Findings: all of the studies indicated that knowledge hiding behavior hurts organizational performance and develop unhealthy working environments. Limitations/ implications: this systematic review is designed only to present a conceptual synthesis of existing works. A meta-analysis to an empirical study to obtain a more detailed framework is encouraged.
