Abstract

In the context of developing and strengthening Islamic economy, the practice of knowledge sharing among Islamic university lecturers is very important. This is because lecturers are knowledge workers. Knowledge workers are not just people who have basic jobs or routine activities related to intellectual studies, but must also have innovative-creative power in utilizing, creating, and disseminating knowledge. Of course the knowledge shared must be based on quality research results. Through the practice of effective knowledge sharing based on quality research results, there will be a lot of motivation and innovation related to Islamic economy products and services. Based on the reasons why this study was done, namely to understand what factors that improve the practice of knowledge sharing among lecturers in Islamic universities. This study involved 350 lecturers from a number of Islamic universities in Indonesia. Through analysis of structural equation modelling (SEM), this study examines the proposed theoretical model of the 1st order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) causal relationship between a number of variables predicted to influence the practice of knowledge sharing. This study also examines a number of hypotheses arranged in a hypothetical model through a series of empirical data analyzes. By identifying overall model fit for the practice of knowledge sharing, the process of developing and strengthening research-based Islamic economy is expected to be carried out better.
