ABSTRACT
Knowledge transfer (KT) is
an attempt by an entity to copy and utilize an explicit type of knowledge from
another entity. The main reason is none other than to expand the ability and
increasing the value through inter-organization collaborative affiliation. Nonetheless,
questions may arise as to what extent do capabilities, mechanism and
performance or success is associated. Using inputs from 154
respondents which consist of various KTP (knowledge transfer program) partners
namely from the community (total 94) and industry (total 60), this
article highlights the associations between the three main categories of
variables. Using Smart PLS (partial least squares), the study provides evidence
that academia knowledge, academia readiness, academia skills, and ethics and
conduct affect KTP performance through the mediation
role of KT mechanism. Academia readiness was also found to be the most
significant predictor to KT mechanism. In summary, all the significant
capabilities have indirect positive impact towards KTP performance. Thus,
higher education institutions must emphasize their internal strength in order
to continue supporting the success of inter-organization collaborative
affiliation.
