Abstract:
Work organisations in the knowledge economy depend on a different talent: knowledge workers, whose tacit knowledge is valuable to employers in the quest for a competitive advantage. Knowledge work and its concomitant reliance on information and communication technologies facilitate flexible work arrangements (FWA), which in turn enable crossing of spatial and temporal boundaries. These new ways of working are often recommended for women to retain their careers, resolve work-life balance issues and achieve their full potential. However, there is a dearth of studies into experiences of women kno

Abstract:
It has been proven that there is a connection between the physical environment and health outcomes. Low income and minority communities live in hazardous environments and bear a disproportionate burden of environmental health disparities. Environmental hazards imposed on low income and minority communities require the immediate attention of social workers. Social workers are in a unique position to ensure that the health and well being of oppressed groups is not compromised by environmental factors. This study examined the environmental health awareness of 90 licensed social workers. More spec

Abstract:
Companies within the high-technology industry are largely dependent on a specialised knowledge base to make advances in technological innovations and maintain a competitive advantage. Technology start-ups (TSUs) have limited resources and face various organisational challenges which place them at a disadvantage in the recruitment of skilled knowledge workers. This research investigates the factors which attract highly skilled knowledge workers to technology start-ups (TSUs) in South Africa, despite their numerous challenges. This study used a mixed method design involving 129 knowledge workers
