Information Literacy of Managers: Models and Factors

“…The interest in trends and actual trends in the field of ICT themselves are an important element that can influence the knowledge and skills of managers and their information literacy, which is in line with the statement by several authors (Wermann et al, 2015;Majumdar, 2015;Schrum et al, 2015;El Kadiri et al, 2016). The motivator leading to higher literacy levels is also the manager's remuneration.…”

“…The aggregate index of information literacy is significantly affected by: the managers' interest in the new ICT trends; the financial education in the ICT field; the managers' financial motivation; and the cost savings from using available ICTs in enterprises. The verification of the variables in the model confirmed that the significant impact on raising the level of information literacy of the managers is financially valued, which is also considered important in the study Lăzăroiu (2015), the manager's interest in the area of information and communication technologies and trends in this field (White, 2008;Wermann et al, 2015;Majumdar, 2015;Schrum et al, 2015;El Kadiri et al, 2016) and the manager's attitude itself towards education and information and communication technologies (Shaw & Marlow, 1999;Ritchie & Brindley, 2005;Fulantelli & Allegra, 2003;Fu, 2013). Other variables did not have a statistically significant influence on the manager's literacy level.…”

“…There are several factors influencing the literacy level, the justification of which we have explored in this article (Table 1). Ruiz, & Jiménez-Zarco, 2007;Saarenketo, Puumalainen, Kyläheiko, & Kuivalainen, 2008;Antlová, 2009;Modimogale & Jan, 2011;Ongori & Migiro, 2010;Manochehr, Al-Esmail, & Ashrafi, 2012) Intensity of ICT use by managers in an enterprise (Corso, Martini, Paolucci, & Pellegrini, 2003;Acar, Kocak, Sey, & Arditi, 2005;Fuchs, Höpken, Föger, & Kunz, 2010;Ongori & Migiro, 2010) Reducing financial costs (De Silva & Ratnadiwakara, 2008;Kpodar & Andrianaivo, 2011;Sassi & Goaied, 2013;Kılıçaslan, Sickles, Atay Kayış, & Üçdoğruk Gürel, 2017) Improving business processes (Ongori & Migiro, 2010) Financial evaluation (Lăzăroiu, 2015) Increasing labour productivity (Ceccobelli, Gitto, & Mancuso, 2012;Cardona, Kretschmer, & Strobel, 2013;Spiezia, 2013;Kılıçaslan et al, 2017) Interest in ICT trends (White, 2008;Wermann, Kliesing, Colombo, & Moraes, 2015;Majumdar, 2015;Schrum et al, 2015;El Kadiri et al, 2016) Attitude towards ICT (Shaw & Marlow, 1999;Southern & Tilley, 2000;Ritchie & Brindley, 2005;Fulantelli & Allegra, 2003;Fu, 2013) From the literature and scientific researches, which are outlined in Tables 1 and 2, two important questions remain unanswered. It is the relationship between factors and information literacy and the relationship between incentives and access to education.…”
