Abstract
The Information Management (IM) for the Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) process
distinguish between two main levels of IM which are referred to as personal information
management (PIM) and organizational information management (OIM). The concept
boundary-spanning is also discussed as it impacts on the relationship between the triad
partnerships on the IM function related to WIL. To strengthen this boundary-spanning between
the triad partners of WIL the Theory of Motivated Information Management (TMIM) provides
the foundation on which uncertainty that develops in the triad relationship of WIL can be used
to facilitate solutions. The triad partnership for WIL is based on relationships. These
relationships are critical to manage information for WIL as it requires specific links between
the triad partners to facilitate an effective and efficient IM approach for WIL. This article
highlighted how the TMIM can help to strengthen the boundary-spanning between the triad
partners and how it can minimize the uncertainty between the triad partners.
