Global knowledge has become a central issue for an organization's survival. In the last few decades, Web technologies have become widely used for Knowledge Management; these are called Knowledge Management Systems (KMS). Recently, in Knowledge Management (KM) the effectiveness of knowledge sharing has been considered a significant component for KMS success. In the most universities the KM is often inadequate when it comes to knowledge sharing, especially between academics. In order to encourage knowledge sharing, it is important to know why/where/when academics choose to contribute or to receive shared knowledge. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that affect an academics' behavior towards knowledge sharing by using technology. Knowledge Sharing Technology model (KST) is proposed model was constructed combining the affecting factors: these factors are a synthesis of factors which already exist in current theories, i.e. the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Social Exchange Model (SET), as well as other factors which are always explored independently in research studies The future work will focus on confirming the model. |
