Abstract

PurposeBased on interdependence theory, the authors investigated the effect of reward interdependence (RI) on project professionals' knowledge hiding and examined the moderating role of knowledge tacitness (KT) and complexity, in the context of new product development (NPD) teams.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a time-lagged study in the context of NPD teams and collected data from a sample of 231 NPD professionals in China.FindingsThe study's findings indicate that RI was negatively associated with knowledge hiding. Knowledge tacitness negatively moderated the relation between RI and knowledge hiding. In contrast, the moderating effect of knowledge complexity (KC) was not significant.Practical implicationsTo reduce NPD professionals' knowledge hiding, organizations should not only design incentive plans that cultivate interpersonal relatedness but also address the drawbacks (decreased effectiveness of group rewards) resulting from KT.Originality/valueThe authors' paper provides novel insights into the inconsistent understanding of organizational rewards' effectiveness in managing knowledge withholding by demonstrating the differentiated effects of individual and group rewards on knowledge hiding as well as the differential contingent roles of knowledge attributes.

报酬相互依赖与项目专业人员的知识隐藏：知识属性的调节作用

目的基于相互依存理论，在新产品开发团队的背景下，研究了报酬相互依存（RI）对项目专业人员知识隐藏的影响，并考察了知识默隐性（KT）和复杂性的调节作用。设计/方法/方法作者在NPD团队的背景下进行了一项时间滞后研究，并从中国231名NPD专业人员的样本中收集了数据。研究结果表明RI与知识隐藏呈负相关。知识隐性对RI与知识隐藏的关系具有负向调节作用。相反，知识复杂性（KC）的调节作用并不显著。实践启示为了减少NPD专业人员的知识隐藏，组织不仅应该设计能培养人际关系的激励计划，还应该解决KT.Originality/value带来的缺点（团队奖励的有效性降低）。作者的论文通过展示差异化的个体和群体奖励对知识隐藏的影响以及知识属性的差异性偶然作用。
