Abstract
This study critically evaluates the evolution and intellectual landscape of knowledge hiding (KH) research in organizations from 2005 to 2024. Using a bibliometric and systematic literature review of 116 quantitative peer-reviewed articles and applying the PRISMA methodology, this study employs five bibliometric techniques via VOSviewer to map the field’s social, conceptual, and intellectual structures. Guided by the TCCM framework, the findings highlight rapid KH growth post-2015, with key themes of trust, leadership, and psychological safety. Social Exchange Theory dominates the theoretical framework. This study identifies gaps in integrative models and underexplored contexts. It offers a datadriven, theory-informed agenda and practical HR insights for reducing KH and boosting innovation.
