In the increasingly competitive and internationalized higher education, institutional accreditation has become a supportive role in higher education institutions' (HEIs) ranking and development. Institutional accreditation is a form of knowledge sharing and transfer in organizational management, research, learning and teaching, and networking. But how can such knowledge sharing be enabled within different higher education organizations? The main objective of this research is to explore the relationship between knowledge sharing enablers and institutional accreditation outcomes. Derived from in knowledge sharing enablers (Hall et al., 2021), this research builds a model of knowledge management (KM) enabler composed of organizational culture, trust, information technology and employee motivation. A cross-sectional scale questionnaire will be developed to dig into the relationship between KM enablers with institutional accreditation. Together these KM enablers, including organizational culture, trust, information technology and employee motivation, were identified to be predictive factors for organizational KM and positively related to institutional accreditation outcomes. This research contributes to the future literature on dimensions of knowledge management and HEIs’ organizational development, as well as KM enablers in higher education. It is also useful in practice to higher education administrators and stakeholders involving in supporting educational internalization and regional accredictation.
