“…In fact, universities like other organizations have competitive environments, so it is necessary to make sure that in this environment, knowledge is appropriately generated, transferred and shared among individuals. Faculty members are considered as primary sources of production and application in academic institutions and their major activities are teaching, researching and doing related professional activities (Seonghee & Boryung, 2008). These people tend to share their knowledge through formal and informal groups, electronic communications and training workshops with colleagues (Hulland, 1999).…”

“…To succeed in the competitive environment, all organizations assume it is necessary to obtain knowledge more effectively than others do. Today, moving towards using knowledge makes knowledge management a key strategic instrument to improve the performance of the firms and sharing and applying the knowledge (Seonghee & Boryung, 2008).

“…In other words, knowledge sharing is a kind of process where the knowledge processed by a person, changes in a way, which could be understood and used by the others. Therefore, it seems that one way of successful knowledge management is the usefulness and effectiveness of knowledge sharing (Seonghee & Boryung, 2008).…”

Universities and institutions of higher education with a professional, special, educational and cultural environment, play an important role in effective knowledge management and preparing the background for knowledge sharing. Faculty members are known as the main elements of the university who own mental and intellectual property. Their knowledge sharing under certain conditions along with knowledge sharing behaviors improve individual and organizational operations. Moreover, the tendency to do these actions is the most important factor in knowledge sharing behavior and emotional intelligence (EQ), as one of the social intelligence factors, can guide individual thinking and activity. This study examines the impact of emotional intelligence on faculty members' knowledge sharing behaviors. Regarding the purpose and nature, this study was functional and its methodology was exploratory and due to evaluation of the relations and impacts among variables, it was a correlational method. Data collection included interviews with experts for the qualitative part and a questionnaire for the quantitative part. The qualitative findings indicate different emotional intelligence dimensions, which includes self-awareness, social skills, coping with pressure, adaptability and overall creation. In addition, the result of EQ dimensions on knowledge sharing behavior reveal that "social skills, coping with pressure, and overall creation" share a link with faculty members' research behavior among the four dimensions of knowledge sharing behavior and that "adaptability" has no significant relationship with knowledge sharing behavior.

“…Since collaboration and knowledge sharing are more crucial in academic institutions, the perceptions and attitudes of academics toward knowledge-sharing are a fundamental part of knowledge management process. According to Kim and Ju (2008), a systematic structure to facilitate academics in sharing knowledge and collaborating effectively is necessary towards producing new knowledge which results from processing existing knowledge. According to them, a campus-wide knowledge repository that acquires, organizes, and distributes new knowledge will enable the exchange and reuse of knowledge for collaboration.…”

This study examines the mediating role of relational social capital in the relationship between psychological contract and knowledge sharing. This study collected data from 145 academicians in Malaysian public universities using questionnaires. Data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. The findings suggest that trust and collaboration fully mediate the relationship between relational psychological contract and knowledge sharing. The study supports the call for more empirical evidence concerning the role of social capital in understanding the relationship between psychological contract and knowledge sharing. This study contributes to the literature by linking psychological contract and knowledge sharing through the lens of social capital.

Scientific knowledge evolution is mainly based on an effective dissemination of research results. The concept of Open Access gives us the theoretical foundation of a model for accessing scientific knowledge, free from the constraints of traditional publishing and technologically supported by the Internet. Institutional Repositories are information systems that allow preserving, storing and disseminating scientific knowledge produced in higher education and scientific research institutions. They increase the visibility and the citation level of the documents. They also contribute to minimizing negative aspects like plagiarism of content because documents are exposed to peers in real time.As an alternative way to the traditional system of publishing scientific research content, repositories are developed in a cultural climate of great visibility leading to an immediate critical evaluation by peers. 99 January 2010. Its main purposes are promoting Open Access (OA), and preserving and disseminating the scientific knowledge produced at the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco (IPCB). Using DSpace as a technological platform, RCIPCB is an institutional project supported by the president of the IPCB. Therefore, the present study was developed with the aim of analyzing the performance of RCIPCB considering the evolution and growth in terms of users, archiving and self-archiving, the number of published documents (scientific) versus deposited documents in 2010 and the heterogeneity among communities/collections and its causes. Data were collected in RCIPCB, in the 2010 scientific publication list of the institute and through a questionnaire survey distributed among the members of the community with most documents deposited and those of the community with the fewest documents. For data collected in RCIPCB and in the publication list, average, standard deviation and counts were calculated. Data collected from questionnaires were analyzed with SPSS. The results show that RCIPCB indicates an asymmetric growing dynamics. Nevertheless, it reflects the institutional organization, in the sense that the communities related to the older schools possess more documents than the communities related to more recent schools. Communities having higher numbers of deposited documents seem to have also higher levels of searches and downloads. Therefore, it increases significantly the visibility of the institution and its researchers. Concerning the 2010 scientific production when compared with the deposit level of the corresponding community, the results show that the number of documents deposited is much lower than the number of published documents. Data obtained from the questionnaire answers from the communities The School of Agriculture (ESACB) and The School of Applied Arts (ESART) suggest that the strategy of communication used by RCIPCB is correct because everybody knows about the Repository. However, that is not related to the number of documents deposited. They also suggest that the strategy is not efficient and it needs...
