研究了以伦理为中心的人力资源管理系统如何通过心理契约履行影响员工的知识隐藏行为，并探讨了正念的调节作用，对管理者减少知识隐藏有参考价值。
Purpose This study contributes to the literature on knowledge management by investigating psychological contract fulfillment (PCF) as an underlying mediating mechanism between an ethics-centered HRM system and knowledge-hiding behavior (KHB). In addition, we explored the moderating role of mindfulness between an ethics-centered HRM system and PCF. Design/methodology/approach We obtained multisource field data from 236 employees and their coworkers using a time-lagged research design. Structural regression was used to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings We obtained multisource field data from 236 employees and their coworkers using a time-lagged research design. Structural regression was used to test the hypothesized relationships. Practical implications Considering the detrimental consequences of KHB for individuals, teams and organizations, it is essential to understand how an ethics-centered HRM system, mindfulness and PCF help reduce KHB. Originality/value Our research adds to the knowledge management field by disentangling how the ethics-centered HRM system influences KHB via PCF. This may help the organization understand what HRM practices help reduce the employees’ KHB.
