Abstract

El propósito de este estudio es investigar el contenido del intercambio de conocimiento entre los académicos. Se pretende realizar una contribución empírica a un aspecto prácticamente inédito en el contexto nacional (español) e internacional. Para ello se planteó un análisis exploratorio basado en un caso de estudio crítico. Se realizaron 16 entrevistas a miembros de un grupo de investigación de una universidad pública española. Los resultados revelan que los académicos intercambian elementos de carácter explícito, tácito y apoyo emocional relacionados con la docencia, la investigación y la transferencia de conocimiento. Se ha constatado que el intercambio se refiere preferentemente al ámbito de la investigación y que existen diferencias entre los investigadores senior y junior en cuanto al tipo de conocimiento y al apoyo emocional que dan y reciben. Este estudio demuestra que el carácter tácito del conocimiento puede dificultar su transferencia y que el apoyo emocional, como parte del apoyo social, puede favorecer las prácticas de intercambio entre los académicos.
