“…The knowledge produced by Universities needs to be shared, appropriated and adequately managed as it is considered a valuable intangible asset and a generator of competitive advantages (Muralanda et al, 2019). Due to its capacity to increase innovation (Looney and Lyman, 2000;Acevedo-Correa et al, 2019), which, together with other actors, contributes to the innovative development of a country, as a power to improve and change society (De Moortel and Crispeels, 2018;Acevedo-Correa et al, 2020), which leads to developing management strategies and increasing productivity through research (De Molero et al, 2017). Knowledge transfer in universities occurs during the students' research training period with the collaboration of their professors.…”

PurposeThe main objective of this work is to design a statistical multiple regression model that helps to empirically explain the impact of economic incentives, management style, emotional health and research activities on university professors in northern Mexico and their perception of happiness.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, the authors analysed the correlation between happiness perception and four independent variables divided into two dimensions: 1. individual dimensions: emotional health and research activities and 2. organisational dimensions: economic incentives and management styles. A questionnaire was developed, tested and analysed for this matter. The authors applied this instrument to 384 university professors of both genders among 1301 in the region.FindingsUsing correlational analysis, the authors confirm a strong and statically significant relationship between all variables. It is also no evidence of multicollinearity. Finally, by applying multiple regression analysis, it was accepted that all independent variables have significance in explaining the emergence of personal happiness (R2 = 42%). Finally, the predictive equation presents possible results with values that confirm the effectiveness of the theoretical model. Results indicate that happiness perception is related to independent variables, with economic incentives being the most vital relationship.Research limitations/implicationsThis study's limitations are that the novel perspective of the explanatory variables of economic incentives, emotional health, management style and research activities needs additional confirmatory studies. Therefore, the authors need to perform studies with new explanatory perspectives. Another limitation of the study may be considering a cross-sectional and not a longitudinal model. This study considered it more appropriate to analyse the explanatory variables that influence and are the outcome of happiness perception for the data collected. Finally, it is essential to highlight that this research has been conducted in an underdeveloped country. Thus, it should consider conducting subsequent confirmatory studies in similar settings and other types of economies, such as in a developed country.Practical implicationsThis paper explains the relevance of two-dimensional activities in the happiness perception of professors. As other studies mention, productivity is correlated to happiness, and production outcomes could be improved if the schools implement policies to promote this perception. Happiness could be a solid strategy to improve academic outcomes, and the results propose several actions to achieve this goal.Social implicationsThis paper addresses an important activity of professors from a perspective of happiness perception. Thus, putting the professor as the leading relevant agent in schools, the authors propose a multivariate analysis of the outcomes of professors' jobs. Both the schools and the professors have their own goals at their own levels. If policies are created based on persons, in this case, professors, to improve organizational goals, then it might profoundly impact social actions inside the schools.Originality/valueThis paper increases the literature on happiness perception studies and proposes the examination of the relationship between perceived personal happiness and dimensions that influence this perception; these are from two kinds: 1. individual dimensions: emotional health and research activities and 2. organisational dimensions: economic incentives and management styles, which is an original approach and open discussion to further new approaches to this study.

In recent years, the Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE) has been an emergent field related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). In current business models, organizations need to be part of the digital transformation and create value for customers, which has caused an increase in the number of scientific publications on the KBE. This study aims to analyze the research trends of the scientific literature on the KBE published between 1986 and 2021.Design/methodology: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database. The results were analyzed based on quantity, impact, and structure indicators and topics. In addition, this paper proposes a research agenda for future studies in this field. Findings:The study of the KBE has attracted the interest of the scientific community, especially in 2006, 2010, and 2011. This literature review shows that developed countries (e.g., Poland, Romania, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany) have researched this field the most. Terms such as knowledge-based systems, knowledge management, and information management have become more common in the literature and are setting trends. These terms refer to essential components for the advancement of the KBE as an approach that can dynamize the economic development of organizations and countries.Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature because it analyzes the theoretical evolution of the KBE field. In addition, it proposes an agenda for future studies to advance the research fields related to the Triple Helix model of innovation in developing countries

“…En tal contexto, la gestión del conocimiento se puede definir como un proceso que permite la creación de conocimiento inicialmente en forma individual, para luego compartirlo entre los miembros de una organización y aplicarlo tanto para generar innovaciones o mejoras en los productos o servicios, como para la adopción de decisiones e ideas que buscan el mejoramiento de las instituciones [4]. En el ámbito de la educación superior, se plantean modelos de gestión del conocimiento en la búsqueda por promover el aprendizaje organizacional [5], aprovechando los activos cognitivos, estratégicos, humanos y tecnológicos que generen oportunidades para el desarrollo de las actividades propias de este tipo de instituciones (docencia, investigación, extensión y proyección social) [6]. Se sigue, que un mejor proceso de gestión del conocimiento producirá efectos organizacionales [7], y, por consiguiente, es relevante conocer y comprender qué variables pueden influir positivamente en este proceso.…”

La gestión del conocimiento es una tarea primordial para lograr la creación de valor estratégico en las instituciones. En este contexto, la investigación tiene por objetivo explorar la influencia de la cultura organizacional sobre la gestión del conocimiento. Para este efecto, se aplicó un cuestionario a 29 líderes de equipos de dirección intermedia de cuatro instituciones de educación superior que operan en diferentes regiones de Chile. Para el análisis estadístico de los datos se utilizó el software SPSS 27.0. Los resultados muestran que la cultura innovativa incide favorablemente sobre las fases específicas de crear y almacenar conocimiento; la cultura competitiva tiene, por su parte, un impacto positivo sobre la creación de conocimiento; la cultura burocrática a su vez evidencia una influencia favorable sobre el proceso de aplicar conocimiento; mientras que la cultura comunitaria tiene un impacto positivo sobre el proceso de crear, compartir y aplicar conocimiento. Se concluye que la relación de estas dimensiones demanda algunos cuidados fundamentales. Primero, es necesario diferenciar entre diversos tipos de cultura; segundo, es preciso identificar las diferentes fases del proceso de gestión del conocimiento; tercero, se requiere realizar relaciones concretas y específicas entre los diversos tipos de cultura identificados y las diferentes fases del proceso de gestión del conocimiento definidas. De esta forma se podrá avanzar en conseguir resultados de importancia estratégica (generales, de largo alcance, que generen implicancias), pero salvaguardando las especificidades de cada caso, las que son imprescindibles de tomar en cuenta para no generar resultados ambiguos.Palabras clave: Cultura organizacional, gestión de conocimiento, instituciones de educación superior, equipos, dirección intermedia.
