The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationships between individual study work and lecturer support, and students' academic success, as well as the influence of individual study work and lecturer support on students' academic success. The mixed approach is the method used in the study. A random cluster sample of students and a purposive sample of lecturers, a structured questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview were selected to be used in the study. The study demonstrated that individual study work influences strongly students' academic success, meanwhile lecturer support does not influence it. At the same time, students' academic success has been explained strongly by individual study work and lecturer support. This study is one of a very small number of studies reporting similar results.

Since a decade, ample amount of text data is being generated through various web sources in online or offline scenarios. This huge amount of data is mainly inconsistent and non-structured format, so hard to process through computing machines available. With the advent of computers and the information age, statistical and analytical problems have also grown both in the size and complexity. Text classification using various machine learning mechanisms encounters the difficulty of the high dimensionality of attributes vector. Therefore, a feature selection technique is very much required to discard irrelevant as well as noisy attributes from the feature set vector so that the ML algorithms can work efficiently. In this paper, a hybrid method is proposed for text documents classification. Further, proposed method's performance is evaluated on standard datasets, i.e., Reuters-21578 and 20 newsgroups. We opted 'bydate' version of the dataset containing 18,941 documents. Through our experiments, we attempted to explore the various performance measures.

This study aims to analyse the relationship between organisational learning and organisational performance, establishing a typology of hotels that give origin of a series of competitive advantages linked to the organisational learning process and deepening the knowledge creation model. In order to achieve the results, a questionnaire has been distributed among the hotel establishments in the Community of Valencia in Spain, performing both an exploratory factorial analysis and a cluster analysis. The results show that hotels which facilitate more organisational learning gain more clients' loyalty and that outsourcing is the most used process by hotels that are related to the knowledge creation. The study has only been applied in the Valencian Community and the information collected comes from the perceptions of senior managers of hotel establishments. Considering the achieved results, it is recommendable that hotels learn from customers' expectations during their stays.

Personalising education is one of the 16 grand challenges as per the National Academy of Engineering, USA. Measuring the outcomes of education and the progress of learning has an essential role in generating personalised feedbacks and recommendations in personalised learning. The data obtained by traditional assessment tools like written and oral examinations, mass assignments do not reflect the real state of the student's knowledge and progress of learning. Learning activities outside the classroom are not observable adding to the imprecision of recommendations. This paper share one of our assessment practice called 'open assessment method' developed and practiced during 2012-2015 along with the design of a decision support system. It is built around a 'class activity sheet' with Google technologies, enhances the observability of the learning environment. This technological adaption leads to improvement in student's participation, generating data useful for composing recommendations on a personal basis with teacher's interventions.

Semantic web technologies are applied in a wide spectrum of applications including search engines, web services discovery and composition, semantic tags and electronic assessment of e-learning systems. Recently, the field of electronic assessment has grabbed the attention of many researchers. Electronic assessment is a real challenge taking to consideration the diversity of question types. E-assessment of answers to open questions has created new challenges regarding extracting students' answers using natural language processing techniques and infer new knowledge using description logic reasoning. To be able to automate the process of assessing the students' answers, they have to be annotated with semantics. This paper presents a thorough survey of significant research efforts that adopt semantic annotation to enhance the process of e-assessment. Moreover, in this paper, we propose a semantic-based framework that automates the process of electronically assessing the answers of questions on e-learning systems based on their semantic descriptions.

This paper highlights the relationship between students' psychological characteristics with exhaustion, cynicism, and academic inefficacy. A sample of 247 students from Iranian colleges of agriculture participated in this study. A questionnaire was used to obtain information on studied variables including demographic characteristics, goal orientation, intelligence beliefs, general self-efficacy beliefs, and so on. Reliability and validity of instrument were determined through opinions of professors and application of Cronbach's alpha. The findings revealed that there were significant correlations between students' psychological characteristics with exhaustion, cynicism, and academic inefficacy. Finally, the findings showed that the most dominant determinant of exhaustion was general self-efficacy belief with a total effect of −0.400. Incremental intelligence belief and entity intelligence belief had the most effects on cynicism and academic inefficacy, with a total effect of −0.437 and 0.448, respectively. The findings have implications for professors to use teaching methods that encourage effective engagement of students in learning and for counsellors to give useful educational and psychological advices to students.

In this 21st century, the importance of knowledge transfer is evident in all the organisation. There are two reasons. First, knowledge appears to be an increasing proportion of the total asset. Second, the advance in information technology has created new means of knowledge transfer. Effective knowledge transfer can improve the organisation performance and gain competitive advantage. There is only a limited research done on the knowledge transfer in non-profit organisations. This paper tries to highlight the relevance of knowledge transfer and the factors contributing to it in non-profit organisations and how it shapes various organisational processes. A qualitative study has been used in this research considering 4 non-governmental organisations in the Southern state of Kerala, India. The primary data has been collected through unstructured interview and the secondary data from the reports, newsletters, articles, organisational, and websites. Content analysis and other exploratory methods using Nvivo software have been used to analyse the data. The outcome of the study would be to provide a framework that intends to help the non-profit organisations to plan, conduct and evaluate the efforts which are used to transfer knowledge with others.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the soft elements of critical success factors and perceived benefits of knowledge management (KM) in higher learning institutions which can lead to the development of the KM model for higher learning institutions. The outcomes of this study revealed that organisational culture and top management leadership have a positive relationship with the perceived benefits of KM. Nevertheless, education and training has a negative relationship with the perceived benefits of KM. On the other hand, the employee participation and empowerment through teamwork did not show any relationship with the perceived benefits of KM. The major findings of the study conclude that organisational culture and top management support have a positive relationship with perceived benefits of KM, while the opposite is true for employee participation and empowerment. In conclusion, organisations need to cultivate the right culture and leadership to embrace KM.

Organisational knowledge management (KM) has been well comprehended over the past couple of decades as a significant fragment of leading enterprises. Besides, it is deliberated as an integral module of a business organisation. Additionally, globalisation plays a significant role in how business is conducted leading to innovative technological trends. Social media (SM) tools such as blogs, Wikis, and other social networking platforms have taken the world by storm and are no longer a trivial phenomenon. SM has become a mainstream tool enabling people to connect, communicate, collaborate, producing new possibilities and challenges to facilitate easier, faster, and more widespread sharing of information through this energetic, and intricate information infrastructure. This paper reviews relevant literature on business motives for social software adoption, the benefits, related issues and mitigation of the said issues. Further, it critically analyses SM literature and its effects on KM to better understand the effective usage and potential of related tools and how these enhance business environment and sharing knowledge. This paper explored the relationship between national culture and social media enabled KM.

The study aims to assess the moderating role of organisational size in the relationship between employees' risk taking capabilities and learning inside an organisation. A conceptual model has been framed based upon the 'grounded theory' methodology (Strauss and Corbin, 1990). Structural equation modelling (SEM) has been used to assess the model using AMOS (version 20) on 444 valid responses from entry and middle level IT employees. The findings of the study indicate that size of the organisation plays a significant role in leveraging the risk taking capabilities of employees and fostering continuous learning. Further, medium size organisations are doing better in leveraging risk taking capabilities of employees as compared to small and large organisations. The findings of the study shall help IT companies to develop some interventions in order to strengthen the risk taking capabilities of employees and strengthen overall organisational learning. No such effort has been made to assess the role organisational size in the relationship between employee's risk taking capabilities and learning organisation in Indian context. The study shall contribute in the existing literature and help HR practitioners in building successful learning organisation.
