Globalization drives information transitions, necessitating Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for efficient coordination
in higher educational institutes. Deployment is a costly and intricate process that requires specific success factors. Previous research focused on management, overlooking user perspectives. The study uses a quantitative methodology to

implementation of an ERP system requires top management endorsement, functional assistance, a reliable partner,
comprehensive training, active user engagement, a proficient ERP team, robust MIS department, meticulous planning,
organizational support, effective change management, well established IT infrastructure, superior ERP software selection,
and a deep understanding of the ERP concept. Critical success factors significantly impact ERP implementation success in
developing countries. Organizations should consider financial, employee, application, technical, and vendor capabilities when selecting an ERP system, providing valuable insights for policymakers.

The research aimed to explore the influence of abusive supervision on knowledge hiding, considering the concept of
overall justice within the framework of social exchange theory. Additionally, employing a moderated mediation model, we
investigated the role of gender as a moderator in the connection between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding mediated by overall justice, grounded in social role theory. The data was collected from the participants through likert questionnaire. Smart-PLS software was employed to conduct data analysis. The results, based on a sample of 351 participants from private sector universities in Pakistan, revealed that abusive supervision negatively impacts overall justice. However, the effects of overall justice on knowledge hiding and its mediation between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding were not statistically significant. Nevertheless, abusive supervision's impact on knowledge hiding via overall justice was significant among males but not females. This research contributes valuable insights to the understanding of how individuals of different genders respond to abusive supervision in their pursuit of fairness, thus enriching the literature on knowledge hiding.
