Antecedent factors of knowledge sharing in research supervision
description One of the most important goals of universities is the promotion of students as future professional knowledge workers. Therefore, knowledge-sharing and transferring at tertiary level between students and supervisors is vital in universities; this asset would help to decrease the budget and provide an affordable way of doing research.
