Abstract

For innovation to occur, the Triple Helix model of innovation shows that there must be a relationship between the three main actors which are government, university , and industry. One of the most common type of interaction that occurs between the university and industry is technology transfer. In Malaysia, technology transfer has always been one of the focus for the public universities which led to the establishment of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) in all the institution to boost the number of research to be commercialized in the market through technology transfer. However , reports from some of the local public universities indicate otherwise. This study is to identify the non-technological factors affecting the university researchers individually which led to the low number of research being commercialized. To study the non-technological factors , KAP surveys are used . KAP surveys measures the knowledge, attitude, and practice of individuals on a certain issue. The respondents of the survey are postgraduates (50%) and researchers (50%) from selected universities . Results derived from the KAP survey shows that the KAP scores for postgraduates and researchers in Malaysia still has a lot of room for improvements with the score of knowledge at 54 .90%, attitude at51.31 %, and practice at 51 .96%. A new framework is proposed at the end of this study to overcome this issue in the long run .
