Research continues to emerge on correlations between the practice of self-compassion and positive coping in adverse, non-workplace related interpersonal contexts. There appears an absence both of research on the influence of self-compassion on knowledge worker subjective wellbeing, creativity and knowledge sharing behaviour, and its influence in the context of interpersonal workplace adversity, such as that associated with workplace bullying – a phenomenon becoming increasingly prevalent as cyberbullying. The purpose of this conceptual paper is to draw attention to self-compassion’s subjective wellbeing influence on knowledge worker creativity and knowledge sharing behaviour. This conceptual paper reviews the literature on workplace bullying, and positive coping strategies associated with the practice of self-compassion, in the context of Kolb’s Learning Theory (1984), that may be conducive to identifying self-compassion’s simultaneously positive influence on knowledge worker subjective wellbeing, and on creativity and knowledge sharing behaviour. This study offers conceptual contribution to the promotion of knowledge worker subjective wellbeing, creativity and knowledge sharing behaviour. It does so by drawing on Kolb’s Learning Theory (1984) to explore the influence of self-compassion positive coping strategies on personal and professional wellbeing, especially in the context of workplace situated adversity, such as that traditionally associated with perceived exposure to workplace bullying. This paper aims to stimulate applied research into the influence of self-compassion, on knowledge worker subjective wellbeing, creativity and knowledge sharing behaviour, especially in relation to positive coping strategies on exposure to interpersonally driven workplace adversity. The practical implications point to the practice of self-compassion as a positive coping strategy both to promote knowledge worker subjective wellbeing, creativity and sharing behaviour, and inform 21st century knowledge management.
