The research uses the theoretical framework of dual-core theory of innovation. For this purpose, the data is collected with the help of questionnaire from 190 academics of public sector universities in Peshawar, Pakistan by using convenient sampling technique. The analysis is done with the help of structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression analysis.
