KNOWLEDGE WORKERS, COMPETENCIES, VIRTUALITY AND MANAGEMENT

Journal Title: Polish Journal of Management Studies - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

In this paper the authors set out to interpret and define the concept of the „knowledge worker” with reference to the context of post-industrial transformation (new economy, information/network/knowledge/learning economy/ society). They are reviewing a three dimensional model applicable for the identification of different types of knowledge workers and discuss in detail various issues with regards their work-related competencies. The economy of emotions and attention as well as the phenomena of virtual work are also explored within the same context.<br/><br/>
