Purpose

Abusive supervision is found to influence the workplace negatively but how it predicts knowledge hiding behavior is an area that has not gained due attention in the literature. To this backdrop, this study aims to investigate the effect of abusive supervision on knowledge hiding behavior considering future orientation and Islamic work ethics (IWE) as moderators.

Design/methodology/approach

The data from 396 employees, working in both manufacturing and service sectors, is collected through a questionnaire-based survey in two-lags between November 2019 and January 2020.

Findings

Structural equation modeling highlighted that a positive relationship exists between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding behavior. Moreover, higher levels of IWE and future orientation are found to weaken the said relationship.

Practical implications

This paper provides practical understandings into extenuating the destructive effects of the dark side of leadership (abusive supervision), a prevalent issue in Asian societies, through the lens of personality (future orientation) and belief (IWE).

Originality/value

This study adds value by investigating the relationship between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding by demonstrating the moderating effects of IWE and future orientation in the context of Pakistan.

滥用监督和知识隐藏：未来导向和伊斯兰职业道德的调节作用

目的

滥用监督被发现会对工作场所产生负面影响，但它如何预测知识隐藏行为是一个在文献中没有得到应有关注的领域。在此背景下，本研究旨在以未来导向和伊斯兰职业道德 (IWE) 作为调节器，研究滥用监督对知识隐藏行为的影响。

设计/方法/方法

2019 年 11 月至 2020 年 1 月期间，通过基于问卷的调查收集了 396 名在制造业和服务业工作的员工的数据。

发现

结构方程模型强调了滥用监督和知识隐藏行为之间存在正相关关系。此外，发现更高水平的 IWE 和未来导向会削弱上述关系。

实际影响

本文通过个性（未来导向）和信念 (IWE) 的视角，为减轻领导力的阴暗面（滥用监督）的破坏性影响提供了实用的理解，这是亚洲社会的一个普遍问题。

原创性/价值

本研究通过证明 IWE 的调节作用和巴基斯坦背景下的未来导向来调查滥用监督和知识隐藏之间的关系，从而增加了价值。
