This study aims to examine the impact of prosocial motivation on knowledge sharing and hiding in organizations. In this study, the term prosocial motivation refers to the desire to expend effort to benefit others at work. Knowledge sharing means providing knowledge and information to others. Knowledge hiding, meanwhile, refers to an intentional attempt to withhold or conceal knowledge even when requested by others, and includes three dimensions: evasive hiding, playing dumb, and rationalized hiding. Knowledge sharing is a desirable behavior in organizations but could be challenging to promote. Because knowledge is one of the resources that can be used to gain competitive advantages, employees often face the dilemma of choosing between personal and collective interests. If they are prosocially motivated, they would be inclined to share their knowledge with others. However, prosocial motivation does not necessarily promote knowledge sharing. Previous research has indicated that employees hide their knowledge not only due to malintent but also for prosocial reasons. To examine how prosocial motivation affects knowledge sharing and hiding in the workplace, we focused on the regulatory forms of motivation, specifically the autonomous and controlled forms in the self-determination theory (SDT). According to SDT, autonomous motivation promotes knowledge sharing and reduces knowledge hiding. Meanwhile, controlled motivation promotes knowledge hiding. We developed hypotheses about the relationships between such two forms of prosocial motivation, and knowledge sharing and hiding, and analyzed the questionnaire survey responses of 761 full-time non-managerial employees in Japanese firms. The results indicated that autonomous prosocial motivation (APM) is positively related to knowledge sharing, and negatively related to knowledge hiding, except rationalized hiding. Furthermore, they showed that controlled prosocial motivation (CPM) is positively related to all dimensions of knowledge hiding. We also discussed the study's theoretical contributions and implications for future research.

仕事や職場において他者に恩恵を与えようとする動機づけを意味する向社会的モチベーション(PM)は,従来自律的側面が重視され,成員への好影響が指摘されてきた.本稿は自己決定理論の観点からPM概念を再検討し,統制的側面の存在とそれが成員に悪影響を与える可能性を論じる.分析の結果,自律的PMと統制的PMの 因子が確認され,これらが主観的バイタリティと情緒的消耗感に異なる影響を及ぼすことが示された.
