Abstract
Knowledge management has emerged as an important practice for achieving competitive advantage among global corporations, including higher education institutions. Knowledge sharing is a significant source of success in knowledge management, however, in Saudi Arabian universities, knowledge management is often lacking when it comes to web - based knowledge sharing amongst academics. To ensure that a knowledge sharing system can be well implemented and used when communicating internally in an academic context, there is a need to know why academics accept or reject the use of web - based knowledge sharing systems. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the important factors that would influence academics’ behaviour towards accepting and adopting the use of web - based knowledge sharing systems in Saudi Arabian universities. A conceptual model is proposed based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Task - technology Fit (TTF) models, as well as other factors which are explored in knowledge sharing literature reviews to enrich the proposed model. Then, the model will be edited and refined using a mixed method approach. Future work will expand the model and evaluate it to ensure that it fits the academics’ needs
