“…This process enables the organisation to create, acquire and transfer knowledge, and most importantly, to modify its behaviour to reflect new knowledge and meaning (Dixon, 2000). The organisational learning skills that involve acquisition, storing, sharing, use and generation of knowledge could be conceptualised as knowledge strategies (Abdul Hamid, 2008). Schechter (2008) conceptualises the process of implementation of knowledge strategies that represents managing distributed knowledge throughout the entire organisation as an organisational learning mechanism.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to identify the knowledge strategies applied in aided secondary schools in Hong Kong and to explore the predictive relationship between knowledge strategies and school learning capacity. Design/methodology/approach -A cross-sectional quantitative survey was designed to collect data from 427 teachers at 15 aided secondary schools in Hong Kong. Exploratory factor analysis and a structural equation model were applied to explore the factor structure of the latent variables and their relationships. Findings -The results showed that the schools use interpersonal interactive knowledge sharing as their major knowledge strategy. Knowledge retrieval, utilisation and sharing were identified as the predictive factors for individual learning capacity and organisation learning capacity. Practical implications -School administrators could consider the knowledge strategy of cultivating a community of practices in school organisation to develop teacher teaching competency and to enhance school learning capacity for sustainable development. Originality/value -The paper connects research on knowledge management and organisational learning in a school context and explores a knowledge strategy that could be applied effectively in education organisation.

“…Knowledge strategies are usually conceptualised by the knowledge process of retrieval, sharing, using, storing and generating (Tannenbaum and Alliger, 2000; Abdul Hamid, 2008; Galbreath, 2000). Knowledge retrieval refers to the collection of information and knowledge for planning, decision making and problem solving.…”

“…Malaysian scholars have also shown an interest in studying the knowledge/competencies of school leaders (e.g. Ab Rashid, Ahmad and Mohd Tahir, 2012; Abdul Hamid, 2008; Kho, 2017; Raman et al, 2018; Tai and Abdull Kareem, 2016), though less so as compared with the Western literature (Hallinger, 2011). Studies on principals’ and teacher leaders’ gender were not of interest among Malaysian scholars.…”

Substantial progress has been made in the knowledge base of educational leadership and management (EDLM) in societies across the world. However, the evidence base in developing countries such as Malaysia remains limited. Thus, this article reports the results of a systematic review of research on EDLM in Malaysia. The review aimed at describing key features of the Malaysian knowledge base in EDLM with respect to publication volume, journal outlets, types of papers published, distribution of knowledge production across its states and key scholars, and the composition of research topics, methods, and maturity of its knowledge production. The review database encompassed 328 journal articles in English and Malay language published on EDLM in Malaysia. Systematic methods were applied in the identification of sources and data extraction from the journal articles. Data analysis relied primarily on quantitative methods for data interpretation to reveal the variability in patterns of knowledge production in Malaysia EDLM. The review found that the Malaysian literature in EDLM is largely contemporary; however, it is an ‘immature but emerging literature’ which bears similarities to literatures in other developing societies in Asia. Recommendations are made for topics, methods and other areas where capacity development is warranted.

“…Personal strategies of teachers also tend to influence the knowledge culture within schools. The personal strategies can manipulate the way people seek and tolerate new knowledge, and how ideas are valued and used (Hamid, 2008). Higher levels of personal knowledge strategies are also likely to result in a stronger belief in the quality process of decision making in schools and teachers are required to develop their learning competency in order to acquire subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge when implementing the new curriculum.…”

Knowledge Management (KM) systems were implemented widely in corporate organizations for past three decades, but there is little research on KM in schools. The key objectives of this study are to identify the major components of School Knowledge Management and analyze the impact of KM in secondary education on academic performance, based on the perception of school teachers. The survey-based study is conducted in government schools of an Indian State. Exploratory Factor Analysis and Binary Logistic Regression methods are used to identify the KM factors and their impact on academic performance. This study identified the processes and enablers of school KM and its impact on academic performance. Academic performance, being mentioned as the primary outcome of School KM has not been empirically tested from a School KM perspective earlier. Knowledge creation, technology infrastructure and teacher’s competency are identified as KM variables that can significantly influence the Academic Performance and therefore the schools can initiate policies and methods to improve these vital factors.
