Purpose: Drawing on the assumptions of social exchange and conversation of resource theories, this study aims to empirically explore the underlying mechanism between perceived injustice and knowledge hiding in the organizational context. To explicate the relationship, this study examines the catalytic roles of employees' self-serving behavior and perceived organizational politics.

Methods: A moderated-mediation model is developed and tested. Data collected from 234 individuals from both manufacturing and service sector firms.

Results: The findings of the study propose that self-serving behavior positively mediates the link between perceived injustice and knowledge hiding. Moreover, the result of two-way interaction between employees' self-serving behavior and perceived organizational politics further amplifies the indirect relationship between perceived injustice and knowledge hiding.

Conclusion: The findings of this study help to enrich the extant research on knowledge hiding by determining and evaluating the factors that hitherto unspecified and explicate the relationship between perceived injustice and knowledge hiding within the organizational contexts. Moreover, this also highlights the importance of employing both individual and contextual elements together while studying knowledge hiding within the organizations.

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of challenge and hindrance stressors on employees' knowledge-hiding behavior, based on self-reported data from 493 Chinese preschool teachers. The findings indicate that both challenge and hindrance stressors significantly increase knowledge hiding, with hindrance stressors exerting a more pronounced effect. Furthermore, the study reveals the mediating roles of job crafting and work withdrawal, highlighting the distinct mechanisms involved with these stressors.

Understanding patterns of cortico-cortical connections in both frequently and infrequently studied species advances our knowledge of cortical organization and evolution. The agouti (Dasyprocta aguti, a medium-size South American rodent) offers a unique opportunity, because of its large lissencephalic brain and its natural behaviors, such as gnawing and hiding seeds, that require bimanual interaction while sitting on its hindlimbs and aligning its head to receive images of the horizon on the retinal visual streak. There have been no previous studies of the intrinsic and extrinsic ipsilateral projections of the agouti's primary somatosensory cortical area (S1).

Influence of study climate and trust on knowledge sharing and knowledge hiding among Chinese medical students.

BMC Med Educ

November 2024

School of Medicine and Health Management, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, #13 Hangkong Road, Wuhan, Hubei Province, 430030, P. R. China.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined how knowledge sharing (KS) relates to knowledge hiding (KH) among Chinese medical undergraduates, influenced by study climate (SC), interpersonal trust (IT), and sharing intention (SI).
  • Conducted on 761 students from two medical colleges in Wuhan, the research utilized path analysis to explore these relationships across different levels of academic performance.
  • Results indicated that while KS and KH are weakly related, IT positively impacted KS and negatively impacted KH, with SC exerting indirect effects through IT and SI, affecting students differently based on their academic performance.
