Abstract

Nowadays, due to technological advances, many technology recipients act as technology providers, which has created new complexities in the technology transfer process. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the question of what are the dimensions and components that affect technology transfer from the perspective of the transferor? In this study, Sandelowski and Barso's meta-synthesis qualitative approach was used. During a systematic review of 188 initial articles, 33 articles related to the research objective were finally selected. The inclusion criteria comprised articles published from the perspective of the technology provider between 2008 and 2024. The kappa coefficient was used to assess the reliability of the findings, which shows an acceptable reliability of 0.75. To validate the proposed model and increase its acceptability, review methods were used by experts in this field. The results obtained were also confirmed and reviewed by experts. Based on the findings, the most important dimensions that affect the technology transferor include 127 components in 12 main dimensions; They are categorized into laws and policies, technology absorptive capacity, culture, economic factors, cooperation and communication, technology commercialization, human resources, training, intellectual property, technology adaptation, technology assessment, technology absorption.
