The Effects of Competition and Time Constraints on Knowledge Transfer: Exploratory Findings from Two Experiments

Abstract: This paper presents two experiments that examine the possible effects of competition (individual and team), and time constraints on knowledge hiding and knowledge sharing. Results suggest that competition plays a stronger role in knowledge sharing behaviors, but less of a role in knowledge hiding behaviors, while time, although a common excuse for not sharing, is not associated with knowledge hiding or sharing behaviors. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

“…Although prior research suggests that having the motivation and the requisite knowledge is necessary to support knowledge sharing (Trada and Goyal, 2020), numerous studies suggest that lack of time can inhibit knowledge sharing in organizations. Because exchanging, internalizing, combining or co-creating knowledge can be a demanding endeavor, individuals may understandably focus solely on work demands for which they have primary accountability (Connelly et al , 2009).…”

“…The common theme emerging from our understanding of the knowledge management literature is that three primary aspects exist (motivation, opportunity and ability), which influence individual choices on whether to interact and exchange knowledge within organizations. Theoretical perspectives as well as empirical research suggest that motivation to share knowledge, opportunity to share knowledge and ability to share knowledge are key individual-level competencies that influence interaction between individuals (Connelly et al , 2009). We introduce the CSE as the latent construct made up of the three dimensions of MOA.…”
