AI-generated Abstract

As universities transition to business-oriented organizations while striving to maintain high education standards, the formation of communities of practice (CoPs) has been identified as a vital strategy for fostering innovation and knowledge sharing. This study examines the barriers that academics face in engaging with CoPs, despite their potential benefits for teaching, research, and community development. The findings suggest that collective efforts in knowledge sharing can enhance the academic environment, leading to improved outcomes for both staff and students.
