Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive review of the knowledge-hiding field based on objective measures of impact. Research on knowledge hiding has grown in recent years, resulting in a body of literature that now includes 103 articles specifically discussing knowledge hiding and/or knowledge withholding in organisations. Our study presents a quantitative review of these studies using a combination of three bibliometric techniques: document co-citation analysis, co-word analysis and bibliographic coupling. We present an overview of the past, present, and proposed future of knowledge-hiding research. Our bibliometric review enables us to identify the most influential topics, determine the underlying structure and theoretical foundations of the field, and detect emerging topics. The theoretical and methodological implications of our work suggest the emergence of new sub-fields and future opportunities for connections with other streams of knowledge-management research.
