A meta-analysis of knowledge hiding behavior in organizations: Antecedents, consequences, and boundary conditions
通过整合248项研究、267个独立样本，系统分析了人力资源实践、领导风格和人格特质对知识隐藏行为的影响，以及该行为对心理、行为和绩效的后果，并考察了人口统计、情境和方法因素的调节作用。
In this meta-analysis study, we propose a comprehensive framework for investigating the factors related to knowledge-hiding (KH) behavior, and the boundary conditions in those different relationships. These factors include human resource (HR) practices, leadership, and personality traits that lead to KH behavior, as well as two types of consequences: psychological and behavioral outcomes, and performance-related outcomes. With 267 independent samples from 248 primary studies, we conducted meta-analytic correlations, relative weight analysis, meta-regression analyses, and meta-subgroup analyses. Results indicate significant relationships between HR practices, leadership styles, personality traits and KH. KH was found to significantly impact psychological and behavioral outcomes, as well as performance-related outcomes. We further examined the moderating roles of demographic and contextual factors on KH and its antecedents, as well as methodological factors on the relationship between KH and its consequences. We discussed the implications and future directions.
