Abstract
In this study we draw on self-consistency theory and examine the effects of perceived organizational exploitation on employees’ intention to leave, cyberloafing, and proactive behavior. We reveal the mediating effect of organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) and the moderating effect of task performance. We analyzed data from 223 matched supervisor-subordinate dyads in China and found that OBSE partially mediated the relationships between perceived organizational exploitation and employees’ intention to leave and cyberloafing, and fully mediated the association between perceived organizational exploitation and proactive behavior. In addition, high task performers suffered more damage at the hands of organizational exploitation than low task performers. Task performance strengthened the direct influence of perceived organizational exploitation on OBSE and its indirect effects on intention to leave, cyberloafing, and proactive behavior via OBSE. Our findings have theoretical and practical implications and provide new directions for research into organizational exploitation, OBSE, and job attitudes and behavior.
期刊介绍:
The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include:
Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries.
Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region.
Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
