Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of abusive supervision on knowledge hiding via overall justice based on social exchange theory. In addition, using a moderated mediation framework, gender is proposed and tested as a moderator of the relationship between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding through overall justice, grounded in social role theory. Two hundred and forty-three participants are recruited from public listed companies in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is used as the main analytic tool. The results reveal that abusive supervision has a significant negative influence on overall justice. In addition, both the influence of overall justice on knowledge hiding and the mediating effect of overall justice between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding is not significant. However, the influence of abusive supervision on knowledge hiding through overall justice is significant for males but not for females. The study contributes to the knowledge-hiding literature by providing new insights into how males and females cope with abusive supervision to restore equity.

滥用监督和知识隐藏：整体正义和性别的适度调解作用

摘要本研究以社会交换理论为基础，从整体公平的角度探讨滥用监管对知识隐藏的影响。此外，在社会角色理论的基础上，利用有调节的中介框架，提出并检验了性别作为滥用监督与知识隐藏之间关系的调节因子。243名参与者来自马来西亚的上市公司。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)作为主要分析工具。结果表明，滥用监管对整体公平感有显著的负向影响。此外，整体公正对知识隐藏的影响以及整体公正在滥用监督与知识隐藏之间的中介作用均不显著。然而，虐待监管对知识隐藏的影响在男性中显著，而在女性中不显著。该研究通过提供关于男性和女性如何应对虐待监督以恢复公平的新见解，为知识隐藏文献做出了贡献。
