研究人员引入了亲社会规则打破(PSRB)的概念,以解释员工在促进组织福利和遵守组织规则之间遇到道德困境的情况。PSRB可以被认为是一种道德决策 组织,但很少有研究者使用伦理决策理论来研究它。采用道德许可的观点,我们认为,组织公民行为(OCB)是组织内道德行为的典型形式,它可以预测PSRB,并且这种关系将 以道德自我形象为中介,以组织公民行为的内在动机为中介。对433名中国员工的2波调查结果表明,员工的组织公民行为通过道德自我形象的中介作用,对员工的组织公民行为有显著的正向影响。此外,当组织公民行为的内在动机是 高,组织公民行为与道德自我形象的关系被放大,并给予员工更多的信心,实践PSRB。我们的发现有助于理解PSRB和道德许可理论。
Researchers have introduced the prosocial rule breaking (PSRB) concept to explain situations where employees encounter an ethical dilemma between promoting the welfare of the organization and following organizational regulations. PSRB can be regarded as ethical decision making in an organization, but few researchers have used ethical decision theories to study it. Adopting the moral licensing perspective, we argued that organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), the typical form of moral conduct within organizations, would predict PSRB, and that this relationship would be mediated by moral selfimage and moderated by intrinsic motivation for OCB. Results of our 2-wave survey of 433 Chinese employees showed that employees’ OCB had a positive effect on PSRB through the mediator of moral self-image. Additionally, when intrinsic motivation toward OCB was high, the relationship between OCB and moral self-image was amplified and gave more confidence to employees to practice PSRB. Our findings contribute to the understanding of PSRB and moral licensing theory.
