Abstract

This study examined unethical favouritism and knowledge hiding (KH) to ascertain the extent to which unethical favouritism influences KH as well as the extent to which organisational injustice mediates the relationship between unethical favouritism and KH. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design of 305 randomly selected respondents from one public and four private universities in northcentral Nigeria. A structured questionnaire served as the research instrument. The study used the Content validity index and Cronbach alpha to test for the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Structural equation modelling served as the data analysis technique. The results indicate that unethical favouritism significantly influences KH, and organisational injustice mediates the relationship between unethical favouritism and KH. The point of departure of this study from previous studies is the unveiling of the influence of favouritism on KH through the mediation of organisational injustice, which is a consequence of favouritism.

不道德的偏袒与 KH:组织不公正的中介作用
本研究探讨了不道德的偏袒和知识隐藏(KH),以确定不道德的偏袒在多大程度上影响知识隐藏,以及组织不公正在多大程度上调解了不道德的偏袒和知识隐藏之间的关系。研究采用横断面调查设计,从尼日利亚中北部的一所公立大学和四所私立大学中随机抽取了 305 名受访者。研究工具是一份结构化问卷。研究使用了内容效度指数和 Cronbach alpha 来检验问卷的有效性和可靠性。结构方程模型作为数据分析技术。结果表明,不道德的徇私行为会严重影响 KH,而组织不公正则是不道德的徇私行为与 KH 之间关系的中介。本研究与以往研究的不同之处在于通过组织不公正(徇私的结果)的中介作用揭示了徇私对 KH 的影响。
