Knowledge sharing is a mechanism for faculty members to capture, disseminate, transfer and apply useful knowledge.This study is to examine the factors and barriers which contribute to successful knowledge sharing among individuals in Private Higher Institutions Education(PHIE). A cross-sectional survey is used as a methodology for data collection.The factors of knowledge sharing for this study are nature of knowledge, motivation to share, opportunities to share, staff attitudes and working culture.The study shows that there is a significant relationship between knowledge sharing with all of the factors for the university, but for colleges, the knowledge is insignificant.However for both PHIEs, all of the factors are positively correlated.
