The study aims to explore the impact of job-related factors (task interdependence and knowledge complexity) on academics' knowledge hiding behaviors. To achieve this, data were collected from a random sample of 279 academic professors belonging to four humanities colleges at the University of Karbala, namely: College of Education for Humanities, College of Islamic Sciences, College of Tourism Sciences, and College of Law. The study relied on a set of statistical methods, including exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, and structural equation modeling. The data were analyzed using SPSS V.26 and AMOS V.23 software. The results revealed a significant impact of both task interdependence and knowledge complexity on knowledge hiding behaviors, as it was found that a highly interdependent work environment limits negative behaviors associated with knowledge hiding, which enhances the culture of knowledge sharing within academic institutions. The studyhighlights the importance of developing effective knowledge management policies in the academic environment, with the aim of enhancing the culture of cooperation and participation, which is positively reflected in the quality of education and scientific research. The study also provides practical recommendations for decision-makers to develop management strategies that reduce the phenomenon of knowledge hiding and enhance the collaborative work environment within academic institutions.
