Abstract: Knowledge hiding in the workplace poses a significant challenge to organizational productivity and innovation.Knowledge hiding, an important organizational issue, has been linked to various negative outcomes.This study explores the antecedents, consequences, and mitigation strategies of knowledge hiding, drawing on qualitative analysis of secondary data.Findings indicate that knowledge hiding disrupts trust, collaboration, and efficiency while fostering a toxic work culture.Mitigation strategies, including fostering trust-based leadership, implementing equitable policies, and leveraging technology, are discussed.Future research should address the impact of emerging trends such as remote work and AI integration.Addressing knowledge hiding is critical for organizational resilience and sustained success.
