Abstract: The research presented in this paper aimed to analyze the influence that certain factors (barriers and enablers) have on the processes of technology transfer carried out in research organizations and in the productive sector in Romania, in the context of the knowledge-based economy. It was carried out using a questionnaire-based survey answered by both researchers and employees from other organizations in Romania (industry companies, employers' associations and producers from various fields of activity, NGOs). Factor analysis of the technology transfer enablers highlighted three latent factors: the environment of the technology transfer processes, the synergy effects of the technology transfer processes and the financing. Factorial analysis of barriers also revealed three latent factors: improper focus, difficulties in financing and sophistication and level of knowledge involved.
