Individuals' knowledge hiding behavior may lead to massive economic losses to organizations, and exploring the antecedents of it has crucial relevance for mitigating its negative influences. This research aims to investigate the impact of perceived overqualification on knowledge hiding by testing the mediating effect of psychological capital and the moderating effect of person-organization fit. Empirical analyses were conducted on 249 employee dataset using versions SPSS 26 and AMOS 26. Results illustrate an inverse correlation between perceived overqualification and knowledge hiding behavior which is partly mediated by psychological capital and moderated by person-organization fit, implying that good organizational atmosphere that builds up individual psychological capital with better person-organization fit will allow employees to work positively to reduce knowledge hiding behavior when perceived overqualified. This study complements a small quantity of discussions on the positive impact of perceived overqualification on knowledge management and fills omissions in previous studies on the negative effect of perceived overqualification on knowledge hiding behavior in changing surroundings.
个体的知识隐藏行为可能会给组织带来巨大的经济损失，探究其影响因素对于减轻其负面影响至关重要。本研究旨在通过检验心理资本的中介作用和个人-组织匹配的调节作用，探讨感知过度资格对知识隐藏的影响。使用SPSS 26和AMOS 26版本对249名员工的数据集进行了实证分析。结果表明，感知过度资格与知识隐藏行为之间存在负相关，心理资本在其中起部分中介作用，个人-组织匹配起调节作用，这意味着营造良好的组织氛围，通过更好的个人-组织匹配来增强个体心理资本，将使员工在感知过度资格时积极工作，减少知识隐藏行为。本研究补充了少量关于感知过度资格对知识管理的积极影响的讨论，并填补了以往研究在不断变化的环境中关于感知过度资格对知识隐藏行为负面影响的遗漏。
