Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of corporate governance (CG) mechanisms on earnings management (EM) within the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries. In addition, the impact of firm’s political connections (PCs) on EM is investigated, as well as whether it moderates the relationship between CG and EM.

Design/methodology/approach

Fixed-effects model is used on a sample of non-financial firms across the GCC countries to test the hypotheses. Moreover, a two-stage least squares method and a propensity score matching procedure are used to mitigate potential reverse causality and sample selection bias.

Findings

This study reveals that CG mechanisms such as board size and board independence are negatively associated with EM, while CEO duality is positively association with EM. In addition, this study shows that institutional ownership and blockholders do not influence EM. Furthermore, PCs are shown to play a moderating role in the relationship between CG and EM. The results of this study are robust to endogeneity testing and to alternative measures of CG.

Research limitations/implications

Because of a lack of data, the authors do not consider additional CG attributes such as tenure, education and age of board members. Future research could explore the impact of these attributes when data becomes available.

Practical implications

This study provides valuable insights for government officials, policymakers, standard-setters, regulators and corporations by presenting new evidence on the relationship among CG, PCs and EM. Moreover, this study underscores that, in the absence of a strong institutional infrastructure and investor protection, relying solely on strong CG and Islamic values and GCC culture may have a limited impact on effective monitoring of opportunistic managerial behaviors.

Originality/value

This study contributes to existing literature with a specific focus on the unique political, legal, institutional, social and cultural setting of the GCC region. Moreover, this study provides new insights that PCs serve as a governance mechanism in mitigating EM because relatively little attention has been given to the impact of PCs in improving accounting outcomes, especially in the context of the GCC region where Islamic ethical norms often shape business practices.

目的本研究旨在探讨海湾合作委员会(GCC)国家的公司治理(CG)机制对收益管理(EM)的影响。此外,本研究还探讨了公司的政治关系(PCs)对收益管理的影响,以及政治关系是否会调节公司治理与收益管理之间的关系。设计/方法/途径对海湾合作委员会国家的非金融公司样本采用固定效应模型来检验假设。此外,还采用了两阶段最小二乘法和倾向得分匹配程序,以减少潜在的反向因果关系和样本选择偏差。研究结果本研究揭示,企业管治机制(如董事会规模和董事会独立性)与新兴市场呈负相关,而首席执行官双重性与新兴市场呈正相关。此外,本研究还表明,机构所有权和大股东并不影响新兴市场。此外,个人股东在企业管治与企业管理之间的关系中起到了调节作用。研究局限/意义由于缺乏数据,作者没有考虑董事会成员的任期、教育程度和年龄等其他公司治理属性。本研究通过提供有关 CG、PC 和 EM 之间关系的新证据,为政府官员、政策制定者、标准制定者、监管者和企业提供了有价值的见解。此外,本研究还强调,在缺乏强大的制度基础设施和投资者保护的情况下,仅仅依靠强大的企业管治、伊斯兰价值观和海湾合作委员会文化,对有效监督机会主义管理行为的影响可能有限。 原创性/价值本研究特别关注海湾合作委员会地区独特的政治、法律、制度、社会和文化环境,为现有文献做出了贡献。此外,本研究还提供了新的见解,即个人账户管理可作为一种治理机制来缓解市场动荡,因为人们对个人账户管理在改善会计结果方面的影响关注相对较少,尤其是在海湾合作委员会地区,伊斯兰道德规范往往左右着商业行为。

Managerial overconfidence, earnings management and the moderating role of business ethics: evidence from the Stoxx Europe 600 管理者过度自信、收益管理和商业道德的调节作用:来自 Stoxx Europe 600 指数的证据
IF 1.8 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2024-07-05 DOI: 10.1108/ijoes-01-2024-0009
Achref Marzouki, Anis Ben Amar

Purpose

This paper aims to explore the relationship between CEO overconfidence and earnings management examined by the discretionary accruals and if this relationship is moderated by business ethics.

Design/methodology/approach

Data from a sample of 246 European firms selected from the Stoxx Europe 600 Index between 2010 and 2022 were used to test the model using panel data and multiple regressions. This paper considered the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation for linear panel data models. A multiple regression model is used to analyze the moderating effect of business ethics on the association between CEO overconfidence and earnings management. For robustness analyses, this paper included the alternative measure of the dependent variable and independent variable.

