Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Knowledge workers are a relatively new phenomenon that has until recently been
scarcely researched. Within the intellectual capital metaphor and under the title of
knowledge management, knowledge workers are being researched. Knowledge
workers are critical elements in knowledge creation and capitalisation. Knowledge
workers are important human resource capital that can create a competitive advantage
for organisations.
After the completion of a series of questionnaires by workers, certain knowledge
worker characteristics have been identified with correlation with a knowledge worker
measurement index. These characteristics have been used to formulate implications
and recommendations regarding the management of knowledge workers in the
postmodern knowledge era.
It is necessary that management understand the knowledge worker within the
intellectual capital metaphor and knowledge management tradition, so that the
knowledge worker can be capitalized to a maximum. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kenniswerkers is 'n redelike nuwe fenomeen wat tot dusver betreklik min nagevors is.
Binne die intellektuele kapitaal-metafoor en onder die vaandel van kennisbestuur,
word die bestuur van kenniswerkers in die navorsing onder die soeklig geplaas.
Kenniswerkers IS kritiese elemente III kennisskepping en -kapitalisering.
Kenniswerkers is belangrike menslike hulpbronkapitaal wat vir die organisasie 'n
kompeterende voordeel kan verskaf.
'n Reeks vraelyste is aan werknemers gegee en kenniswerkereienskappe is
geïdentifiseer d.m.v. korrellasie met 'n kenniswerker-metingsindeks. Hierdie
eienskappe is gebruik om afleidings en aanbevelings te maak vir die bestuur van die
kenniswerker in die post-moderne kennisera.
Dit is nodig dat bestuur die kenniswerker binne die intellektuele kapitaal-metafoor en
kennisbestuurstradisie verstaan, sodat die kenniswerker as kritiese hulpbron
maksimaal gekapitaliseer kan word.
