Top management team (TMT) knowledge hiding, which is not only related to the normal operation of the team but also closely related to enterprise innovation performance, has been paid little attention to in the previous studies. Based on the theories of upper echelons, knowledge management, and innovation, this study proposed a moderated mediation model to research how TMT knowledge hiding affected enterprise innovation performance. In this model, TMT knowledge hiding was the independent variable, TMT creativity was the mediating variable, enterprise innovation performance was the dependent variable, and team competitive climate was the moderating variable. MPLUS7.0 was used for the CFAs to evaluate the discriminate validities of the key variables, and SPSS 22.0 was used to calculate the descriptive statistics, analyze the correlations between variables, make the multiple regression analysis, and process the data obtained from 612 executives in 53 TMTs. The results showed that TMT knowledge hiding had a significant negative impact on enterprise innovation performance; TMT creativity had a partial mediating effect between TMT knowledge hiding and enterprise innovation performance, and team competitive climate had a moderating effect on the relationship between TMT knowledge hiding and TMT creativity. These research results fill up the gap of the theoretical research in TMT knowledge hiding and provide scientific guidance to reasonably reduce or eliminate the phenomenon of TMT knowledge hiding and improve enterprise innovation performance.
高层管理团队（TMT）知识隐藏不仅与团队的正常运作相关，还与企业创新绩效密切相关，但以往研究对此关注较少。基于高层梯队理论、知识管理理论和创新理论，本研究提出了一个有调节的中介模型，以研究TMT知识隐藏如何影响企业创新绩效。在该模型中，TMT知识隐藏是自变量，TMT创造力是中介变量，企业创新绩效是因变量，团队竞争氛围是调节变量。使用MPLUS7.0进行验证性因素分析（CFAs）以评估关键变量的区分效度，使用SPSS 22.0计算描述性统计量、分析变量之间的相关性、进行多元回归分析，并对来自53个TMT的612位高管的数据进行处理。结果表明，TMT知识隐藏对企业创新绩效有显著的负面影响；TMT创造力在TMT知识隐藏与企业创新绩效之间起部分中介作用，团队竞争氛围对TMT知识隐藏与TMT创造力之间的关系起调节作用。这些研究结果填补了TMT知识隐藏理论研究的空白，并为合理减少或消除TMT知识隐藏现象以及提高企业创新绩效提供了科学指导。
