Empirical study on implementation of organizational memory in preparatory center

In the education industry, organizations must strive to optimize human and intellectual capital. Experience, knowledge, and teaching style can be part of the capital which needs to be organized in order to protect the “organizational memory”. Having students who have been selected discretely, and the addition of many courses offered at preparatory center, academic management is the critical unit or key assets that will assist in the organization of the academic memory. Academic memories most of the time will reside with the owner.If memories are not being managed accordingly, the memories become wasted to the institution.Therefore, a lot of wasted memories occur due to retired staff, contract termination, and replacement or death. Hence, the aim of this study is to 1) identify the person in charge of memory for academic purposes,2) identify memories of INTEC and 3)propose an appropriate organizational memory framework or model for INTEC.Finally this study will be beneficial to researchers and practitioner who are interested in applying OM in an academic institution

LEIQ™ as an emotion and importance model for QoL: fundamentals and case studies

Past literature has increasingly highlighted the importance of understanding people’s emotional responses towards the characteristics of everything that has points of interactions with the people. Ever since it was introduced, research relating the emotional responses to the economic power of industrial products, hospitality services, as well as employees’ or peoples’ productivity has been expanding. This paper presents a model called Lokman’s Emotion and Importance Quadrant (LEIQ)™, which was built based on axes of emotion vs. importance, to investigate emotion and the importance of the influential factors of the emotion. The paper presents two case studies; i) Employee’s Happiness, ii) Student’s Well-being, with the implementation of LEIQ™ to showcase the process to discover the indicators that affect people’s emotion, and its importance to the people in the effort to provide information to the leaders or management advocates for their strategic decision-making in ensuring well-being and Quality of Life (QoL). Both case studies have enabled the research to understand factors that affect Employee’s Happiness and Student’s Well-being, and how it is important to them. The effective use of this model could facilitate decision makers in an organisation, community, society, and even a nation at large to gain knowledge and devise correct strategies to boost people’s well-being, promoting more positive emotion, and ultimately upsurge productivity and QoL of the people

Organizational memory information system case study in Faculty of Computer Science & Information System, UTM

The paper purposes IS to evaluate the need for organizational memory information system (OMIS) in Faculty of Computer Science and Information System to improve academic management. Approach adopted in this research is to implement OMIS characteristics. After examining few models of organizational memory in literature review, OMIS characteristics is identified for implementation and success factor model to assess the OMIS. There are three possible forms of OMIS, namely paper documents, computer documents and self-memory. IT-based memory is quasi-permanent; knowledge is logged, indexed, secured and organized in such a way that it becomes accessible. IT contributes to organizational memory in at least two ways; by making accumulated knowledge accessible to organization members or by making individuals with knowledge known. OMIS could be achieved by effectively applying framework of OMIS, which include elements of individual, culture, transformation, structure, ecology, external environment, computer based information system and non-IT record and files. This paper indicates that there are 5 blocks of success factor to evaluate OMIS implementation; system quality, information quality, success measure in terms of usage, individual impact and organizational impact. The research is proposed as a prototype to be implemented for the whole module of FSKSM in order to protect their intellectual capital and optimizing the efficiency by managing organizational memory. The paper provides details of solution to academic management on the approach to making organizational memory information system work in practice. The approaches to manage memories in the model have yielded a number of benefits as demonstrated by a case study. This work will be beneficial to researchers and practitioner who are interested in applying OMIS in organization

Sistem maklumat memori organisasi di FSKSM

Data, information and knowledge have increased within organization across time. Then it becomes wasted memories because of retired staffs, died or removes to another place. This could give great impact when intellectual capital did not being used wisely for future purposes. Unit of academic management contains the main critical memories for Faculty of Computer Science and Information System. It needs to be managed accordingly. Otherwise, time, money and energy are wasted when the same work, research and finding information needed have to be done repeatedly. The lost may affect towards the quality of faculty curriculum. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to implement information technology in organizational memory of FSKSM through organizational memory information system (OMIS). A metadata will be build based on approved curriculum as a memories repository. This system is proposed as a prototype to be implemented for the whole module of FSKSM in order to protect their intellectual capital and optimizing the efficiency by managing organizational memory

Requirement Analysis of E-Content for Visual Learners

This paper studies on IT Project Management (ITS510) subject which is taught by using textbook and simple PowerPoint slides. Due to ineffectiveness of teaching materials, this scenario becomes one of the reasons that affect the studentsâ?? result. Therefore, this study has been proposed specifically for visual learners to attract their attention in class. The objective of this study is to identify the user requirements of visual learners for E-content. ADDIE Model has been selected to complete this project. This model consists of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation phases. In this study, the researchers only focused on analysis phase. The questionnaire had been distributed to get the requirements from visual learner users. It is hoped that the requirement analysis can be used as an idea to design and develop future E-content for visual learners. At the end, it can give a lot of benefits to learners where they can access the content everywhere and anytime without time constraint. While, for educators, the E-content can help them to improve their teaching styles and it can be used as an aided tool to teach students in class

Exploring indicators for happiness and its effect to people's emotion using LEIQ(TM)

Many assumptions were made about people's dissatisfaction with their daily lives, such as debt burden, social problems, unstable economic conditions, health problems, cost of living, lack of job opportunities, lack of educational support, and so on. The positive or negative emotional experience is distinctive between individuals or groups of people who share similar life experiences. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the emotional responses of a specific population to daily obstacles that may be related to the mentioned scenarios. The Lokman's Emotion and Importance Quadrant (LEIQ)TM, which was built on axes of emotion vs. importance, was used in this study to discover the importance of the identified indicators to the people’s happiness. The model is based on the idea that accurate strategies to improve people's quality of life can be devised by classifying indicators that contribute to people's emotions and understanding their importance to the people who interact with the stimuli. The findings of this study will eventually enable the identification of indicators that significantly influence people's positive or negative emotional states, which can then be used by stakeholders to devise effective strategies for future improvements
