SEA\u2010KMS is designed to provide user\u2010supportive functions to help the user in understanding the value of his activity: contextualise the user in his activity in relation to the overall activities as well as give him personalised assistance from the theoretical and practical aspects of the activity in order to mitigate working situations possibly felt as alienating.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>Assisting the user in attributing full sense to the value of his activity fosters his further knowledge construction, which will eventually result in a more effective and satisfactory accomplishment of the task. This assistance policy can prove to be particularly effective if knowledge from user\u2010monitoring is exploited to select and provide the user with the opportune knowledge in a contextualized way.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>The major expected practical implication is the global benefit as a result of increased individual awareness in the activity and in the overall organizational processes.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>The system tries to make sense emerge in an individual, by punctually acting to mitigate passion\u2010related behaviours which often emerge as an individual sense\u2010path as a reaction to alienating working situations.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/13673270510629981","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,15]],"date-time":"2007-01-15T19:29:31Z","timestamp":1168889371000},"page":"92-103","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Functional model of a sense\u2010emerging assistant for knowledge construction and management"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Paolo","family":"Bussotti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Chiara Pettenati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022020220472493800_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ardichvili, A., Page, V. and Wentling, T.