Findings

Using discretionary accruals as a proxy for earnings management, the empirical results show a positive relationship between CEO overconfidence and earnings management. Furthermore, the results suggest that business ethics negatively moderates the relationship between CEO overconfidence and earnings management.

Practical implications

This paper makes a significant contribution to stakeholders such as investors, financial decision-makers and auditors. It underscores the importance of integrating ethical considerations into corporate governance practices for fostering accountability and transparency. In addition, it highlights the moderating role of business ethics in transforming the positive effect of CEO overconfidence on earnings management into a negative impact. This emphasizes the pivotal role of ethical norms in financial decision-making processes and extends implications to standard setters and policymakers in the regulatory domain.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to examine the moderating role of business ethics on the relationship between CEO overconfidence and earnings management in the European context. It is also the first study to document that business ethics can reduce the effect of CEOs’ biased behavior and their scope for discretion, thereby reducing the amount of earnings management. This study fills a research gap by extending the existing literature, which generally focuses on the impact of CEO overconfidence and earnings management.

本文旨在探讨首席执行官过度自信与收益管理之间的关系(通过全权应计制进行检验),以及这种关系是否会受到商业道德的调节。设计/方法/方法本文从 2010 年至 2022 年期间的 Stoxx 欧洲 600 指数中选取了 246 家欧洲公司作为样本,使用面板数据和多重回归对模型进行检验。本文考虑了线性面板数据模型的可行广义最小二乘法(FGLS)估计。多元回归模型用于分析商业道德对 CEO 过度自信与收益管理之间关联的调节作用。为了进行稳健性分析,本文纳入了因变量和自变量的替代测量方法。研究结果以全权应计制作为收益管理的替代变量,实证结果显示 CEO 过度自信与收益管理之间存在正相关关系。此外,研究结果表明,商业道德对 CEO 过度自信与收益管理之间的关系具有负向调节作用。它强调了将道德因素纳入公司治理实践以促进问责制和透明度的重要性。此外,它还强调了商业道德在将首席执行官过度自信对收益管理的积极影响转化为消极影响方面所起的调节作用。这强调了道德规范在财务决策过程中的关键作用,并对监管领域的标准制定者和政策制定者产生了深远影响。这也是第一项研究证明商业道德可以减少首席执行官的偏颇行为及其自由裁量权的影响,从而减少收益管理的数量。现有文献普遍关注首席执行官过度自信和收益管理的影响,本研究通过扩展现有文献填补了这一研究空白。

Purpose

This study aims to analyse the impact of love of money, personality traits and peer influence on the ethical behaviour of graduate accounting students at the University of Ghana Business School.

Design/methodology/approach

This study used a quantitative research approach to sample postgraduate accounting students who completed a self-administered questionnaire on the variables of interest. Using partial least square–structural equation modelling, the hypothesized relationships were examined based on 328 appropriate responses received for the questionnaire.

Findings

The empirical findings suggest that peer influence and personality trait, extraversion positively and significantly influence unethical behaviour, whereas the personality traits, agreeableness and openness to experience have a negative and significant relationship with unethical behaviour. The study, however, does not find support for the hypothesized relationships between the love of money, personality traits (conscientiousness, neuroticism) and unethical behaviour.

Originality/value

The study contributes to the literature on unethical behaviour, highlighting how decision-making factors such as love of money, peer influence and personality traits, respectively, influence unethical behaviour explained by the self-justification concept under the social cognitive and moral reasoning theory. This could aid these potential managers in seeking higher reviews on ethical dilemmas. It could also aid the professional body and academics in Ghana particularly to intensify ethical education for students of the profession.

