It is an underresearched area ( Pauleen 2009). From a metacognitive perspective, it compares various modalities within human cognition as to their competence and efficacy ( Sheridan 2008). From an organizational perspective, understanding of the field has developed in light of expanding knowledge about human cognitive capabilities and the permeability of organizational boundaries. PKM integrates personal information management (PIM), focused on individual skills, with knowledge management (KM) in addition to input from a variety of disciplines such as cognitive psychology, management and philosophy ( Pauleen 2009). Its origin can be traced in a working paper by Frand & Hixon (1999). It is a bottom-up approach to knowledge management (KM) ( Pollard 2008).Īlthough as early as 1998 Davenport wrote on the importance to worker productivity of understanding individual knowledge processes (cited in Zhang 2009), the term personal knowledge management appears to be relatively new. It is a response to the idea that knowledge workers need to be responsible for their own growth and learning ( Smedley 2009). Personal knowledge management ( PKM) is a process of collecting information that a person uses to gather, classify, store, search, retrieve and share knowledge in their daily activities ( Grundspenkis 2007) and the way in which these processes support work activities ( Wright 2005).
