Abstract

Although there is an increasing number of researches on knowledge hiding, but existing studies are scattered in different fields and there is a lack of quantitative synthesis of extant literature. Based on the empirical literatures at home and abroad from 2012 to 2024 (k=149, n=52846), this study comprehensively meta-analyzes the antecedents and consequences of knowledge hiding. The results show that individual characteristics, interpersonal characteristics, situational factors, and knowledge complexity are significantly related to knowledge hiding; knowledge hiding is significantly associated with task performance and creativity. In addition, knowledge hiding plays a stronger negative impact on employee creativity than on task performance. The scales, measuring ways and research designs moderate the relationship between knowledge hiding and task performance and creativity to varying degrees. The findings deepen the theoretical explanations on the triggering factors and outcomes of knowledge hiding and promote the development of knowledge hiding theory.