目的本研究旨在分析加纳大学商学院会计专业研究生对金钱的热爱、人格特质和同伴影响对其道德行为的影响。实证研究结果表明,同伴影响和人格特质、外向性对不道德行为有积极而显著的影响,而人格特质、合意性和经验开放性与不道德行为有消极而显著的关系。然而,研究并未发现爱财、人格特质(自觉性、神经质)与不道德行为之间的假设关系。 原创性/价值 本研究为有关不道德行为的文献做出了贡献,强调了爱财、同伴影响和人格特质等决策因素分别是如何影响社会认知和道德推理理论下的自我辩护概念所解释的不道德行为的。这可以帮助这些潜在的管理人员寻求更高的道德困境审查。这也有助于加纳的专业机构和学术界加强对专业学生的道德教育。

Purpose

This study aims to analyse the existing literature on the utilisation of financial technology (FinTech) in the Islamic social finance (ISF) sector, focusing on tools, applications and benefits. From this study, it is to provide insights for literature or for practitioners on how FinTech can be used in ISF, such as using blockchain (tools) in waqf (application) that can help to enhance transparency and trust (benefits) with donors. It is important to explore new available tools or applications in ISF markets so that such effort can benefit the industry in promoting its growth.

Design/methodology/approach

A systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out using Reporting Standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses (ROSES) which has been based on quality evaluation criteria, beginning with 41,945 entries in Scopus, 25,386 entries in the Web of Science and 1,590 entries in the Google Scholar databases and ending with 35 articles from data abstraction and analysis, all of which focus on tools, applications and benefits of FinTech in ISF sector.

Findings

This review yielded three primary themes and eleven sub-themes addressing FinTech, namely applications (four sub-themes: crowdfunding, blockchain, banking service and peer-to-peer (P2P), tools (three sub-themes: waqf, zakat and sadaqah), as well as benefits (four sub-themes: transparency, innovation, inclusiveness and efficiency).

Research limitations/implications

This study emphasises on innovative application of FinTech used in ISF industry which focuses on applications, tools and benefits of FinTech to the industry. However, the findings indicate that there is plenty of room for future investigation. The current work outlines several methodological issues and concerns as well as provides recommendations for future research. Various challenges associated with FinTech applications include inadequate regulations, complex permit application procedures, misuse of FinTech for terrorist financing, the existence of fraudulent FinTech companies and consumer disputes in the FinTech sector concerning ISF. There are few in-depth studies on the possible use of FinTech models in ISF, compared to studies focusing on upcoming challenges. This study also highlights the methodological limitations in previous research efforts, which can be used to improve future studies in this area. To offer a more comprehensive analysis, additional search keywords and engines that have not been included in this study could be used in future investigations with different methodologies.

Practical implications

For practitioners, the paper has significant managerial consequences. The analysis provides insights into real-life opportunities, limits and solutions for improving performance management by looking at FinTech applications from

本研究旨在分析伊斯兰社会融资(ISF)领域利用金融科技(FinTech)的现有文献,重点关注工具、应用和益处。本研究旨在为文献或从业人员提供有关如何在伊斯兰社会融资领域使用金融科技的见解,例如在宗教基金(应用)中使用区块链(工具),这有助于提高透明度和增强与捐赠者之间的信任(益处)。在伊斯兰宗教基金市场中探索新的可用工具或应用非常重要,这样才能有利于促进该行业的发展。设计/方法/途径采用基于质量评估标准的《系统证据综合报告标准》(ROSES)进行了系统文献综述(SLR),从斯科普斯(Scopus)数据库中的 41,945 个条目、科学网(Web of Science)数据库中的 25,386 个条目和谷歌学术(Google Scholar)数据库中的 1,590 个条目开始,到数据摘要和分析中的 35 篇文章结束,所有文章都侧重于金融科技在基础设施服务行业的工具、应用和益处。研究结果本综述针对金融科技提出了三个主要主题和十一个次主题,即应用(四个次主题:众筹、区块链、银行服务和点对点(P2P))、工具(三个次主题:伊斯兰宗教基金、天课和萨达卡)以及益处(四个次主题:透明度、创新、包容性和效率)。研究局限性/启示 本研究强调了金融科技在基础设施服务行业的创新应用,重点关注金融科技在该行业的应用、工具和益处。然而,研究结果表明,未来还有很大的研究空间。目前的工作概述了几个方法问题和关注点,并为未来研究提供了建议。与金融科技应用相关的各种挑战包括法规不完善、许可证申请程序复杂、滥用金融科技为恐怖主义融资、存在欺诈性金融科技公司以及金融科技行业中有关 ISF 的消费者纠纷。与关注即将面临的挑战的研究相比,关于金融科技模式在基础设施服务领域的可能应用的深入研究很少。本研究还强调了以往研究工作在方法上的局限性,这些局限性可用于改进该领域的未来研究。为了提供更全面的分析,本研究中未包含的其他搜索关键词和引擎可用于未来采用不同方法的调查中。通过从更广阔、更多样的视角审视金融科技应用,分析提供了对现实生活中改善绩效管理的机会、限制和解决方案的见解。从业人员,尤其是国家伊斯兰宗教理事会,可以认识到在其管辖范围内的基础设施服务基金(waqf、zakat 和 sadaqah)中使用金融科技技术的益处。 原创性/价值 本系统性文献评估确定了必须解决的关键知识差距,例如金融科技的应用仍然模糊不清,某些应用在基础设施服务基金行业中尚未完全普及。本研究采用 SLR 技术对文献进行分类,找出当前研究中存在的差距,并针对研究问题提出建议(Paul 和 Criado,2020 年),而不是使用以往的其他方法,如内容分析或定性审查。因此,金融科技被认为是基础设施服务行业的创新或新方法。

