The current literature on knowledge sharing among academics in higher education institutions is still fragmented and loosely focused. A systematic literature review was conducted to understand how much has been studied on this topic, to map out what are the major factors that influence knowledge sharing, and to make a chart for future research. A total of 50 articles from 2001 to 2021 have been selected and synthesized from an initial identification of 558 articles by employing electronic databases, backward searching, and forward searching. From the findings, three groups of antecedents emerged: individual, organizational, and technological factors. Among all factors, technological factors were understudied compared to individual and organizational factors. Specifically, more efforts have been put into examining the extrinsic and intrinsic benefits of knowledge sharing, organizational culture/climate, and leadership support whereas costs of knowledge sharing, organizational structure, and technology-related factors are rarely discussed. The findings provide implications for management in higher education institutions to design appropriate strategies to promote knowledge sharing among faculty staff.

高等教育学者之间的知识共享：系统文献综述和未来议程


目前关于高等教育机构学者之间知识共享的文献仍然是零散的，而且关注点松散。进行了系统的文献综述，以了解关于该主题的研究量，找出影响知识共享的主要因素，并为未来的研究制作图表。从2001年到2021年，通过采用电子数据库、向后检索和向前检索，从最初确定的558篇文章中挑选和综合了50篇文章。从研究结果中，出现了三组前因：个人、组织和技术因素。在所有因素中，与个人和组织因素相比，技术因素的研究不足。具体来说，人们投入了更多的精力来研究知识共享、组织文化/氛围和领导支持的外在和内在好处，而知识共享的成本、组织结构和技术相关因素却很少被讨论。这些发现为高等教育机构的管理层设计适当的策略以促进教职员工之间的知识共享提供了参考。
