Abstract
In past literature, the variables that may discourage knowledge hiding in organizations have attracted less attention than the variables that actually cause it. We develop a construct: “Positively Perceived Supervision”. The more supervision is positively perceived, the less employees are inclined to hide their knowledge from their supervisors and from their co-workers. The more employees perceive support from co-workers, the less they will be inclined to hide knowledge from them. Surprisingly, the more employees perceive support from their organization, the more they will be inclined to hide knowledge from their supervisor and co-workers. This leads to managerial implications.
Keywords:
- Fair supervision,
- Non-abusive supervision,
- Supportive supervision,
- Knowledge hiding,
- Organizational support,
- Co-worker support
Résumé
Dans la littérature, les variables qui peuvent décourager la dissimulation de connaissances dans les organisations ont attiré moins d’attention que les variables qui la causent réellement. Nous développons un construit : « Supervision perçue positivement ». Plus la supervision est perçue positivement et moins les employés sont enclins à cacher des informations à leurs managers et collègues. Plus les employés perçoivent du soutien de la part de leurs collègues, moins ils sont enclins à leur cacher leurs connaissances. Etonnamment, plus les employés perçoivent du soutien de leur organisation et plus ils sont enclins à cacher leurs connaissances à leur superviseur et à leurs collègues. Cela a des implications managériales.
Mots-clés :
- Supervision juste,
- supervision non-abusive,
- supervision bienveillante,
- dissimulation des connaissances,
- soutien organisationnel,

Resumen
En la literatura, las variables que pueden desalentar el ocultamiento de la información en las organizaciones han recibido menos atención que las variables que realmente lo causan. Hemos desarrollado un constructo: “Percepción positiva de supervisión”. Cuanto más positivamente se perciba la supervisión, menos se inclinan los empleados a ocultarle información de sus gerentes y colaboradores. Mientras más apoyo reciban los empleados de sus colegas, es menos probable que oculten sus conocimientos. Sorprendentemente, cuanto más perciben los empleados el apoyo de su organización, más se inclinan a ocultar sus conocimientos a sus supervisores y colegas. Esto tiene implicaciones gerenciales.
Palabras clave:
- Supervisión justa,
- supervisión no abusiva,
- supervisión de apoyo,
- ocultación del conocimiento,
- apoyo organizacional,
- apoyo de compañeros de trabajo
