Abstract
In today’s knowledge driven economy, creating a pro
knowledge sharing environment and reinforcing
actual knowledge sharing behavior is central to the
success of any knowledge management (KM)
initiative. Universities and Higher Education Institutes
have an enormous scope to apply KM to acquire,
use and leverage knowledge. This paper attempts to
explore the factors that encourage or inhibit faculty
knowledge sharing behaviour. The various factors
influencing knowledge sharing have been categorized
into individual, organizational and technological
factors. Understanding of these motivators and
barriers to knowledge sharing will help the top
management of knowledge based organizations such
as Universities and Higher Education Institutes to
develop appropriate knowledge sharing strategies to
instill knowledge sharing culture within the
organization and foster the knowledge sharing
behaviour of its faculty.
