中国高新技术组织中知识心理所有权对知识隐藏的影响效果: 领地行为和社会地位为中心
Relationship between Knowledge-based Psychological Ownership and Knowledge Hiding Behavior in Chinese High-tech Organizations : Territory and Social Status
In an increasingly complex, knowledge-based, and turbulent economy, the competitive advantages of more and more organizations depend on effective knowledge management. One of the main knowledge management tasks involve taking measures to stop individuals from hiding knowledge and getting them to share their core information or knowledge within their organizations. Employees’ knowledge sharing is crucial to the success of intellectual organizations, but knowledge hiding behavior is also universal in intellectual groups. Why do employees hide knowledge when faced with knowledge requests from the colleagues? What factors can affect knowledge hiding behavior, and what is the mechanism behind it? Much of the existing research has focused on knowledge sharing behavior with little attention being paid to knowledge hiding behavior and the motivations behind it. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between knowledge-based psychological ownership and knowledge hiding behavior using conservation of resources theory. We identify the mediating role of territoriality in the relationship between knowledge-based psychological ownership and knowledge hiding behavior and verify that the social status mechanism moderates territoriality and knowledge hiding behavior. The data were collected using a questionnaire-based survey distributed at eight high-tech enterprises in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei from October to November, 2020. We obtained 267 valid responses and analyzed them using SPSS, AMOS, and bootstrapping procedures. The results reveal the following: first, knowledge-based psychological ownership has a positive and significant effect on territoriality and knowledge hiding behavior; second, territoriality mediates the relationship between knowledge-based psychological ownership and knowledge hiding behavior; third, social status has a moderating effect between territoriality and knowledge hiding behavior: it moderates the positive indirect effect of knowledge-based psychological ownership on knowledge hiding behavior via territoriality. This study has significant theoretical and practical implications. The results statistically support the effect of knowledge-based psychological ownership on knowledge hiding behavior, which is consistent with knowledge management theory and regulatory focus theory. Additionally, our results suggest that organizations can reduce knowledge hiding behavior by decreasing individuals’ self-perception of possession of knowledge or decreasing individuals’ territoriality.
