Penelitian ini mencari artikel mengenai knowledge hiding melalui tiga basis data elektronik, yaitu SCOPUS, Web of Science, dan CINAHL yang dipublikasikan dari tahun 2012-2024 dengan menerapkan beberapa kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi yang telah ditentukan untuk memperoleh artikel yang relevan. Penelitian ini kemudian memperoleh 19 studi dari 313 artikel yang ditemukan, dan menemukan bahwa knowledge hiding adalah perilaku kontraproduktif yang dipicu oleh beberapa faktor dan berdampak pada hasil berkaitan dengan pekerjaan karyawan yang mekanismenya dijelaskan melalui beberapa teori.
