AN OVERVIEW OF KNOWLEDGE WORKERS

Abstract

Due to the availability of the information economy, several terminologies such as knowledge, knowledge workers, knowledge groups or knowledge management have been used in the literature of management studies. In literature and experience, several of these words are still debatable. This analysis would concentrate on the job and the staff of information. While various statistics and descriptions have supported the nature of knowledge work and hence the distinctive grouping of knowledge workers, these concepts have been ignored. Many researchers also conclude that information workers only reclassify the working classes existing without clear theoretical and scientific data to support the argument. Job and information are assumed to reflect the changing working circumstances impacting all working classes at various levels. This may be expressed in the intensification of workplace expertise due to various influences such as the rise in the usage of technology at work and the rising need for customization on the market.
