Survey of Knowledge Workers
Conducted by: Andrea J.
Hester, Ph. D. Student, University of Colorado Denver
The purpose of this survey is to
provide data for my dissertation which involves knowledge management with a
focus on various technologies. I am looking at the factors which motivate
adoption and usage of knowledge management systems with a particular interest
in wiki technology-based systems, although usage of all types of technologies is
pertinent. I am using Innovation Diffusion Theo
ry as the basis of my model with
some additions which I feel are relevant and worth exploring. The results of
this research could provide valuable information to organizations seeking to
improve knowledge management processes and/or implement technological
solutions.
If as part of your work processes
you use some type of knowledge management system, such as Discussion Forum or
Message Board, Blog, Group Decision Support System, Microsoft SharePoint,
Dynamic Database, Web Management System or Intranet, or Wiki Technology-Based
System, then you can provide valuable information for this
research. In return for your time, at the end of the survey you can
choose to enter your name in a drawing for a $50 Best Buy Gift Card, as well as
receive a report on our findings. (Drawing held Thursday, December 11 – just in
time for last minute Christmas shopping!)
If you work for an organization
which would be interested in a report curtailed only to the participants of
your organization, I would gladly create a special link for you to invite your
workers, thus allowing me t
o provide findings based solely on your
organization.
Regardless of how you complete
the survey, it is completely anonymous and you are not required to leave your
name for submission. The survey
consists of 45 questions requiring approximately 15 minutes of your time. Please click the following link to
participate in the survey.
Thank you.
