Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In 2024’s post-pandemic world, innovation is a necessity for survival. In this world where artificial intelligence seems to be taking the upper hand, it is no longer about survival of the fittest but of the brightest, and the intellectual brilliance of people, organizations and societies may be measured by innovation.

Quite crucially, knowledge management and organizational learning are two forms of reasoning and acting that foster innovation.

The expectation for this Special Issue is to address these gaps by exploring the intersection of knowledge management, innovation, and human behavior in the post-COVID era. This could involve examining the role of artificial intelligence in fostering creativity and collaboration, the impact of different leadership styles on knowledge sharing and innovation, and the potential for using technology to facilitate more inclusive and equitable knowledge sharing and collaboration. Ultimately, the goal is to provide practical insights and recommendations for organizations seeking to enhance their knowledge management and innovation practices in the new work environment.

Research articles, review articles, and short communications are invited. Studies can be discursive, quantitative, qualitative, or mixed method, providing a comprehensive understanding of the link between knowledge management and innovation in a post-pandemic world. This Special Issue serves as a platform for researchers to share their insights and findings on how knowledge management can drive innovation in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Globalization, digital transformation, and organizational changes have led to significant transformations in the world of work, substantially increasing workloads, which can result in high levels of stress and burnout among employees. The main objective of this study was to investigate the association between occupational stress and perceived performance and whether this relationship was mediated by burnout. In addition, we sought to understand whether the work regime (in-person, hybrid, and remote) moderates the relationship between occupational stress and burnout. The sample for this study consisted of 325 participants working in organizations based in Portugal. The data collection procedure was non-probabilistic, intentional, and snowball-type. This is an exploratory, correlational, and cross-sectional study. The results indicate that only the dimension ‘stress with users’ has a negative and significant association with performance. On the other hand, the dimension ‘stress with career and remuneration’ has a positive and significant association with performance. The dimensions ‘stress with users’ and ‘stress with workload’ have a positive and significant association with performance. Only ‘stress with workload’ has a positive and significant association with exhaustion. Distancing has a total mediating effect on the relationship between stress with users and perceived performance. The work regime has a significant effect on distancing. The work regime moderates the relationship between ‘stress with working’ conditions and exhaustion. Given the current work regimes, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be concluded that, among the dimensions of occupational stress, the most critical is stress with working conditions.
