The role of employee engagement on knowledge management and worker productivity: a case study in Sri Lanka
(Korea Distribution Science Association, 2021-03-02) Kaldeen, M; Thelijjagoda, S; Samsudeen, S. N
Knowledge-Worker Productivity (KWP) has been influenced by Knowledge Management Process (KMP); however, past studies derived inconsistent findings of the relationship between the two variables. Additionally, the effect of KMP on KWP in the context of universities in Sri Lanka has not been adequately studied. Therefore, this present study aims to fill that gap by examining KMP elements’ effect, namely knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, and usage on KWP, specifically the timeliness, proficiency, and independence of employees. This study also examines the role of employee engagements (i.e., intellectual, social, and affective) in mediating the effect of KMP on KWP. The questionnaire survey method was utilized to collect data from relevant university employees, i.e., lecturers, senior lecturers, and professors, whereby 264 valid responses were used in the analysis. The associations between KMP, Employee Engagement, and KWP were analyzed using the path analysis and bootstrapping methods. The outcomes demonstrated positive correlations between all three variables. Employee Engagement was shown to have a partial mediating effect on the KMP-KWP association. The general conclusion is that KWP is influenced by its capacity to increase employee engagement via KMP

SRI LANKA QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK (SLQF) AND SIGNIFICANCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION
(Yunnan Publishing Group Corporation and Yunnan People's Publishing House, 2015-04-18) Wickramsinghe, S; Peiris, C. N; Peiris, S
The Sri Lankan Qualifications Framework (SLQF) is a nationally consistent framework for all higher education qualifications offered in Sri Lanka. It recognizes the volume of learning of students and identifies the learning outcomes that are to be achieved by the qualification holders. With the objective of having a uniform system in naming a qualification, the designators and qualifiers of each qualification have been identified in the SLQF. The purposes and characteristics of each qualification as well as the minimum admission requirements are also stated in the SLQF. SLQF integrates the National Vocational Qualifications Framework (NVQF) developed by the Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission and the pathways of lateral mobility between the vocational education sector and higher education sector have also been identified. SLQF helps in the recognition of accredited prior learning in order to facilitate the vertical mobility within the higher education system. Until the development of SLQF there had been no mechanism to evaluate the qualifications offered by higher education institutions in Sri Lanka. In addition, the SLQF will be helpful to the potential employers to know the level of learning and the attributes of a particular qualification holder. SLQF is useful to the higher education institutions, both in the public and private sector in designing their courses as the minimum level of learning effort required for each qualification is indicated by way of the minimum number of credits that should be earned by a qualification holder. Thus, the SLQF will contribute towards strengthening the quality of higher education qualifications offered by the universities and other higher education institutions in Sri Lanka.

A study of the usage of information systems in higher education: An exploratory review
(International Journal of Advanced Studies in Computers, Science and Engineering, 2015-04-01) Gunawardhana, D. N. T; Perera, H. S. C
Since Information Systems have become an essential requirement in every field it is important to scrutinize the behavior of information system in higher education sectors. Failure rates of Information Systems are being increasing among all sectors than success rates mostly in developing countries when considering the past research of Information System Development. Importance and application of Information Systems in higher education sectors have been taken considerable weight when making decisions to implement or purchase an Information System to academic institutions. This article aims to provide a brief discussion and clear direction regarding practices of information Systems in higher education sectors. Higher education institutions and universities around the world have been developed Information Systems to manage academic, nonacademic and administrative processes according to literature. An in-depth review of the existing literature has been done to meet the objective of this study. A variety of studies across several different countries and academic industries have been taken into account for identifying the effect of Information System in higher education. Hopefully, this article will add some additional information to the decision makers of Information Systems to make the system more viable and also achieve correct decisions to implement in the Information Systems.
