| Abstract: | This article considers three aspects of the knowledge management (KM) literature that have the potential to enhance human
performance technology (HPT) research and practice. First, we believe the recent attempt by economists to describe and quantify
intellectual capital can help HPT to better evaluate and defend organizational expenditures/investments for performance improvement
initiatives. Second, the emerging KM literature explores the linkages between information, learning and performance, provides
a common point of intersection for our fields, and can enhance our analysis and implementation of information (as opposed
to training) solutions as well as inform and expand our conceptual and theoretical understanding. Third, we have observed
that both KM and HPT practitioners are increasingly concerned with the learning that takes place outside the confines of traditional
formal training environments. We briefly review the electronic performance support systems literature from HPT and KM, noting
the similarities in epistemology, design, and interventions. Finally, we highlight the KM research agenda and suggest related
opportunities for HPT research. |
