摘要
通过分析由问卷调查获得的379个配对样本的数据,探讨伦理型领导对员工不道德行为的影响机制。发现:伦理型领导与工具主义伦理气氛显著负相关;工具主义伦理气氛在伦理型领导与不道德行为之间起部分中介作用;内部人身份感知调节了工具主义伦理气氛在伦理型领导与不道德行为关系的中介作用。内部人身份感知水平越高,工具主义伦理气氛的中介作用越强。结论:伦理型领导会通过抑制工具主义伦理气氛来遏制员工不道德行为的发生,而内部人感知会强化工具主义伦理气氛对员工不道德行为的影响作用。
Contemporary companies are plagued by ethical problems such as stealing, cheating and abuse of resources etc. These employees＇ unethical behaviors have been found to bring a huge damage to companies. As such, the interest in employee unethical behaviors should come as no surprise in both research and in the workplace. Previous studies have recognized that both organizational factors and individual factors can affect employee unethical behaviors, but few of these studies have considered their effects on unethical behaviors jointly. Thus, to better understand the mechanisms underlying employee unethical behavior, this study proposed and tested a moderated mediation model in which ethical leadership （organizational factor） influences employees＇ unethical behavior, with ethical climate （organizational factor） as a mediator and perceived insider status （individual factor） as a moderator.
436 survey questionnaires were distributed to the companies located in Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces, covering manufacturing, high technology, real estate, etc. In the end, 412 employees returned the questionnaires （response rate was 94.5%）. After screening out the problematic cases, the final sample consists of 379 employees. 48.8% were male, 51.2% were female; the mean age was 30.66 the average of organizational tenure was 6.36.
The results showed that： （1） ethical leadership was negatively related to instrumental ethical climate; 2） instrumental ethical climate partially mediated the relationship between the ethical leadership and the employees＇ unethical behavior; 3） the employees＇ perceived insider status moderated the relationship between instrumental ethical climate and employee＇s unethical behavior; 4） the employees＇ perceived insider status moderated the mediated relationship through instrumental ethical climate; that is, the higher the perceived insider status shows that the mediated relationship is stronger.
By integrating the factors at organizational （i.e., ethical leade
