This study examines the scholarly practice of “knowledge sharing” and the extent to which it is rewarded by prevailing faculty-incentive structures. Following recent calls for greater connectivity between the academic and practitioner communities in both political science and public administration, there is a need for greater empirical evidence regarding the extent to which these practices are being employed across the discipline and how their use varies across institutional settings. Focusing on “knowledge sharing” as a specific dimension of “engaged scholarship,” this article reports the findings from a recent survey of public affairs and administration program leaders regarding current standards for earning tenure and promotion. Relevant scholarly practices are discussed and the reported value of these practices for earning tenure and promotion is presented. Institutional types are compared and recommendations are made for improving the dissemination of scholarly knowledge to the public administration practitioner community
