Knowledge Sharing Behavior Data

With the continuous iteration of knowledge economy, knowledge sharing is becoming one of the most effective means to maintain the continuity and creativity of organizational knowledge, and knowledge workers are thus increasingly vehicle and source of organization’s knowledge and culture. Meanwhile, because of fear of success, and having a prevention focus, knowledge workers may be inclined to share their knowledge in the workplace. Based on the resources conservation theory, this study focus itself on the investigation of the reversed impact mechanism and boundary condition of being envied on knowledge sharing. By way of a mediation (fear of success) and moderation (prevention) model, the study collects the data from a questionnaire of 410 knowledge workers in China, and the initial findings are: being envied of knowledge worker has a negative impact on knowledge sharing, while fear of success has a partial mediation; and, prevention focus negatively moderates the relation between being envied and knowledge sharing. The study enriches the researches of knowledge workers behavior, and of the influence of being envied in the organizational context, and it also provides some theoretical and managerial insights for useful knowledge sharing.随着知识经济的持续迭代发展，知识共享正成为维系组织知识连续性与创新性的最有效手段之一，而知识工作者（knowledge workers）也日益成为组织知识与文化的载体与源泉。与此同时，受成功恐惧（fear of success）与防御型聚焦（prevention focus）心理的影响，知识工作者在职场中可能会倾向于开展知识共享行为。本研究基于资源保存理论（Resources Conservation Theory），聚焦探究被嫉妒对知识共享的反向影响机制与边界条件。本研究采用中介（成功恐惧）-调节（防御型聚焦）模型，针对中国410名知识工作者发放问卷并收集数据，初步研究结果显示：知识工作者遭受嫉妒会对其知识共享行为产生负向影响，成功恐惧在其中发挥部分中介作用；而防御型聚焦会负向调节被嫉妒与知识共享之间的关系。本研究丰富了知识工作者行为领域以及组织情境下被嫉妒现象影响的相关研究，同时也为推动良性知识共享提供了一定的理论与管理启示。
