Abstract
This article addresses unexplored questions related to why and when employees’ experience of work overload might spur their knowledge hiding behaviour, in a process mediated by family‐unfriendly time demands and moderated by a competitive organisational climate. Two‐wave, time‐lagged data, collected from employees in multiple industries, reveal that a notable reason that excessive work pressures escalate into enhanced knowledge hiding is that employees believe they have to put their jobs before their family lives. This mediating role of family‐unfriendly time demands is particularly salient in the presence of performance‐oriented organisational climates. For human resource managers, this research underscores a critical factor – the sense that employees have to sacrifice their family lives for work – through which excessive work pressures may lead employees to conceal valuable knowledge. It also reveals how this risk can be subdued by an organisational culture that avoids a strict focus on performance comparisons across employees.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
