Abstract

This research aims to contribute to the literature on unethical behaviour by exploring the effect of abusive supervision on employees’ unethical behaviour. Also, the mediating role of ethical climate in this relationship is investigated. For this purpose, data was collected through a survey of 440 people working in information technology (IT) companies in Istanbul and Kocaeli cities, Turkey. First, validity and reliability tests were applied to the collected data. After determining that validity and reliability were appropriate, hypothesis tests were carried out using regression analysis.Additionally, Hayes' PROCESS Macro model was used to test the mediating role of ethical climate. SPSS version 23 package program was used to analyze the data. According to the results obtained, it is found that i-) abusive supervision is positively related to unethical behaviour, ii-) ethical climate is negatively related to unethical behaviour, iii-) abusive supervision is negatively related to ethical climate, and iv-) ethical climate partially mediates the relationship between abusive supervision and unethical behaviours.

道德氛围在滥用监督与不道德行为之间关系中的中介作用

本研究旨在通过探讨滥用监督对员工不道德行为的影响，为有关不道德行为的文献做出贡献。此外，还研究了道德氛围在这种关系中的中介作用。为此，我们对土耳其伊斯坦布尔和科贾埃利市信息技术（IT）公司的 440 名员工进行了调查，收集了相关数据。首先，对收集到的数据进行了有效性和可靠性测试。此外，还使用 Hayes 的 PROCESS Macro 模型来检验道德氛围的中介作用。数据分析使用了 SPSS 23 版软件包程序。分析结果表明：i-）滥用监督与不道德行为呈正相关；ii-）道德氛围与不道德行为呈负相关；iii-）滥用监督与道德氛围呈负相关；iv-）道德氛围部分调节了滥用监督与不道德行为之间的关系。
