Abstract
ABSTRACT Using frequentist and Bayesian approaches in structural equation modelling, this paper investigated the effects of multifaceted knowledge hiding such as playing dumb, rationalised and evasive, and organisational compassion on thriving at work. The sample consists of 243 respondents collected from employees working in multinational companies in two waves. The results show that both approaches have consistent findings. Specifically, playing dumb and rationalised hiding was negatively associated with organisational compassion except evasive hiding. Furthermore, playing dumb was found to be fully mediated. In contrast, rationalised hiding was partially mediated by the organisational compassion on thriving at work reported using a frequentist approach. The Bayesian approach confirms these two facets as complete mediation. The findings have theoretical implications for the association between multifaceted knowledge hiding and organisational compassion, practical implications for understanding and fostering employee thriving at work, and the methodological implication for using both approaches to confirm the study.
期刊介绍:
Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas: •Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring) •Organisational learning •Intellectual capital •Knowledge economics Within (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems.
