“…According to conservation of resource theory, SME employees have scarce (for outsiders) or heterogeneous (for insiders) intellectual resources (French et al, 2015), and especially, study has demonstrated that differentiated leadership can impede personal knowledge sharing (Gelens et al, 2014;Sembiring et al, 2020). By damaging individual motivations to engage in information interaction and communication, differential superiors may weaken interpersonal relationships with trust, develop increased conflict, and slow down information exchange and resource sharing in terms of knowledge-intensive industry (Yeşil and Dereli, 2013;Tan et al, 2022), which accelerate the knowledge hiding process. In addition, social cognitive theory has opened up a new path for social learning process (Scott et al, 2022).…”

Leadership is considered as a significant antecedent of knowledge hiding in SMEs (small and medium enterprises), but the differential dimension of leadership has been evidently neglected in both theoretical and empirical areas. Drawing on conservation of resource theory and social cognitive theory, this research investigates whether and how SME differential leadership influences subordinate knowledge hiding. Specifically, we analyze the underlying mechanisms of a chain-mediator—job insecurity and territorial consciousness and a boundary condition—leadership performance expectation. Multi-wave and multi-source data were collected from a sample of 704 Chinese SME employees and 140 relevant leaders and applied HLM meso-mediational frameworks, and Bootstrap technique with non-parametric percentile residuals for deviation correction. The results show that differential leadership plays a potential role in promoting subordinate knowledge hiding through the serial intervening mechanism of job Insecurity and territorial consciousness in SMEs. Furthermore, the positive relationship between SME differential leadership and job insecurity becomes stronger among subordinates under higher leadership performance expectation; the positive indirect relationship between SME differential leadership and subordinate knowledge hiding is stronger with higher levels of leadership performance expectation. This study contributes to the existing academic literature by empirically analyzing the under-investigated correlation between differential leadership and subordinate knowledge hiding in SMEs, and by exploring the underlying mechanisms and a boundary condition.

“…When the TMX median is high, that is, when most members are able to develop highquality TMXs with others (Liden et al, 2006). In this group, members trusted with each other and have a collective identity orientation (Tan et al, 2022). Moreover, they would focus on their current tasks rather than focus on the imbalance (Haynie, 2011).…”

“…What's more, Zhao (2015) also suggested that when group members form high-quality social exchange relationships with coworkers, they tend to focus on collective interests instead of relationship differentiation within groups. However, in groups with a low-level TMX median, each member will concern for their own interests and will not seek feedback (Tan et al, 2022). In this case, employees with high LMXRS are increasingly aware of the imbalance in terms of LMX quality, and they may feel isolated, tense or even hostile from others instead of emotional support from other colleagues.…”

PurposeThe aim is to test the influence of leader-member exchange relational separation (LMXRS) on individual creativity by building up a cross-level moderated mediation model. Besides exploring the mediating role of emotional support in linking LMXRS with individual creativity, this study also examines the moderating role of group-level team-leader exchange (TMX) in affecting the mediation.Design/methodology/approachLongitudinal data for 321 employees on 68 groups in over ten enterprises from China was employed to examine this model.FindingsResults showed that LMXRS affected individual creativity negatively. Further, LMXRS had an indirect effect on individual creativity via emotional support. Finally, moderated path analysis revealed TMX median attenuated LMXRS direct influence on emotional support and indirect effect on individual creativity.Originality/valueThe empirical research investigates the mediating influence of emotional support on the association between LMXRS and individual creativity. The multilevel moderated mediation model also expands the current findings by examining that group-level TMX quality can moderate the indirect influence of LMXRS on individual creativity through emotional support.

PurposeIncivility constitutes an increasing trend in different workplaces across the world. However, incivility has largely been overlooked in public organizational settings and mainly in the field of secondary education. The purpose of this paper is to provide a better understanding of the effects of supervisor incivility (SI) on psychological safety and work engagement of teachers of secondary schools, through the schools' level of perceived insider status (PIS).Design/methodology/approachData were collected through an online questionnaire that was based on previously validated scales. The final sample included 396 educators who taught different subjects in a Greek region.FindingsResults revealed a negative correlation between head teacher incivility and teacher attitudes (psychological safety/work engagement) through the mediating role of PIS. However, a direct link between SI and psychological safety was also discovered.Originality/valueThe contribution of the study is in exploring one part of the dark side of leadership behavior, e.g. SI, at school and leadership behavior's effects on teacher attitudes, which remain largely unexplored due to teacher embarrassment or fear in acknowledging supervisor misbehavior. Further, the study does not only examine direct, but also indirect effects of incivility. Finally, the current study is the first study to investigate the phenomenon of SI in the Greek context, therefore, extending the geographical and cultural data base concerning incivility.
