Top-down knowledge hiding and innovative work behavior (IWB): a three-way moderated-mediation analysis of self-efficacy and local/foreign status

“…Like air, no one should be denied it. (Alan Moore) Over the past two decades, research in the field of knowledge management has gained considerable attention due to the unique role of employee knowledge-sharing behavior in helping organizations to sustain their competitive advantage (Holdt and Pedersen, 2018;Idrees et al, 2018;Jamshed and Majeed, 2019;Manfredi et al, 2018;Mesmer-Magnus and DeChurch, 2009;Radaelli et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2016). However, researchers have recently begun exploring the dysfunctional aspect of knowledge management in which workers tend to engage in knowledge hiding from co-workers rather than knowledge sharing (Arain et al, 2018;Černe et al, 2014;Connelly et al, 2012;Hernaus et al, 2019;Singh, 2019;Škerlavaj et al, 2018).…”

A tudáskérés és tudásmegosztás feltételei – egy szervezeti tudáshálózat elemzése

“…Tanulmányunkban elsősorban a nem kodifikálható tacit és explicit tudással foglalkozunk, amely, mivel nem vagy nehezen tárolható, személyes interakciók során osztható meg a szervezetben. Ezt a rejtett tudást (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995) más néven személyes tudásnak is szokás nevezni: utóbbi azért találó, mert e tudás alatt értjük az egyéni érzéseket, érzékelést és intuíciót is (Jamshed & Majeed, 2019). Ezt a tudást nehéz szavakba önteni (Argote & Miron-Spektor, 2011), ezért gyakran más eszközöket használunk a könnyebb kifejezés érdekében: például ábrákat, metaforákat (Ajmal & Koskinen, 2008) vagy mozdulatokat, gyakorlati szemléltetést.…”

Walk The Talk: Bringing Spirituality to Workplace through Transformational Leadership and Emotional Intelligence in Higher Education Institutions

“…Transformational leadership and its association with workplace spirituality have extraordinary embellishments on the employees and the hierarchical environment. Leadership skills and emotional intelligence empower organizations in gaining a competitive edge (Jamshed & Majeed 2019). The connection between corporate spirituality and transformational leadership has elevated a novel lineage of leadership.…”
