| Unethical pro-organizational behavior is a kind of behavior that employees take to promote the development of the organization,which has certain spontaneity and violates social norms,morality and even laws.Studies has shown that the causes of unethical pro-organizational behavior include both individual and organizational environment factors.Among the personality factors,the houheixue personality attracts many researchers’ attention.Known as "China’s machiavellian",individuals with a high level of houheixue personality tend to be ruthless,manipulative,scheming,pragmatic,results-oriented and unethical.From the perspective of trait activation theory,foreign researchers have proved that houheixue personality can positively predict the emergence of unethical pro-organizational behavior.However,emotional indifference and individualism in the houheixue personality conflict with the pro-organization motivation in the unethical pro-organizational behavior.In order to explain this contradiction,this study focuses on the variable of positive reciprocity beliefs,and hopes to explore the psychological mechanism of the influence of houheixue personality on the unethical pro-organizational behavior through the analysis of mediating effect.At the same time,as an organizational variable,whether the competitive climate plays a role in the process of the influence of houheixue personality on unethical pro-organizational behavior is also concerned by researchers.Some previous studies have found that high competitive pressure in an organization will prompt some employees to commit unethical behaviors to improve their performance.So the aim of this study is to build a moderated mediating effect model that houheixue personality as independent variable,hydrophilic group unethical behavior as the dependent variable,positive reciprocity beliefs as the mediator variable,and competitive climate as the moderator variable,to explore the role of competitive climate and positive reciprocity beliefs in the relationship of houheixue personality and hydrophilic.Then designs two studies to examine the model.In study 1,questionnaires were distributed to the employees of enterprises in Nanjing and surrounding areas,and 513 valid questionnaires were collected to measure the level of houheixue personality,positive reciprocity beliefs and unethical proorganizational behavior.Then on the basis of the study 1,the competitive climate was introduced as a moderator variable in study 2,and the competitive atmosphere was adjusted and manipulated by experimental methods.516 employees of enterprises were recruited in Nanjing and surrounding areas as subjects.The results are as follows: there is a significant positive correlation between houheixue personality,positive reciprocity beliefs and unethical pro-organizational behavior.Positive reciprocity beliefs play a part mediating in the influence of houheixue personality on unethical pro-organizational behavior.The overall mediated model with competitive climate as the regulating variable is not valid.At the same time,it is found that the influence of houheixue personality and competitive climate on unethical proorganizational behavior has an interactive effect significantly.In addition,the second study also verified the conclusion of the study 1,the positive reciprocity beliefs plays an mediating role between the houheixue personality and unethical pro-organizational behavior.Research conclusions are as follows: employees with a higher level of houheixue personality tend to have a higher level of positive reciprocity beliefs,which makes them more prone to unethical pro-organizational behavior.In the face of the competitive climate from a lower level to a higher level,the probability of unethical proorganizational behavior of the high houheixue personality level always remains at a high level.And the probability of the employees with low houheixue personality level will have a more obvious rise. |
