“…Given the salient benefits of knowledge, firms have been encouraged to invest more to acquire and manage the knowledge. As employees are the main carrier of organizational knowledge, many enterprises attempt to take possession of knowledge by acquiring outstanding talents with higher knowledge levels (Capsada-Munsech, 2020). On the one hand, enterprises introduce more employees with higher education backgrounds and higher knowledge levels by raising the recruitment threshold (Fine and Edward, 2017;Rose, 2017).…”

Purpose Despite manager’s investments in facilitating knowledge sharing, such as hiring employees with lots of knowledge, knowledge hiding remains prevalent in organizations. It may stem from that less attention has been paid to the relationship between perceived overqualification and knowledge hiding. Drawing on emotion theory, this study aims to build a mediation framework to examine effects of perceived overqualification on knowledge hiding via negative emotion state and moderating role of team positive affective tone. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses a two-wave survey study among 398 knowledge workers from 106 teams in knowledge-intensive industries and tests the hypotheses by performing a series of hierarchical linear modeling analyzes. Findings The results show that a negative emotion state mediates the U-shaped relationship between employees’ perceived overqualification and knowledge hiding behavior. Team positive affective tone moderates the U-shaped relationship between negative emotions and employees’ knowledge hiding behavior. Originality/value This study extends current knowledge management literature by introducing perceived overqualification as an individual predictor of employees’ knowledge hiding behavior and revealing the both light and dark sides of perceived overqualification on knowledge hiding, as well as its intervening mechanism. The research findings help practitioners to curb such counterproductive behaviors.

“…Miller, 2012). However, no prior research was found analysing overeducation and underemployment in WCs, despite the crucial importance of this topic for modern society, especially in Spain, where levels of overeducation have surpassed those of other advanced economies (Capsada-Munsech, 2020) to become a structural phenomenon (Sánchez-Sánchez and Fernández-Puente, 2021).…”

“…According to OECD data, the proportion of people aged 25–64 years with higher education rose from 28% in 2006 – a few years before the economic crisis – to around 34% in 2013 (Sánchez-Sánchez and Fernández-Puente, 2021). However, this rise in highly educated people has outpaced demand for the type of work requiring these education levels, leading to more widespread overeducation than in other advanced economies (Capsada-Munsech, 2020; García-Montalvo, 2009; Sánchez-Sánchez and Fernández-Puente, 2021). Overeducation is a structural phenomenon that is sustained over time, regardless of the current phase of the economic cycle (Sánchez-Sánchez and Fernández-Puente, 2021).…”

This research study analyses overeducation in worker cooperatives (WCs) compared to conventional firms (CFs) to determine whether there is any evidence to suggest that underemployment due to overeducation is less probable in WCs (where decisions are made democratically by worker members to maximise collective wellbeing) than in CFs in Spain. A total sample of 945 workers (315 worker members from WCs, 315 non-member workers from WCs and 315 workers from CFs) taken from the Continuous Working Life Sample from the Spanish Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration was used. The methods applied in the study include regression line comparison between WCs and CFs and logistic regression analysis. The results show that the probability of underemployment due to overeducation may be lower in worker members from WCs than in workers from CFs. Nevertheless, this is not the case for non-member workers in WCs, who display a similar level of underemployment due to overeducation as workers in CFs. This study lays the foundation for research into underemployment due to overeducation in WCs, a topic which has not yet been explored.

“…Readiness to learn is positively associated with numeracy skills (Hollinger & Larwin, 2019) and with skill use in the general population, particularly at home (Smith et al, 2015) but has yet to be examined for adults with LD. Completing PSE and even being overeducated for the available job market may be associated with parental education levels, especially the mother’s (Capsada-Munsech, 2020); however, this association has not been tested for adults with LD.…”

Adults with learning disabilities (LD) face educational and employment challenges and may also have other disabilities and health conditions. Little is known about these adults’ numeracy skills and how they use numeracy at work or home. The article’s objective was to investigate numeracy skills and skill use for U.S. adults with LD. The author conducted descriptive and regression analyses of 2012/2014/2017 U.S. Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) data. Findings are presented on assessed numeracy skills and skill use, relationships of use and skills, and skill use among seven groups of adults with LD. Compared with the general population, adults with LD have lower mean numeracy scores. Skill use at home adds to the variance explained in numeracy skills, which suggests that using numeracy skills matters in gaining skills. Knowing the relationships of assessed numeracy skills with skill use helps educators implement strategies to support adult program completion. Implications of findings are discussed for adult educators and policymakers.