Ethical leadership and organizational silence: a systematic review 道德领导力与组织沉默:系统审查
IF 1.8 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2024-07-01 DOI: 10.1108/ijoes-06-2023-0134

Purpose

This study aims to comprehensively analyse and synthesize existing studies that investigate the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational silence. This review also aims to provide a detailed understanding of the impact of ethical leadership on various dimensions of organizational silence.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses a systematic review methodology, adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines, to explore the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational silence. Using the SCOPUS database, the search involved Boolean operators to narrow down relevant papers published in English between 2000 and 2023. Following a meticulous screening process, 10 papers were selected for review after removing duplicates and excluding non-English or irrelevant studies. The selected papers underwent a methodological quality assessment, ensuring focused research questions, precise subject selection methods, representative samples and reliable measurement instruments.

Findings

This study has led to two crucial findings. Firstly, the review has revealed that employees feel secure and motivated to share their opinions when leaders are ethical, which is essential from the perspective of organizational performance. Secondly, in a collectivist culture, employees generally do not express their views (prosocial silence) even though the leaders are ethical. However, in an individualistic culture, employees express their views and opinions on organizational matters even though leaders are ethical.

Research limitations/implications

This research has three research implications. Firstly, the papers on the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational silence followed quantitative approach. Besides, there is a dearth of qualitative studies. Therefore, qualitative studies are urgently needed to understand the true nature of this relationship. Secondly, the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational silence in existing literature is inconsistent. Several studies have reported a non-significant relationship between these two constructs, which requires further investigation. Thirdly, most existing literature on the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational silence is concentrated in the manufacturing sector. Therefore, it is necessary to test this model, even in the services or other sectors.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to have reviewed the impact of ethical leadership on organizational silence. This review provides insights into how ethical leadership can mitigate silent behaviour. In addition, this review suggests future research directions pertaining to the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational

目的 本研究旨在全面分析和综合现有的有关道德领导力与组织沉默之间关系的研究。本研究采用系统综述方法,遵循《系统综述和元分析首选报告项目》指南,探讨道德领导力与组织沉默之间的关系。通过使用 SCOPUS 数据库,使用布尔运算符缩小 2000 年至 2023 年间发表的相关英文论文的搜索范围。经过细致的筛选过程,在去除重复、排除非英语或无关研究后,选出了 10 篇论文进行审查。对所选论文进行了方法学质量评估,确保研究问题重点突出、研究对象选择方法准确、样本具有代表性、测量工具可靠。首先,综述显示,如果领导者有道德,员工就会感到安全并有动力分享自己的观点,这对组织绩效至关重要。其次,在集体主义文化中,即使领导者有道德,员工一般也不会表达自己的观点(亲社会沉默)。然而,在个人主义文化中,即使领导者有道德,员工也会就组织事务表达自己的观点和意见。首先,有关道德领导与组织沉默之间关系的论文都采用了定量研究方法。此外,还缺乏定性研究。因此,迫切需要进行定性研究,以了解这种关系的真实性质。其次,现有文献中关于道德领导力与组织沉默之间关系的研究并不一致。一些研究报告称,这两个概念之间的关系并不显著,这需要进一步调查。第三,关于道德领导与组织沉默之间关系的现有文献大多集中在制造业。因此,有必要对这一模型进行检验,即使在服务业或其他行业也是如此。这篇综述为道德领导力如何缓解沉默行为提供了见解。此外,本综述还就道德领导与组织沉默之间的关系提出了未来的研究方向。

