Abstract: The primary objective of this research is to examine the correlation between knowledge hiding and academic and employee performances in the setting of private institutions in Mogadishu. This study used a quantitative methodology to carry out field research with a sample size of 120 academic staff members. The data collection method was executed meticulously, ensuring that the study’s findings maintain high validity and reliability. Statistical software such as SPSS and Smart PLS were subsequently utilised to analyse the data. The research findings indicate that including evasive hiding positively impacts academic and employee performances. Play dumb and rational hiding strategies negatively impact academic and employee arrangements within the context of private universities in Mogadishu. The presented empirical data contribute to the current theoretical understanding of the detrimental impacts of knowledge hiding. They precisely examine the widespread occurrences of evasive, play dumb and reasonable hiding. This study contributes substantially to the current scholarly debate around knowledge hiding inside academic institutions, providing valuable insights into the adverse outcomes associated with this phenomenon. A list of recommendations for future research was provided in the study in response to the identified limitations.
