In accordance with social exchange theory, to be good in case of doing good and vice versa. By applying social exchange theory, it has been observed employees hide their knowledge when they have uncivilized environment in which they are working. Imbalanced environment in term of attitude causes knowledge hiding. This negativity also creates a gap in their personal and professional life. Factor of spirituality is being used as a moderator for the reduction of positive relationship between knowledge hiding & workplace incivility. Attachment theory has been used to support spirituality as a moderator. Those who are near to spirituality, are found, lesser in knowledge hiding. This study is being conducted for the explicit understanding the role of spirituality in the workplace by taking it as a moderator between workplace incivility & knowledge hiding in textile companies of Lahore, Pakistan. Additionally, it has been examined that how spirituality reduces the relationship among these variables. By collecting the data from 223 employees after excluding the outliers, which consist on senior managers, middle managers and officers from the six different textile companies of Lahore, results of this study reveals that spirituality has positive outcomes when knowledge is hidden by employees in shape of playing dumb, evasive & rationalize hiding.
