- Abstract
Previous research on knowledge hiding has mostly focused on its negative effects, however, the hider might also make up for their mistakes by using their skills. This study is based on the compensatory ethics, aiming to explore the generation mechanism of subsequent altruistic behavior of knowledge hiders from the perspectives of moral cognition and moral emotion. This research uses mature scales to conduct questionnaire surveys and collects data from two stages through longitudinal tracking. The collected 356 sets of data are analyzed using SPSS and MPLUS software. The results show that knowledge hiding has an impact on its subsequent altruistic behavior through the dual mediation of the hider’s moral deficit (cognitive path) and guilt (emotional path). This research provides a new perspective for promoting knowledge management within organizations: Managers should establish a moral norm mechanism within the organization that is oriented towards improvement and enhancement. This can induce employees to face their immoral behaviors and compensate for their mistakes by practicing positive behaviors.
