The study tools, which were represented in two tools, were designed. The first is a questionnaire that was applied to a sample of faculty members in colleges of education, science, and the Arabic language to identify the reality of the role of academic leaders at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University for its role in promoting knowledge sharing, and the factors affecting this role. As for the second tool, it was an interview with a sample of academic leaders (deans, agents, department heads) to uncover the most prominent challenges that they face in carrying out their role in that field. The field study revealed weakness in some aspects of the cultural and motivational role to enhance knowledge sharing, and the study did not find statistically significant differences between the responses of the study sample according to the gender of the faculty members, their academic degrees, and their colleges, while the study revealed the presence of statistically significant differences between the responses of the study sample accordingly for different nationalities in favor of Saudi nationality.
