Supervisor Bottom-Line Mentality and Subordinates Knowledge Hiding: A Moderated Mediation Study

This article exploits and test a moderated mediation model to examine the occurrence of knowledge hiding as a consequence of subordinates’ reactive toward their supervisors with BLM. More precisely, we examine indirect relationship between supervisor BLM and subordinate knowledge hiding through subordinate BLM, as well as subordinate gender play in strengthening or mitigating this relationship. Across a field study, we found strong support for our hypotheses; these findings have a lot of implications for literature and practice.
