“…As highlighted in previous studies (e.g. Perotti et al, 2023;Serenko, 2020), they were identified as common target and perpetrators of sabotage incidents related to knowledge sharing. Coherently with the research design adopted by other actors in the microfoundations research domain (e.g.…”

“…Faroque et al, 2021;Distel, 2019;O'Brien et al, 2019) and recent research on KSAB (e.g. Perotti et al, 2023;Serenko and Abubakar, 2023), the hypotheses have been assessed by a covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) technique. We can rely on this methodology to simultaneously assess the multiple statistical relationships among variables by visualization and model validation, as CB-SEM has been recognized as the most appropriate for theory testing and confirmation in deductive studies (Dash and Paul, 2021;Dhir et al, 2021;Hair et al, 2017Hair et al, , 2019.…”

“…Due to the nature of this counterproductive knowledge behaviour, the authors used items rephrased in third person with the addition of a new item to weigh the individual affinity with the sabotage behaviours (e.g. Perotti et al, 2023). Thus, KSAB occurrences have been investigated by using the third-person technique on a generic member of the company, then weighing the behavioural affinity with the participants themselves with an additional item (Fisher, 1993;Mitchell et al, 2009;Zikmund and Babin, 2016).…”

“…Then, most recent empirical investigations (e.g. Perotti et al, 2023;Serenko, 2019) surprisingly remarked that almost every second employee engaged in sabotage incidents related to knowledge in the workplace (including somebody even on multiple occasions). Previous studies also concur to identify the unwholesome circumstances that trigger such deviant behaviour in the workplace, referring to personal dissatisfaction and frustration, perceived unfairness and self-preservation, retaliation or revenge (Analoui, 1995;Bennett et al, 2018;DiBattista, 1996;Giacalone and Rosenfeld, 1987).…”

Purpose Drawing on the microfoundations theory and rational choice sociology, this study aims to investigate knowledge-sharing microfoundations through knowledge sabotage behaviours in the workplace. As such, it aims to shed light on the adverse impact of knowledge sabotage on a knowledge-sharing climate. Design/methodology/approach As a quantitative deductive study, it is based on information collected from 329 employees of European companies by self-administered online surveys. Data validity and reliability has been assessed through a confirmatory factor analysis, and data analysis was carried out by using a covariance-based structural equation modelling technique. Findings The findings from the empirical investigation supported the baseline hypotheses of the multilevel conceptual model, which is the positive relationship between organizational trust and environmental knowledge sharing. Then, recurring to a microfoundational exploration, this study supports the mediating indirect effect of job satisfaction and knowledge sabotage in affecting knowledge sharing as a social outcome. Research limitations/implications This study concurs to broaden knowledge-sharing awareness among scholars and practitioners, by focusing on knowledge sabotage as its most pernicious counterproductive behaviour. Furthermore, this research provides valuable guidance for the future development of research based on multilevel investigations. Originality/value This study builds on the need to explore the numerous factors that affect knowledge sharing in economic organizations, specifically focusing on knowledge sabotage. Adapting Coleman’s bathtub, the authors advance the first multilevel conceptual model used to unveil the knowledge-sharing microfoundations from the perspective of a counterproductive knowledge behaviour.

PurposeThis research paper aims to explore the added value of knowledge management (KM) and its antecedents for innovation and organizational performance (OP) in marginal healthcare organizations.Design/methodology/approachUsing insights from the resource-based view and knowledge-based theory of the firm, the model explains the effects of technology capabilities (TC) and organizational culture (OC) on the KM process, process innovation (PIN), administrative innovation (AIN) and OP. The authors used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to analyze data collected from 168 healthcare practitioners in Cameroon using a survey.FindingsThe authors reveal that TC and OC positively impact some KM components. Knowledge sharing (KS), knowledge acquisition (KA) and responsiveness to knowledge (RK) influence PIN, while only PIN and KA influence OP. FsQCA provided several configurations that lead to high OP within healthcare centers. As a result, the results are adaptable to any healthcare center that wishes to set up one or more KM processes.Research limitations/implicationsGiven that the results will help the health workforce make concerted decisions about medical care, the authors contribute significantly to the definition and optimization of KM in healthcare by implementing various processes and policies to ensure the continued existence of high-quality and outstanding healthcare systems. The KM propositions will enable healthcare centers to: (1) improve the quality of patient care through collegiality in medical practice; (2) optimize processes in the patient care chain; and (3) leverage knowledge gained though knowledge sharing among the medical team. The propositions open up avenues for future research in addition to providing practical implications for healthcare center practitioners.Originality/valueThis study sheds new empirical light on the relationships between KM antecedents and processes, innovation and OP in healthcare centers. This research is one of the few to examine the relationship between TC, OC, KM processes, innovation and OP in developing countries. This paper aims to fill this gap and inform future research concerning KM in the healthcare sector. Further, this study goes beyond testing the PLS-SEM approach's hypotheses by applying fsQCA to provide practical and comprehensive knowledge on how to increase the efficiency of a healthcare center through KM.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the cause–effect relationships between workplace friendship and knowledge-sharing behavior, from a static perspective. Furthermore, it investigates the bi-directional relationship between the increase in both workplace friendship and knowledge-sharing behavior over same time periods, and also endeavors to identify whether there is a significant negative lagged effect of the increase in both workplace friendship on knowledge-sharing behavior, and vice versa, across time from a dynamic perspective. Design/methodology/approach The study conducts a three-wave questionnaire survey to test the research model. A latent change score approach was used to test the direct relationship between changes in workplace friendship and changes in knowledge-sharing behavior. Findings The findings reveal that knowledge-sharing behavior fosters workplace friendship and workplace friendship promotes the emergence of knowledge-sharing behavior. An increase in workplace friendship promotes an increase in knowledge-sharing behavior over same time periods. However, an increase in workplace friendship will lead to a lagged decrease of knowledge-sharing behavior across time, and vice versa. Research limitations/implications The time interval in this study is a little short to capture the full changes in workplace friendship. Some important control factors and mediating mechanisms are not included in the research model. Practical implications This study guides managers to focus on various motivators to better strengthen workplace friendship and knowledge-sharing behavior and to consider and effectively respond to the negative side of workplace friendship and knowledge-sharing behavior across time. Originality/value This study emphasizes the predictivity of one important interaction patterns, namely, knowledge-sharing behavior on friendship at the workplace, from a static perspective. This study also shows the benefits of an increase in workplace friendship for the development of knowledge-sharing behavior in the same time period. Furthermore, the study presents a counterintuitive finding when taking the lag effect into consideration in exploring the relationship between changes both in workplace friendship and knowledge-sharing behavior, and identifies a negative side of both when viewed over longer periods.
