Sažetak
The paper provides insights about evasive knowledge hiding in the academic setting. We have explored situational and individual-level antecedents of intentional knowledge retentions within dyadic academic relationships. An online questionnaire survey was completed by 207 scholars from public and private economic and business schools/faculties in Croatia. Our findings confirm the importance of interpersonal trust in work relationships and support the differential role of knowledge complexity in the evasive hiding behavior. We clearly show that scholars hide knowledge partially rather than universally. While in general they are more likely to hide tacit knowledge from their academic colleagues, specifically they seem to hide knowledge more often towards distrusted occupational and university colleagues than departmental ones. In addition, their personality traits have been recognized as important determinants of academic knowledge hiding behavior. Scholars who are prosocially motivated, who have less intensive feelings for competition and who impose on themselves highly ambitious career goals reported significantly less knowledge hiding intentions.
