Exploring academics’ knowledge sharing intention on institutional innovation capability

In today’s knowledge-based-society, academics are the intellectual leaders for the developing of societies. As intellectual leaders, academics’ Knowledge Sharing (KS) intention on innovation may be seen as having an important role in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). It is believed that KS a...
