An Empirical Study On Knowledge Sharing Behaviour Of Faculty And Its Effect On Their Academic Performance Among Arts And Science College In Trichy

Abstract

Knowledge sharing promotes a collaborative learning environment in higher education institutions where faculty members can exchange ideas, collaborate on research projects, and co-author publications. Knowledge-sharing behaviour of faculty members in Arts and Science colleges in Trichy and its effect on their academic performance, aims to identify key determinants and outcomes associated with knowledge-sharing behaviour, focusing on factors influencing faculty members' engagement in knowledge sharing activities and the impact of such activities on teaching effectiveness, research productivity, and scholarly contributions. The research methodology includes primary data collection through a structured questionnaire and statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA to assess the impact of respondents' age on academic performance. The findings reveal a significant relationship between knowledge-sharing behaviour and academic performance, highlighting the importance of creating a supportive environment and providing incentives to encourage faculty members to share knowledge effectively. The study provides actionable insights for academic institutions to optimize their knowledge management strategies and enhance faculty development initiatives.
