Abstract

Purpose

Given that knowledge hiding hampers the management of employee knowledge, it is important to measure the phenomena before applying the intervention to alleviate it. This paper aims to validate knowledge hiding measurements in South Korea.

Design/methodology/approach

The research collected 420 and 415 different Korean employee samples for each study, and they responded to their quality of knowledge hiding. The research conducted factor analysis using Mplus software and the Rasch model using JMetrik software based on the item response theory.

Findings

The research validated Korean versions of knowledge hiding measurements consisting of three factors and ten items. The study also found that knowledge hiding has a negative relationship with knowledge sharing and an unexpectedly positive relationship with team creativity. The study confirmed that the modified measurement yields acceptable discriminant and convergent validity.

Research limitations/implications

The research relied on self-reported data and may have an issue measuring their knowledge hiding generously. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to measure it from others, including supervisors and colleagues. This research has theoretical implications for psychometrically and systematically validating the measurement.

Practical implications

The research includes practical implications for contributing to Human resource development practitioners could assess employee traits accurately and manage their negative knowledge behavior.

Social implications

The research suggests the implications for detecting a positive relationship between knowledge hiding and team creativity. The study discussed that the specific climate could contribute to team creativity in Eastern contexts.

Originality/value

The research identified the importance of a psychometric validating process in the development of measurements.

在韩国验证知识隐藏测量
目的鉴于知识隐藏阻碍了员工的知识管理,因此在采取干预措施缓解知识隐藏之前,对这一现象进行测量非常重要。本文旨在验证韩国的知识隐藏测量结果。研究分别收集了 420 份和 415 份不同的韩国员工样本,他们对自己的知识隐藏质量做出了回答。研究基于项目反应理论,使用 Mplus 软件进行了因子分析,并使用 JMetrik 软件建立了 Rasch 模型。研究还发现,知识隐藏与知识共享存在负相关关系,而与团队创造力却意外地存在正相关关系。该研究证实,修改后的测量方法具有可接受的判别效度和收敛效度。研究局限/意义该研究依赖于自我报告的数据,因此可能存在对知识隐藏进行全面测量的问题。因此,鼓励研究人员从他人(包括上司和同事)处进行测量。这项研究对心理测量和系统验证测量方法具有理论意义。社会意义这项研究对人力资源开发从业人员准确评估员工特质和管理他们的消极知识行为具有实际意义。研究讨论了在东方环境下,特定的氛围可能有助于团队创造力的提高。原创性/价值该研究确定了心理测量验证过程在测量开发中的重要性。
