Abstract: Academicians in higher learning institutions should practice knowledge sharing. In the process of sharing knowledge, there are three main factors involved; namely organizational, individual and technological factor. Technological factor is vital in ensuring knowledge sharing among academicians to be successfully implemented. Much have been mentioned on knowledge sharing, but less has been discussed on knowledge sharing between university faculty academicians, especially among pure sciencies and social sciences groups. Therefore, this study is aimed to idenify the impacts of technological factors on knowledge sharing in university. This study is conducted through a set of survey instrument among academicians in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The findings of this study showed that in term of technological factor from system infrastructure part, majority of the academicians agree that the infrastructure provided are important to make knowledge sharing a reality. While from the system quality part of the technological factor, it is found that academicians are slightly agree on the knowledge provided by the the system. This findings could provide us with a conclusion that the practice of knowledge sharing in UKM are inline with the support of system infrastructure.
