Knowledge Sharing Practice

The first objective of this research was to investigate knowledge sharing practice among academics in the targeted public universities in UAE. In order to measure the practice of knowledge sharing, the respondents were asked to indicate their degree of agreement to eight statements. By using descriptive statistics of central tendency, dispersion, and frequencies, the answers were analyzed. The results showed that majority of the surveyed academics either agreed or strongly agreed to the given statements indicating a great extent of knowledge sharing practice. The minimums, maximums, means, modes, and standard deviations for these statements are shown in Table 2 below.
