The study aimed to determine the degree of using knowledge networks by faculty staff in Jordanian public universities and it's relationship with the level of their achievement motivation.

the descriptive correlative method was used.

the study population consisted of members of the faculty members at Jordanian public universities : (Jordan, Al Yarmouk, Al al-Bayt) totalling (2734) members.

the study sample consisted of(382) members.

moreover, the level of achievement motivation among faculty staff also reached a high level.

the results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the level)α=0.05(between the mean of the degree of of using knowledge networks due to the gender variable on the domains : (availability of network requirements, ERIC and EBSCO cognitive, and use of EBSCO), scientific rank on the domains: (availability of knowledge network requirements, field of computer skills), and specialization.

furthermore, there were no statistically significant differences at the level (α=0.05) between the mean of the achievement motivation level among faculty staff due to the gender variable on the domains : (self-confidence, perseverance, excellence, proficiency, and independence), scientific rank on the domains: (self-confidence, competition), and specialization on the domains : (selfconfidence, excellence and proficiency).
