- Abstract The use of an effective supervision mechanism is crucial between a studentand supervisor. The essential knowledge shared and transferred between these twoparties must be observed and understood very well in order to ensure that students areproduced at good level of quality for future professional knowledge workers. The aimof this study was to conduct an assessment of the impact of individual, organisationaland technical factors on knowledge sharing in a research supervision domain. In orderto achieve this aim, a specific research model was developed. This model was based onsystematically analysing and extracting all the knowledge-sharing impact factors andthen choosing the more iterative and adaptable ones, according to research supervisionmodels. These factors categorized to individual, organizational and technologicalfactors. To effectively evaluate the research model, a quantitative research methodwas adopted. Data was collected by a survey of 150 students from the Faculty ofComputing at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The Smart PLS tool was used fordata analysis. In sum, the results of this research show that the individual factorin the research supervision domain â namely, the ability of students to shareknowledge â in addition to technological factors â specifically, IT systems âhave the greatest impact on knowledge sharing in the supervision process. Inaddition, it was shown that organisational factors including the culture of theuniversity, social networks, and supervisor support have a positive impact onknowledge sharing in research supervision. However, when compared withindividual and technical factors, the effect of organisational factors on knowledgesharing in research supervision was not particularly strong in the case ofthis study. A positive relationship did not exist between the learning strategyand knowledge sharing in research supervision. This study is among the first ofits kind to empirically examine the antecedent factors of knowledge sharing inthe context of research supervision.
