N2  - The current study investigated attitudinal components that potentially impact theKnowledge Transfer Behaviour (KTB) of academics. It focused specifically on therole of behavioural intentions in the academic research process, and the resultingknowledge productivity, utilising a large sample of academics from a Malaysian PublicUniversity. The study contributes theoretically and empirically by demonstratingthe relationships of the variables comprising the Theory of Planned Behaviour (i.e.attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and intentions) onperformance outcomes related to Knowledge Transfer Behaviour. The study alsohas practical significance based on its implications for university faculty members,providing suggestions for better understanding of how they might increase theirsuccess at Knowledge Transfer activities. This study adopts a quantitativemethod, using online questionnaires as the instruments for data collection. Theon-line survey was administered by emailing potential respondents a link. Volunteerrespondents were academics from Malaysia Public University (N=985). Path analysis was conducted totest the research hypotheses, using a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach.The results revealed that behavioural intentions significantlypredicted KTB, and Attitude and PBC significantly predicted BehaviouralIntentions. Unexpectedly, Subjective Norms did not predict behaviouralintentions for Knowledge Transfer Behaviour (KTB) ofacademics. When further modifications were made to the model, KnowledgeTransfer behaviour was predominantly uniquely explained by perceivedbehavioural control. Further recommendations were made for this study by addingother theories such as concept of the Triple Helix by looking upon university,industry and government relationships for expanding further research. Moreover, sheddinglight on the findings of this study could add valuableinformation to other researchers and thus contributes theoretically andempirically in Theory of Planned Behaviour literature.
