Astuti Paramita Supatni, Sinto Sunaryo

Abstract


This research analyzes the trends of knowledge hiding in business organizations. To conduct a comprehensive review of the topic, 386 English language research articles from the Scopus database produced between 1982 and 2023 were analyzed. The data was analyzed using Bibliometrix and Vosviewer software, and presented in descriptive and content analysis. The study aims to provide a better understanding of publication performance, thematic evolution, and the most influential topics in knowledge hiding research through science mapping. The paper offers a general review of past and present knowledge hiding research, and proposes future research agendas on the topic. The study found that knowledge hiding research trends have increased rapidly in the last two years. Most articles focus on knowledge hiding, knowledge sharing, and knowledge management behavior. However, there is a growing interest in exploring three dimensions of knowledge hiding, namely, playing dumb, evasive hiding, and rationalized hiding. Future research may investigate the positive impacts of knowledge hiding on individuals, work teams, or companies at large
