Abstract

The relationship between universities and industry (UIRs) has been a significant phenomenon for the past decade. The West has made tremendous progress in this area since the Industrial Revolution. However, there is a need for more reliable studies on UIRs, specifically on the creation of value, which can help identify gaps in this field. This research's primary objective is to analyze gratitude's role in understanding the relationship between relational benefits (RB) and relationship value (RV). To achieve this, a survey questionnaire was used to assess the applicability of the CG model to the field of education. The results indicate that CG mediates the relationship between relationship benefits and relational value.