Neurotechnologies applied to tourism: from the epistemic contribution to the ethical risk 应用于旅游业的神经技术:从认识论的贡献到伦理风险
IF 1.8 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2024-06-25 DOI: 10.1108/ijoes-12-2023-0284

Purpose

This paper critiques the scope of neurotechnologies in significantly expanding the epistemological field of tourism and warns of their potential to undermine the cognitive capacity of tourists to act responsibly and responsively.

Design/methodology/approach

This study explores the intersections of neurotechnologies and tourism through an analysis that entails a two-step process: firstly, identifying key themes and debates within neurotourism literature; secondly, critically evaluating these discussions through the lenses of social tourism theory and neuroethics.

Findings

Firstly, the work questions the potential of neurotechnologies to significantly expand epistemological boundaries concerning a perennial question in tourism studies: namely, the goal pursued by tourists. Secondly, the paper introduces the framework of an ethics of neurotourism, which can aid in developing the ethical research agenda on neurotechnologies applied to tourism. This framework is used to argue that one of the key risks associated with the use of neurotechnologies in tourism is their capacity to encourage non-responsive and non-responsible tourist behaviour.

Originality/value

Both due to the traditional lack of interest in philosophy in tourism and the pro-business orientation of the tourism academy, critical studies on the relationship between neurotechnologies and tourism are limited. The primary contribution of this work is to underscore that the implementation of neurotechnologies in tourism not only has the potential to foster non-responsible behaviour by undermining tourists’ cognitive capacities to act responsibly, but also can diminish their responsiveness. In a neural context where tourists may already exhibit a reduced inclination towards moral engagement, this reduction in responsiveness can be particularly significant.

目的 本文对神经技术在大幅扩展旅游认识论领域方面的范围进行了批判,并警告神经技术有可能损害游客的认知能力,使其无法采取负责任的应对行动。设计/方法/途径本研究通过分析探讨神经技术与旅游业的交叉点,分析过程包括两个步骤:首先,确定神经旅游文献中的关键主题和辩论;其次,通过社会旅游理论和神经伦理学的视角对这些讨论进行批判性评估。研究结果首先,本研究质疑神经技术在大幅扩展认识论边界方面的潜力,该边界涉及旅游研究中一个长期存在的问题,即游客追求的目标。其次,论文介绍了神经旅游伦理框架,该框架有助于制定将神经技术应用于旅游业的伦理研究议程。该框架被用来论证在旅游业中使用神经技术的主要风险之一是其鼓励非反应性和非责任性游客行为的能力。原创性/价值由于传统上人们对旅游哲学缺乏兴趣,以及旅游学术界的亲商业导向,对神经技术与旅游业之间关系的批判性研究十分有限。这项工作的主要贡献在于强调神经技术在旅游业中的应用不仅有可能削弱游客负责任的认知能力,从而助长不负责任的行为,而且还可能削弱他们的反应能力。在游客可能已经表现出道德参与倾向降低的神经环境中,这种反应能力的降低可能尤为显著。

How much (more) is fair to pay? The ethics of merit in assessing poverty wages in organizations 支付多少(更多)才算公平?评估组织中贫困工资的功绩伦理
IF 1.8 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2024-06-05 DOI: 10.1108/ijoes-06-2023-0132
Javier Pinto, Germán R. Scalzo

Purpose

This study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of poverty salaries and minimum wage in light of virtue ethics and a new natural law perspective on work.

Design/methodology/approach

Existing approaches to poverty wages are critically examined, including the nonworseness claim and legal minimalism. This paper introduces a more nuanced framework, taking into account the concepts of merit and participation in light of virtue ethics.

