In <strong>the</strong> last years, <strong>the</strong> KM strategies have been focused on promoting tacit knowledge between people
and this KM strategy allows transfer <strong>of</strong> knowledge to become a more flexible process that improves
<strong>the</strong> knowledge worker’s performance.
Taking into consideration <strong>the</strong> complexity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> human factor, we can state that rigid legislation
concerning <strong>the</strong> mandatory imposition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> certificate trainer, combined with <strong>the</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> human
resources strategies at different levels, produces artificial barriers in <strong>the</strong> KM process and prevent <strong>the</strong>
development and implementation <strong>of</strong> KM strategies (see Figure 3).

Strategies in Romania
The ESF was designed as a tool used to adapt knowledge to human and technological resources
existing at each level at a specific time and to disseminate this knowledge to target groups, requiring
not only a certificate, but this type <strong>of</strong> knowledge as well.
In this context, KM no longer prevails, but, on <strong>the</strong> contrary, negative effects occur and propagate in a
chain from one level to ano<strong>the</strong>r and return <strong>the</strong> feeling <strong>of</strong> futility and waste <strong>of</strong> knowledge, reinforcing
negative energy more powerfully than initially.
3.1.2 The relationship between transparency and knowledge management output
On <strong>the</strong> rumours market <strong>the</strong>re was a rumor that it would be possible to be involved in many activities,
some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m representing a potential conflict <strong>of</strong> interests.
On <strong>the</strong> Managing Authority for Sectoral Operational Programme Human Resources Development
(MASOPHRD) website, we only found <strong>the</strong> following sentence on <strong>the</strong> conflict <strong>of</strong> interests: “Any false
information or potential conflict <strong>of</strong> interests will cause <strong>the</strong> elimination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> person from <strong>the</strong> database”
(MASOPHRD, 2010-2011).
Following <strong>the</strong> rumours market information, we came up with <strong>the</strong> conclusion that <strong>the</strong>re are people
being at <strong>the</strong> same time:
Manager and member in many projects at <strong>the</strong> university level,
Manager and member in o<strong>the</strong>rs projects at <strong>the</strong>ir own consulting company level,
Member in many projects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir associations – o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> university and consulting
company,
Independent evaluator for <strong>the</strong> projects funded by ESF,
Member in monitoring teams for <strong>the</strong> projects funded by ESF.
