Figure 1.
The diagram presents a horizontal sequence of four numbered stages connected by arrows. Stage 1 is labelled pre-survey and includes a text box stating that it is used to collect baseline data on demographics, attitudes toward knowledge sharing, and initial perceptions of knowledge hiding. Stage 2 is labelled collaborative group task and includes a text box stating that it is used to observe real time knowledge hiding behaviours and group interactions during a collaborative task. Stage 3 is labelled post survey and includes a text box stating that it is used to gather insights from both knowledge hiders and non-hiders on their perceptions and experiences related to knowledge hiding and its impact on group dynamics. Stage 4 is labelled post-interview and includes a text box stating that it is used to explore in detail the experiences, strategies, and impacts of knowledge hiding through interviews with both hiders and non-hiders.Study design overview
