Conceptual Paper

In an effort to cope with an increasingly complex environment, characterized by heterogeneous, diffuse or unknown public preferences, public administrations have begun using Web 2.0 internet technology to allow for direct citizen engagement in the generation of new knowledge. The success of such collaborative Web 2.0 websites depends largely on the citizens voluntarily sharing their knowledge. However, uncertainty about the outcome of the collaborative project might hinder citizens’ motivation to share their knowledge. In this conceptual paper we explore antecedents for citizens’ motivation to share their knowledge via collaborative Web 2.0 technologies. We provide a substantial review of literature on voluntary knowledge sharing in organizations which we transfer to the context of citizen-administration collaboration through Web 2.0 technologies. Based on that we formulate propositions on how to foster citizens’ motivation for knowledge sharing and give advice for further research.

The Social

This chapter looks to the future of teaching realism with Web 2.0 technologies. After discussing the ways in which technologies of data modeling can reveal patterns for interpretation, the chapter examines how these technologies can update the social-reform agenda of realism as exemplified by William Dean Howells’s attempted intervention into the Haymarket Riot in 1886. The advent of Web 2.0 techologies offers students a way to harness the genre’s sense of social purpose to knowledge-sharing mechanisms to create a vehicle for political consciousness-raising in real time. The result is “Realism 2.0,” a realism that enables readers to engage in their world, which is less text-centric than it was for previous writers.

Descriptive Survey

<p>Providing more relevant and informative assessment as regards the manner by which science teachers today interact with the learning environment that is constantly being restructured by the fast evolution of the internet technology, this study aimed to investigate whether in urbanized places in Region XI the faculty’s interest to adopt and integrate Web 2.0 technologies to supplement the traditional classroom instruction is affected by their attitude, workplace influence and capability. Specifically, it also assessed whether significant influences of attitude, workplace influence and capability on faculty interest leading to the actual usage of the said technology in the classroom exist. Descriptive survey with correlation approaches was utilized in this study. The data were gathered from the 106 natural science faculty of different academic institutions of urbanized cities in Region XI, Mindanao. In addition, questionnaires were used as instruments to obtain information from the chosen respondents. Pearson product moment correlation was used to determine the strength of the linear relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Stepwise multiple regression analysis for path analysis was used to identify the indicators that best predict faculty interest. Results of the study showed that the faculty’s attitude is described by their perceptions of how useful Web 2.0 technologies are in delivering instruction. Attitude significantly influences the faculty interest to adopt Web 2.0 technologies. Perceived usefulness and compatibility were the significant predictors of attitude. Workplace influence is strongly and positively affected by peers and superiors while capability is strongly and positively affected by self-efficacy.</p>

AbstractThis article elaborates on a model of knowledge sharing in Polish manufacturing enterprises. The author aims to analyse the effectiveness of knowledge sharing in Polish manufacturing enterprises based on the research results gained from the study described in this paper. In particular, the likely consequences and results of knowledge sharing by using Web 2.0 technologies are studied. This is followed by a discussion on the results of the literature and empirical studies. The summary indicates potential directions for further work.

And Performance

This study investigates current research trends in co-production studies and discusses conceptual approaches. The conceptual paper contains studies on co-production in the field of public administration. This study identifies significant gaps in the field of study by systematically examining 32 co-production research works. The study’s contributions include (1) defining two common characteristics of co-production, (2) classifying three forms of co-production by end-users, and (3) discovering that the aims and performance of co-production are more effective for service providers when the strategy is citizen-centric. Future research should (1) concentrate on the reasons for co-production failures or successes, (2) identify additional barriers to co-production in service production, (3) investigate influences on service providers as well as structural impacts on the co-production process, and (4) provide practical assessments of co-production research.
