Knowledge Management (KM) has become critical in today's highly competitive, uncertain, and rapidly changing business environment. The objective of this study is to measure the effects of knowledge management processes (knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, knowledge creation and knowledge retention) and knowledge management approaches (social networks, codification and personalization) on job satisfaction and examines how they increase employees' work performance. A theoretical model based on KM processes and approaches is proposed. It is empirically tested with structural equation modeling (SEM) and partial least squares (PLS) of survey data collected from employees of the King Fahd National Library in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The analysis showed that there is a significant and positive impact of KM processes and approaches on job satisfaction and work performance. Knowledge sharing, knowledge retention, codification and personalization approaches have significant impacts on job satisfaction, and knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation and a social network approach have no significant impacts on job satisfaction. Managers are advised to implement KM activities in their organizations to improve knowledge worker performance and the welfare of employees at work. This is the first study that theoretically examines the effect of knowledge management processes and knowledge management approaches on 'soft' human issues such as the job satisfaction and work performance of individual employees in an academic library.
In software development project management, Risk management represents critical knowledge and skills at the level of a single software project and at the enterprise level, which executes multiple software projects concurrently. The best decision of Risk management contributes to optimizing resource allocation at the enterprise level for achieving its goals. Therefore, the issue needs centralized risk management at the enterprise level as a whole and not for each project. Risk management is implemented through several stages and using different methods. Various studies deal with multiple aspects of software management. This research provides an analytical view of risk assessment in multi-environment software development projects that take place simultaneously. The study uses a public dataset previously used in previous research for several simultaneous projects in one organization. It describes the multisoftware project's risks through 12 variables. A comparative analysis uses classification methods ( Random Forest-TreesJ48 -REP Tree -Simple Logistic) to assess risks and put them in central view. The research experiment has proven high accuracy in determining risk levels in a multi-project environment, reaching approximately 98%, using the REP tree technique.
The e-commerce sector is one of the emerging and promising sectors. At the same time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this sector is experiencing a significant growth spurt that makes it one of the sectors supporting the national economy by attracting more investments. In turn, it contributes to supporting GDP, as well as its role in creating more job opportunities for young people through expanding entrepreneurship and innovation. E-commerce contributes to creating new employment opportunities; Either by making it possible to establish small and medium-sized commercial projects for individuals and linking them to global markets at the lowest investment costs by creating a means of direct communication between the consumer and the product, or by providing them with job opportunities in many different fields related to e-commerce applications; Such as e-commerce website specialists, store workers, administrators, and technicians. Despite this, the success of the sector in fulfilling its targeted role according to the Kingdom's Vision 2030 remains subject to consumer awareness, their confidence in e-commerce, the logistics services, and payments system. Besides, the communication infrastructure through the expansion of the number of POS devices at various payment outlets, they have indeed witnessed significant growth. It recorded nearly 62% during 2018 compared to the situation in 2017. However, the number of these devices is still needed to expand. The expanded role of this sector also requires taking into account work on organizing many activities to educate citizens about the importance of this sector to the various global e-commerce sites and how to use them, taking into account the language so that there are no obstacles between the users of these sites. It should also work to consider the cost of shipping expenses so that everyone can spend their requirements through e-commerce sites. The Internet and the latest technological advancements resulted in the emergence of e-commerce. E-commerce is changing the business environment across the globe. However, the motivating factor for this research has been the lack of research linking the development of e-commerce and its impact on the start-up ecosystem that is specific to Saudi Arabia. There is a general agreement amongst the scholars and experts that the start-up ecosystem plays a critical role in the country's economic system and e-commerce has become an integral part of that economic growth story of nations including Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the primary aim of this research was to examine the impact of e-commerce on the start-up ecosystem in Saudi Arabia. The authors analyzed the scientific journals and articles on the selected theme. The theoretical findings were put to the test using qualitative interviews that lasted between 30-45 minutes with eight highly skilled and experienced professionals in the field of e-commerce, start-up ecosystem, and management areas. Based on literature research and qualitative interviews, the key findings of this research are: (1) e-commerce and start-up ecosystem are amongst the key drivers of Saudi Arabia’s economy, (2) e-commerce have a significant positive impact on start-up ecosystem of Saudi Arabia, and (3) e-commerce has facilitated the start-up ecosystem to become inclusive through the rise of women entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia. Keywords: e-commerce, start-up ecosystem, women entrepreneurship, internet technologies.
