Description
Summary:Since Bangladesh has been experiencing a rapid expansion of higher education institutions (HEIs), particularly in private sector, there has been a rising concern with regards to their quality of research and education. The evidences highlight that there is a lack of academic research, lack of knowledge and experiences, and poor quality of teaching in these institutions. Scholars argue that enhancing knowledge sharing practices among the faculty members can serve as a powerful lever for improving academic research and quality of education. However, literature shows that faculty members are usually less inclined to share knowledge voluntarily with their colleagues. Therefore, it is important to explore the factors that may stimulate knowledge sharing among the faculty members in the HEIs. Accordingly, this paper attempts to develop a conceptual framework that introduces employee engagement as a mediator in the relationship between high performance HR practices (HPHRPs) and knowledge sharing among the faculty members serving in the private universities in Bangladesh.
