the Spearman Rank Test with p value 0.009 and the correlation coefficient of -0.56 which showed that there was a moderate level of correlation between QNWL and the incidence of burnout syndrome with the direction of the negative relationship, meaning that the better QNWL, the more minimizing burnout syndrome. One of the factors that influence QNWL is a conducive work environment, therefore it is expected that nurses will be able to establish good cooperation between teams in order to create a harmonious work atmosphere and a harmonious work environment, thereby reducing the incidence of burnout to nurse

PurposeThere is an increased interest for introducing activity-based offices at universities. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the knowledge about the importance of the built environment for the psychosocial work environment within academia by analyzing how staff at a large Swedish university experienced the physical and psychosocial work environment before and after moving to activity-based offices.Design/methodology/approachA Web-based survey was distributed to all employees at two faculties at a university three months before (2015,n= 217, response rate 51 per cent) and nine months after (2016,n= 200, response rate 47 per cent) relocation to a new activity-based university building.FindingsIn the new premises, a vast majority (86 per cent) always occupied the same place when possible, and worked also more often from home. The social community at work had declined and social support from colleagues and supervisors was perceived to have decreased. The participants reported a lower job satisfaction after the relocation and were more likely to seek new jobs. No aspects in the physical or psychosocial work environment were found to have improved after the relocation.Research/limitations implicationsThe study had a two-wave cross-sectional design, which does not allow establishing causal relations.Practical implicationsThere is reason to be cautious about relocation to activity-based offices at universities. The potential savings in costs for premises may lead to may be followed by an increase in other costs. The risk that staff cannot concentrate on their work in activity-based university workplaces and lose their sense of community with colleagues are factors, which in the long run may lead to decreased efficiency, more conflicts and poorer well-being.Originality/valueThis paper contributes with new knowledge concerning changes in the physical and psychosocial work environment when relocating from cell offices to activity-based offices in a university setting.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the highest priority among infectious diseases in the world today with increasing morbidity and mortality every year. Adherence to treatment plays an important role in the success of therapy among TB patients. This study aims to explore the relationship between demographic characteristics, knowledge, and medication compliance behavior among patients with tuberculosis in Indonesia. This study was descriptive correlational and cross-sectional design with the total sample was 150 tuberculosis confirmed in Medan Pulmonary Hospital, Indonesia. In this study found that there is a significant relationship between ethnicity and medication adherence (continues variable) with p = 0.01. Meanwhile when medication compliance behavior was treated as categorical variables, a significant relationship was found between medication compliance behavior and medical history (p = 0.03), smoking (p = 0.005), and alcohol (p = 0.03) among tuberculosis patients in Indonesia. In the multivariate analysis, multiple linear regression was performed which surprisingly shows that education was significantly associated with knowledge of TB (p = 0,02), and ethnicity (0.04).
