“…Knowledge is dynamic, and members of HEIs are critical actors involved in the creation and dissemination of knowledge. This form of interaction assumes an important role as it is not just an activity related to knowledge sharing but also a leverage of knowledge (Riege, 2005;Kantola and Hautala, 2008). The results point to the importance of providing a dedicated and appropriate strategy for knowledge sharing.…”

“…Knowledge sharing can occur via written form, or in a social context through networking with other experts, or documenting, organizing and capturing knowledge from others (Kantola and Hautala, 2008;Wang and Noe, 2010).…”

“…Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998) suggest that members of HEIs have recognized the important role of networking in promoting early access to new knowledge, facilitating its sharing and development, and often accelerating the progress of science. Knowledge sharing depends on personal networks and the willingness of individuals to participate in the process (Cormican and Dooley, 2007;Kantola and Hautala, 2008). Kantola and Hautala (2008, p. 55) add that "the functioning of a network is influenced not only by institutions' but also by individuals' own interests."…”

Purpose Higher education institutions (HEIs) are currently under pressure, driven by the knowledge society and the internationalization of institutions. Therefore, a positive attitude toward knowledge sharing is required. Considering that the knowledge-sharing attitude is motivated and executed mainly at the individual level, this study aims to examine the relationship between individual factors and the attitude toward knowledge sharing among professors and researchers. Design/methodology/approach Data was obtained from 176 completed questionnaires collected through LimeSurvey system. The analysis is based on quantitative methods where descriptive and inferential statistics were used. This study investigated the individual factors that affect attitude toward knowledge sharing among professors and researchers of a HEI. Findings The results identified that intrinsic motivation was the factor that most positively affects knowledge-sharing attitude. Given that intrinsic motivation is an activity moved by self-determination, and is free of external pressures or rewards, the finding may be related to the inviolable values, such as freedom and autonomy, existing in this context. Consistent with the concept of extrinsic motivation as a controlled motivation, this factor was not identified as affecting attitude toward knowledge sharing. Networking was the other factor that positively affects attitude on this institution. Originality/value In practice, this work can help the institution in defining strategies and developing future actions to promote a knowledge-sharing culture supported through an empirical study. In a theoretical perspective, this study contributes to the knowledge increase in the area, as little is known about the attitudes regarding knowledge sharing in HEIs.

“…Spekman, Forbes, Isabella, and MacAvoy (1998) find that in the early stages of the partnership, it requires the formulation of the partnership idea, followed by its articulation, which helps the organization to recognize the potential benefits of the partnership; as the partnership begins to take shape, partnership management focuses on advancing for the partnership to important stakeholders, and networking within and across organizations to secure the commitment and participation of key organizational actors; as the business becomes viable, partnership management is concerned with managing and overseeing the operation of the ongoing partnership in addition to mediating conflicts between partners which can occur through the partnership normal growth and decline. In the same context, developing trust through the life cycle of the partnership will play an important factor for sustaining it (Kantola and Hautala 2008). This trust-based approach to internationalization involves building and sustaining inter-and intra-institutional relationships, catalytic events which 'make things happen,' and learning from each other via common and divergent institutional practices.…”

“…One aspect of educational partnerships is a bilateral partnerships (Harris and Williams 2001;Michael and Balraj 2003;Ayoubi and Al-Habaibeh 2006;Ayoubi and Massoud 2012). Another aspect of international partnerships in higher education is academic network (Sharma and Roy 1996;Ginkel 1996;Moraes and Simon 2000;Latham 2001;Beerkens 2002;Wende 2003;Chan 2004;Waralkaulle 2004;Kantola and Hautala 2008;De Wit 2010).…”

International cooperation and partnerships became as an important asset for UK universities, where in order to facilitate such international cooperation, selecting partners and arranging partnerships are considered as major organizational steps towards the success of the partnership itself. This study aims at investigating the organizational process of international strategy in UK universities through institutional partnerships. Focusing on the 'mechanisms' of international partnerships, the study results are based on data collected in earlier work by the author with senior and very senior university managers from four UK civil universities.The results indicate that the mechanisms of international institutional partnerships for each university of the four universities in this study are grouped into the process of partner selecting and the process of arranging partnerships. The study ends up with a model of organization of international partnerships in universities. When evaluating international partnerships with other universities worldwide, managers can rely on this model as a monitoring model. Researchers in the field are encouraged to test the viability of the study results.
