employees who intentionally hide more knowledge seem bound to receive such selfish behavior in return from their co-workers, which will ultimately hurt them and decrease their creativity. This could also be described using the metaphor of shooting yourself in the foot. Adds one of the papers authors, Matej Cerne of Ljubljana University in Slovenia, In workplaces that have what we call a performance climate, where employees are encouraged to compete with each other in the belief that this enhances performance, workers will certainly have an incentive to hide knowledge. But theyre not likely to gain from it, because in the tit-for-tat culture that prevails in such settings co-workers will respond in kind and the culprits standing with the boss will probably suffer.
