The role of multilevel synergistic interplay among team mastery climate, knowledge hiding, and job characteristics in stimulating innovative work behavior
基于成就目标理论与工作特征理论，研究团队精熟氛围、任务互依性和决策自主性如何共同调节知识隐藏对员工创新工作行为的影响，发现仅当任务互依性或决策自主性较高时，团队精熟氛围才能抵消知识隐藏的负面作用。
Abstract This study investigates the multilevel interplay among team‐level, job‐related, and individual characteristics in stimulating employees' innovative work behavior (IWB) based on the theoretical frameworks of achievement goal theory (AGT) and job characteristics theory (JCT). A multilevel two‐source study of 240 employees and their 34 direct supervisors in two medium‐sized Slovenian companies revealed significant two‐ and three‐way interactions, where a mastery climate, task interdependence, and decision autonomy moderated the relationship between knowledge hiding and IWB. When employees hide knowledge, a team mastery climate only facilitates high levels of IWB if accompanied by either high task interdependence or high decision autonomy. In the absence of one of these job characteristics, knowledge hiding prevents higher levels of IWB even in the case of strong team mastery climate. The results suggest that multiple job design antecedents are necessary to neutralize the negative influence of knowledge hiding on micro‐innovation processes within organizations.
