The analysis utilised secondary data from the publicly available ICPSR dataset to examine the full sequential pathway from KM to GI and from GI to OP. Findings demonstrated a positive relationship between a firm's KM capabilities and its ability to create GI, and newly developed GI can produce both operational and strategic performance outcomes. Mediation analysis found that GI is an important mechanism for applying KM capabilities to produce performance gains. Finally, robustness checks confirmed the robustness of the primary relationships.

This paper proposes the Trust–Complementarity Model of Collective Intelligence (TCM-CI), explaining how calibrated trust and complementary capability utilisation drive superior organisational performance. Through systematic synthesis of human–AI interaction and knowledge management research, we identify three core mechanisms: (1) calibrated trust maximises collective intelligence by balancing appropriate reliance with necessary oversight, (2) complementarity–trust interaction determines optimal performance when high capability utilisation combines with appropriate trust levels and (3) dynamic feedback loops create reinforcing organisational learning cycles. The framework provides practical guidance for executives designing human–AI teams, developing trust calibration training, and establishing performance metrics.

This lack of integration limits mechanism precision and weakens actionable guidance for prevention. In response, this article offers an integrative, interactionist multilevel perspective that centers the saboteur–target relationship as the focal unit of analysis. Drawing on victim precipitation, frustration–aggression, and approach–avoidance perspectives, the article develops a process account of how relationship-specific dependence structures shape targeting, how relational appraisals and strain can be displaced into covert knowledge-based harm, and how organizational signals shape enactment versus restraint. Moral emotions are incorporated to clarify how judgments acquire moral force and translate into omission, delay, misdirection, or distortion in routine knowledge exchanges. Psychosocial safety climate is theorized as a cross-level condition that shapes accountability expectations and influences whether sabotage remains episodic or becomes self-reinforcing over time.

This study examines how spiritual leadership influences project success. It proposes knowledge sharing (attitudes and behaviors) and organizational innovation as key mediating mechanisms between the spiritual leadership and project success relationship. We draw on two independent studies conducted within the telecommunication sector. Study 1 uses data from 129 respondents and Study 2 from 180 respondents. Both studies involve project team leaders and members with project experience. Using structural equation modeling, Study 1 tests the mediating role of knowledge sharing, while Study 2 examines organizational innovation as a mediator between spiritual leadership and project success. Results from both studies demonstrate that spiritual leadership positively influences project success through knowledge sharing and organizational innovation, confirming their mediating effects in temporary project environments. Theoretically, the study extends RBV by conceptualizing spiritual leadership as an intangible organizational resource that fosters trust, collaboration, and innovation, which are key drivers of project performance. It further enriches SET by showing how spiritually grounded leadership cultivates reciprocal relationships that enhance collective learning and creativity. Practically, the findings suggest that organizations should integrate spirituality into leadership development to nurture purpose-driven, innovative, and knowledge-sharing cultures that improve project outcomes and long-term competitiveness. This research advances the literature by being among the few to empirically test the role of spiritual leadership in temporary project settings, uncovering the underlying mechanisms through which it shapes project success.