Findings

We argue that the fairness of minimum wage policies can be assessed as a matter of contributive-distributive justice by considering individual contributions to an organization's outcomes within an approach that provides a robust foundation for reconciling the dignity of work with the operational realities of organizations.

Research limitations/implications

Empirical research is needed to validate the practical application of the proposed conceptual framework for addressing poverty wages.

Practical implications

The paper provides better decisional arguments for employers concerned with poverty salaries in their organizations considering the moral dimensions of wage policies and employee well-being, offering guidance for potential adjustments in compensation practices. It also contributes to the discourse on social and economic justice by emphasizing the moral obligations of organizations in fostering a just and dignified work environment without the employee's participation.

Originality/value

This paper presents a novel approach that blends virtue ethics and new natural law principles, emphasizing the moral responsibilities of employers and organizations in addressing the conditions of the working poor. It also highlights the potential for a “lesser evil” situation, morally acceptable when it serves as a transitional phase aimed at improving working conditions and employee well-being.

目的本研究旨在从美德伦理和新的自然法工作视角出发,对贫困工资和最低工资进行全面分析。研究结果我们认为,最低工资政策的公平性可以通过考虑个人对组织成果的贡献,作为一个贡献-分配正义的问题来评估,这种方法为协调工作尊严与组织运作现实提供了坚实的基础。研究局限性/启示需要开展实证研究,以验证所提出的解决贫困工资问题的概念框架的实际应用。本文还强调了组织在没有员工参与的情况下营造公正和有尊严的工作环境的道德义务,从而为社会和经济正义的讨论做出了贡献。 原创性/价值本文提出了一种融合美德伦理和新自然法原则的新方法,强调了雇主和组织在解决贫困劳动者状况方面的道德责任。本文还强调了 "少恶 "情况的可能性,当这种情况作为旨在改善工作条件和员工福利的过渡阶段时,在道德上是可以接受的。

An empirical investigation into how employee integrity shapes work performance in the public sector 对公共部门员工诚信如何影响工作绩效的实证调查
IF 1.8 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2024-05-06 DOI: 10.1108/ijoes-12-2023-0285

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to test the hypotheses proposed by Konadu et al. (2023) for the first time and provide empirical insight on the subject. Corruption concerns affect all economies, but those attempting to avoid foreign grants are especially vulnerable. Stakeholders in these economies have pushed for more honest public sector (PS) workers and better oversight of public funds in an effort to build a more trustworthy and efficient government to improve PS performance. Just as the mechanisms through which employee integrity (EI) influences work performance (WP) have not been proven empirically, neither has the effect of EI on WP in African economies. Also, how purposeful leadership (PL) interacts with EI to boost WP is yet to be empirically examined in the integrity literature.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper surveyed and analysed the responses of 875 workers across the three most corrupt large PS organisations in Ghana using Smart PLS 4. Perceived organisational support and contract fulfilment functioned as control factors influencing job satisfaction (JS, a mediator). Psychological need satisfaction and perceived procedural justice serve as control factors for organisational identification (OI, an additional mediator). Education, tenure, job position, sex and age were used as control variables in WP. Product indicator and variance accounted for (VAF) methods were used to estimate the impacts of moderation and mediation, respectively. A 5% level of significance was determined.

Findings

As hypothesised, this study found that EI and WP had a significantly positive connection (ß = 0.119, p = 0.026), and both JS (VAF = 25.16%) and OI (VAF = 39.59%) partially mediated this connection. Moreover, PL positively moderated the EI–JS (ß = 0.155, p = 0.000) and EI–OI (ß = 0.095, p = 0.000) connections.

Research limitations/implications

This paper affords empirical insight on the EI–WP relationship, how this relationship is mediated and how the EI–JS and EI–OI relationships are amplified. In this context, it sheds light on new ways in which EI and WP in the PS are improved. In addition, this paper provides a roadmap for forthcoming academics to test the hypotheses in diverse PS contexts globally to triangulate the results.

Practical implications

Leadership in PS organisations must maintain a “values-grounded approach” to all parts of human resource (HR) practices, including hiring, performance reviews, leadership enhancement programmes, training and promotions, if they are to attract, develop and retain employees who stand for the sector’s ethics and beliefs.

