20.500.12556/RUL-176760 The dual effects of job design on knowledge hiding expanding job demands–resources theory to employee rational-choice behaviour Human resource management (HRM) literature often uses motivational theories to examine how job design motivates employees to manage newly established employee behaviours such as knowledge-hiding. However, the literature finds that whereas job-design characteristics reduce knowledge hiding, others unexpectedly encourage it. By integrating the cost-benefit analysis framework into the job demands–resources (JD–R) theory, we examine how job demands and job resources as two distinct types of job-design characteristics influence the expected costs and benefits of sharing solicited knowledge to affect knowledge hiding differently. In summary, we find that job demands encourage knowledge hiding, whereas job resources lower it. We contribute that job-design characteristics act as job demands or resources to affect knowledge hiding differently. Further, we explain the unexpected findings concerning why and how job-design characteristics – as job demands – encourage knowledge hiding by stimulating the expected costs but do not motivate employees to produce the expected benefits. In addition, by integrating the cost-benefit analysis framework into the JD–R theory, we contribute that job demands and resources affect the cost-benefit analyses, influencing employees’ rational choice behaviour. This integration considerably expands the JD-R theory’s application scope from employee well-being and performance to rational choice behaviours personnel human capital Job design job demands–resources theory cost-benefit analysis framework within social exchange theory employee motivation theories–self-determination theory and job characteristics model knowledge hiding employee rational–choice and (counter)productive behaviour kadri človeški kapital prenos znanja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-10 16:20:17 2025-12-10 16:25:17 2025-12-13 03:44:07 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 173-205 iss. 2 Vol. 36 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 331.108 0958-5192 10.1080/09585192.2024.2442081 220634883 The_dual_effects_of_job_design_on_knowledge_hiding__expanding_job_demands_resources_theory_to_employee_rational-choice_behaviour.pdf The_dual_effects_of_job_design_on_knowledge_hiding__expanding_job_demands_resources_theory_to_employee_rational-choice_behaviour.pdf 1 05CEA556C12470B960C22FA9067110E4 575d6310eba9473550ced3fdf312ad007758ae7887464db5167c9df9527f8f7c e26bb754-d5db-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=223331 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09585192.2024.2442081 0 c3bde8d1-d5db-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=223330 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
