Abstract
Knowledge sharing is a management practice that forms a basis, through which knowledge transfer and exchange of ideas are brought to fruition hence improving administrative effectiveness and improving the overall institutional performance. In the Iraqi tertiary educational environment, the best example of which is the one within Kirkuk University, there is also a significant barrier to the implementation of entrepreneurial practices; a complementary deficit in the prevalence of knowledge-sharing programs has been reported, which can have a negative effect on entrepreneurial performance, namely creativity and proactivity. The proposed research is expected to diagnose the degree of knowledge sharing dimensions and the entrepreneurial performance, examine the character of the connection between them and test the effect of the knowledge sharing dimensions on the entrepreneurial performance. The study deals with an intricate and significant connection between the approach to knowledge sharing by administrative leadership and its ability. The research emulated a descriptive-analytical research design and a questionnaire as a main instrument of data collection. Its items were created through an examination of current research undertaken in 2020-2024. The population of the research included administrative leaders of Kirkuk University (deans, department heads, and unit directors), and 60 individuals were used as the sample. The outcome of the reliability tests (Cronbachs alpha) indicated that the instrument is of a high quality with the overall figure of 0.902. The main findings refer to the overall knowledge sharing capacity of the administrative leaders at Kirkuk University as there is a high level of individual and organizational skills, which is associated with the positive attitude towards the technological application.
