We leverage the DeLone and McLean I...

This paper discusses a longitudinal study that explored the relationship between use of organizational memory and knowledge (OM/K) and knowledge worker productivity within the engineering group at a nuclear power plant. Three data points were taken over five years. An OM/K System (OM/KS) was identified that improved effectiveness/productivity of the organization. The basic components of the OM/...

other out-of-school youth programs, relies heavily on volunteers to extend its reach with youth clientele. Volunteers serve as the direct educator to youth, and thus are often described as the “heart and soul of 4-H” (Radhakrishna and Ewing 2011). Not enough is known about when and how 4-H volunteer educators change their pedagogical practices. The educational value of design-based science teac...
