Abstract

This study critically explores the interrelations among knowledge transfer mechanisms, faculty engagement in sustainability-oriented research, and the curricular integration of sustainability within higher education institutions. Employing a quantitative survey design with data from 261 academic stakeholders, the research investigates how these institutional vectors coalesce to influence sustainability outcomes. The findings reveal that faculty-driven research serves as the most salient determinant of sustainability performance, while knowledge dissemination mechanisms exert a moderate yet significant impact. Curricular integration, though pedagogically vital, demonstrates a more subdued effect, likely mediated through longitudinal educational processes. The study underscores the imperative for systemic alignment across institutional domains and advocates for a transdisciplinary, praxis-oriented approach to sustainability in academia. These insights offer strategic pathways for institutional transformation, informing both governance and pedagogical architectures.
