Summary Despite the efforts to enhance knowledge transfer in organizations, success has been elusive. It is becoming clear that many instances employees are unwilling share their even when organizational practices designed facilitate transfer. Consequently, this paper develops and investigates a novel construct, hiding. We establish hiding exists, we distinguish from related concepts (knowledge hoarding sharing), develop multidimensional measure of construct. also identify several predictors...

AN UNPRECEDENTED need for resources is now driving China's foreign policy. A booming domestic economy, rapid urbanization, increased export processing, and the Chinese people's voracious appetite cars are increasing country's demand oil natural gas, in dustrial construction materials, capital technology. Twenty years ago, China was East Asia's largest exporter. Now it world's second-largest importer; last year, alone accounted 31 percent of global growth demand. that work shop world, its...

Research has begun to document the negative organizational consequences of knowledge hiding, or intentional attempt conceal knowledge, among employees. However, different hiding behaviours exist, and we explore whether some types are more harmful than others. Although theory would suggest that hiders rationalize their fail anticipate behaviours, found they did harmed relationships retaliation. In addition, targets not always construe behaviour as necessitating Overall, our research suggests...

This article explores the role of within-person fluctuations in employees' daily surface acting and subsequent personal energy resources performance organizational citizenship behaviors directed toward other individuals workplace (OCBI). Drawing on ego depletion theory (Muraven & Baumeister, 2000), we develop a resource-based model which is negatively associated with OCBIs through manifested end-of-day exhaustion. Further integrating theory, consider baseline resource pool, as indicated by...

As societies internationalize, the demand for, and value of, various goods services increase. Individuals who possess new ideas, technologies information that abets globalization become imbued with “transnational human capital,” making them more valuable to these societies. This report looks at this issue from five perspectives. First, it shows China's education employment system is now highly internationalized. Secondly, since even Chinese scholars sent by government rely heavily on foreign...

For many years, China's government worried about the ‘brain drain’. But beginning in 1992, China began to encourage students settled abroad return for short visits and en-gage various programmes on Chinese mainland. Then, 2001, adopted a new policy, encouraging overseas mainlanders contribute modernisation, even if they stayed abroad, outlining ways could help China. This policy mirrors strategies of other countries who circulation’ develop ‘diaspora option’ order overcome loss talented...

Abstract For some developing countries, the international flow of their human talent in recent decade was more a “reverse brain gain” than “brain drain.” China, too, joined group states whose students, after studying abroad, now found sufficient opportunity and an acceptable quality life back home to make returning graduation reasonable option. Still, China had not succeeded bringing very best scientists academics. To remedy this problem, Organization Department Chinese Communist Party...

This study considers the dilemma faced by employees every time a colleague requests knowledge: should they share their knowledge? We use adaptive cost theory and self-efficacy to examine how individual characteristics (i.e., trait competitiveness) situational perceptions ‘busyness’ perceived competition) affect knowledge sharing behaviours. A was conducted with 403 students who completed problem-solving exercise were permitted (but not required) respond for from people doing same activity....

Abstract As employees find themselves in geographically separated teams, the loss of face‐to‐face interaction has led to development new monitoring technologies that provide availability information for enhancing collaboration. Drawing on diverse literatures electronic performance monitoring, computer supported cooperative work, privacy, and fairness, a comprehensive theoretical model acceptance was developed examine effects being monitored availability. In first study, over 600 from large...

A review by Campion, Palmer, and Campion (1997) identified 15 elements of interview structure made predictions regarding how applicants interviewers might react to these elements. In this 2‐sample field survey 812 interviewees 592 from over 502 organizations, was best described 4 dimensions: (a) Questioning Consistency, (b) Evaluation Standardization, (c) Question Sophistication, (d) Rapport Building. Interviewers with formal training those a selection rather than recruiting focus employed...

Promises are positioned centrally in the study of psychological contract breach and argued to distinguish contracts from related constructs, such as employee expectations. However, because effects promises delivered inducements confounded most research, role perceptions of, reactions to, remains unclear. If not an important determinant perceptions, emotions, behavioral intentions, this would suggest that construct might lack utility. To assess unique promises, authors manipulated separately...

Abstract Recent research on returning Chinese students has focused their role as an alternative solution to home country's mandate build technological capacity. This study shows the depth of ‘brain circulation’ that is underway and fact overseas are not only serving China from abroad or by returning, but after they return play a leading in many aspects China's ‘going out’ strategy. These returnee entrepreneurs present advantages economy. They have studied at best universities world, were...
