Abstract: Abstract Based on the perspective of social information processing theory and cultural dimension theory, this paper takes the innovative teams of several universities represented by Harbin Institute of Technology as the research objects, and uses a multilevel linear model to study the effect of knowledge hiding on knowledge innovative behavior (KIB) of innovative team members and the dual moderating role of team innovative climate and individual cultural values. The empirical results show that knowledge hiding has a significant negative impact on KIB, and the positive team innovative climate can significantly reduce this negative impact. However, the promotion effect of team innovative climate on team members’ KIB is heterogeneous under the different cultural values of members. Specifically, for members with high level of uncertainty avoidance or masculinity, even in the positive team innovative climate, they cannot significantly reduce this negative impact of knowledge hiding on their KIB.
