THE CHALLENGES AND IMPROVEMENT OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT ACCORDING TO THE ESTONIAN MILITARY ACADEMY’S LECTURERS IN ACTIVE SERVICE

Summary/Abstract: Even though information management as a separate line of activity is not among the main tasks of the academic personnel of a higher educational institution, it is inevitable in a contemporary work environment. Even though the lecturers of the Estonian Military Academy (EMA) are no different in this sense, when a person also has active service obligations, the nature of information management shifts due to the multiplicity of tasks and specificities of the military domain. Conducting study activities, managing administrative and complementary assignments, and maintaining the general situational awareness can become very time-consuming due to the large number of information systems and channels. In the interests of preserving the general efficiency of the organisation, we wanted to identify the challenges, practices and development needs of information management that lecturers of the EMA in active service are constantly facing. Our research revealed that lecturers are struggling with constant information overload, especially considering that information is divided among a number of different systems and channels. There is a variety of practices for information management, which indicates a need for improvement on both personal and institutional level.
