Three series of focus groups provided data from 18 recently qualified nurses, supported by observations.

Their competencies, such as research skills, values, motivation and sense of integrity to use and share scientific information, often differ from those existing workplace practices. For this reason, they drive towards renewal and change.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Examination of organisational approaches to information use indicates clearly the necessity for improvements to meet the needs of information proactiveness and thus be able to face challenges and changes in an organisation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This work sheds new light on newcomers\u2019 information use, as they integrate into a workplace and interact with information practices and organisational approaches to information use. A significant contribution is the identification of the dynamics and interdependencies between newcomers\u2019 individual agency in their way of seeking, using and sharing information, and the established community\u2019s social agency promoting existing information practices and the organisational agency represented by information culture.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jd-07-2017-0116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,11]],"date-time":"2018-04-11T11:17:30Z","timestamp":1523445450000},"page":"827-843","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Transitions in workplace information practices and culture"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"74","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8397-0795","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anita","family":"Nordsteien","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katriina","family":"Bystr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref001","article-title":"The impact of organizational information culture on information use outcomes in policing: an exploratory study","volume":"18","year":"2013","journal-title":"Information Research"},{"key":"key2021041507442132200_ref002","volume-title":"Qualitative Data Analysis: Practical Strategies","year":"2013"},{"issue":"5","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"674","DOI":"10.1080\/02601370.2014.908425","article-title":"Learning in the circumstances of practice","volume":"33","year":"2014","journal-title":"International Journal of Lifelong Education"},{"issue":"5","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"775","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijinfomgt.2013.05.009","article-title":"Information culture and organizational effectiveness","volume":"33","year":"2013","journal-title":"International Journal of Information Management"},{"issue":"5","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"792","DOI":"10.1002\/asi.20797","article-title":"Information culture and information use: an exploratory study of three organizations","volume":"59","year":"2008","journal-title":"Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology"},{"issue":"6","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"491","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551506068159","article-title":"Working with information: information management and culture in a professional services organization","volume":"32","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of Information Science"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"176","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551511435881","article-title":"An exploration of the practice approach and its place in information science","volume":"38","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Information Science"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1016\/S0268-4012(02)00102-0","article-title":"Assessing information culture \u2013 an exploratory model","volume":"23","year":"2003","journal-title":"International Journal of Information Management"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref009","first-page":"117","article-title":"The effect of knowledge management context on knowledge management practices: an empirical investigation","volume":"4","year":"2006","journal-title":"Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1080\/0141192052000310029","article-title":"Learning as peripheral participation in communities of practice: a reassessment of key concepts in workplace learning","volume":"31","year":"2005","journal-title":"British Educational Research Journal"},{"key":"key2021041507442132200_ref011","volume-title":"The Constitution of Society: Outline of the Theory of Structuration","year":"1984"},{"key":"key2021041507442132200_ref012","volume-title":"Organizational Knowledge: The Texture of Workplace Learning","year":"2006"},{"key":"key2021041507442132200_ref013","volume-title":"Qualitative Data Analysis: An Introduction","year":"2013"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021041507442132200_ref014","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1080\/02660830.2004.11661484","article-title":"The significance of individual biography in workplace learning","volume":"36","year":"2004","journal-title":"Studies in the Education of Adults"},{"key":"key2021041507442132200_ref015","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hult, H.V., Bystr\u00f6m, K. and Gellerstedt, M.
