TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of female knowledge workers who are mothers and the challenges they face regarding child care support which possibly hinder their productivity at work and prevent them from making similar contributions as their male counterparts in similar positions are discussed.
Abstract: With the increasing percentage of female knowledge workers entering the workforce in recent times in Bangladesh, it is becoming increasingly important to facilitate the highest possible output from this emerging segment. Availability of childcare support for working mothers is one of the most prominent issues concerning working women in Bangladesh. While developmental and non-government organizations have made major leaps in ensuring on-site child care facilities for thousands of women in the garments sector, other sectors are far behind. The purview of this research, therefore, will be contained within a sample of female knowledge workers who are mothers and the challenges they face regarding child care support which possibly hinder their productivity at work and prevent them from making similar contributions as their male counterparts in similar positions. The research concludes on significant findings on the impact of on-site childcare on female knowledge worker productivity and organizational commitment and offers recommendations to encourage the provision of on-site childcare for companies wishing to capitalize on the time contributed by female knowledge workers at the office.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated approach to examine the impact of a knowledge based economy on curriculum is presented, which complements curriculum changes with a pedagogic approach that transforms the role of teacher to facilitators of learning.
Abstract: This paper is an integrated approach to examine the impact of a knowledge based economy on curriculum. It discusses a generic profile of an effective knowledge worker and how countries are responding to the challenge. The few features of curriculum and pedagogic models are highlighted based on a case study of teacher education in India.It shows how the institution builds its new curriculum model on the strength of its existing system. To meet the desired educational outcomes, it complements curriculum changes with a pedagogic approach that transforms the role of teacher to facilitators of learning.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed relative personality theory and motivate theory, which found 13 characters, firstly analyzed personality character of knowledge worker, and then combined personality character with motivate factors, finally drew some important conclusion.
Abstract: This paper is based on consulting information and surveying questionnaire. By reviewing relative personality theory and motivate theory, the paper, which found 13 characters, firstly analyzed personality character of knowledge worker. Consequently, the root of motivating knowledge worker and the inter relationship between personality character and motivate factors are found. Furthermore, the paper coped with motivate factors from different aspects so as to draw a conclusion about characters on motivate factors, which was focused on knowledge workers. Combining personality character with motivate factors, the paper finally drew some important conclusion.

TL;DR: The last rites of management are administered by Drucker as discussed by the authors who argues that as we advance deeper into the knowledge economy, the basic assumptions underlying much of what is taught and practiced in the name of Management are hopelessly out of date.
Abstract: Management is dead, but don’t take my word for it. Peter Drucker saw this first. He begins The Practice of Management, the book that made him famous, with a bold prediction: “management will remain a basic and dominant institution perhaps as long as Western civilization itself survives”.1 What a surprise, then, to find him administering the last rites to management a little more than 40 years later: “as we advance deeper into the knowledge economy, the basic assumptions underlying much of what is taught and practiced in the name of management are hopelessly out of date… As a result, we are preaching, teaching, and practicing policies that are increasingly at odds with reality and therefore counterproductive.”2

TL;DR: A multi-objective flexible scheduling model to maximize skill scores of all knowledge workers and minimize the overall cost is proposed and can provide decision support in the area of knowledge worker scheduling.
Abstract: This paper started from an investigation of characteristics of knowledge workers, then moved to an examination of multi-skilled workers scheduling problem under the multi-stage and multi-task conditions, on the basis of stochastic learning capacity. It also introduced the relationship between skill score and efficiency, and constructed a stochastic states transfer equation of knowledge workers' skill score. On this basis the paper proposed a multi-objective flexible scheduling model to maximize skill scores of all knowledge workers and minimize the overall cost. The model can provide decision support in the area of knowledge worker scheduling.