Social implications

This research gives African nations proof that enhancing EI in the PS is important,

本研究的目的是首次检验 Konadu 等人(2023 年)提出的假设,并提供有关该主题的经验见解。腐败问题影响着所有经济体,但那些试图避免外国赠款的经济体尤其容易受到影响。这些经济体的利益相关者推动公共部门(PS)工作人员更加廉洁,并加强对公共资金的监督,以建立一个更值得信赖、更高效的政府,从而提高公共部门的绩效。正如员工诚信(EI)影响工作绩效(WP)的机制尚未得到实证证明一样,EI 对非洲经济体工作绩效的影响也未得到实证证明。此外,有目的的领导(PL)如何与 EI 相互作用以提高工作绩效,也有待诚信文献的实证研究。本文使用 Smart PLS 4 调查并分析了加纳三家最腐败的大型 PS 组织中 875 名员工的反馈。心理需求满意度和感知到的程序公正是组织认同的控制因素(OI,另一个中介因素)。教育、任期、职位、性别和年龄被用作 WP 的控制变量。产品指标和方差占比(VAF)方法分别用于估计调节和调解的影响。研究结果正如假设的那样,本研究发现,EI 和 WP 显著正相关(ß = 0.119,p = 0.026),JS(VAF = 25.16%)和 OI(VAF = 39.59%)部分地调解了这种联系。此外,PL 对 EI-JS 关系(ß = 0.155,p = 0.000)和 EI-OI 关系(ß = 0.095,p = 0.000)有积极的调节作用。在此背景下,本文揭示了改进 PS 中 EI 和 WP 的新方法。此外,本文还为未来的学者提供了一个路线图,以便在全球不同的公共服务环境中检验假设,从而对结果进行三角测量。实践意义公共服务组织的领导层必须在人力资源(HR)实践的各个环节(包括招聘、绩效考核、领导力提升计划、培训和晋升)中坚持 "以价值观为基础的方法",这样才能吸引、培养和留住那些坚持本部门道德和信念的员工。社会影响这项研究为非洲国家提供了证据,证明加强私营部门的员工积极性非常重要,并阐述了员工积极性转化为可持续发展目标的多种方式。据作者所知,科纳杜等人(2023 年)在概念研究中提出的假设在本研究中首次得到了实证检验。本研究还补充了已有的关于 PS 中 EI、JS、OI、WP 和 PL 的实证文献。本研究通过加强理论框架和扩展现有知识,为廉正、绩效和领导力学科做出了贡献。

Also, how purposeful leadership (PL) interacts with EI to boost WP is yet to be empirically examined in the integrity literature.</p><!--/ Abstract__block -->\u0000<h3>Design/methodology/approach</h3>\u0000<p>This paper surveyed and analysed the responses of 875 workers across the three most corrupt large PS organisations in Ghana using Smart PLS 4. Perceived organisational support and contract fulfilment functioned as control factors influencing job satisfaction (JS, a mediator). Psychological need satisfaction and perceived procedural justice serve as control factors for organisational identification (OI, an additional mediator). Education, tenure, job position, sex and age were used as control variables in WP. Product indicator and variance accounted for (VAF) methods were used to estimate the impacts of moderation and mediation, respectively. A 5% level of significance was determined.</p><!--/ Abstract__block -->\u0000<h3>Findings</h3>\u0000<p>As hypothesised, this study found that EI and WP had a significantly positive connection (<em>ß</em> = 0.119, <em>p</em> = 0.026), and both JS (VAF = 25.16%) and OI (VAF = 39.59%) partially mediated this connection. Moreover, PL positively moderated the EI–JS (<em>ß</em> = 0.155, <em>p</em> = 0.000) and EI–OI (<em>ß</em> = 0.095, <em>p</em> = 0.000) connections.</p><!--/ Abstract__block -->\u0000<h3>Research limitations/implications</h3>\u0000<p>This paper affords empirical insight on the EI–WP relationship, how this relationship is mediated and how the EI–JS and EI–OI relationships are amplified. In this context, it sheds light on new ways in which EI and WP in the PS are improved. In addition, this paper provides a roadmap for forthcoming academics to test the hypotheses in diverse PS contexts globally to triangulate the results.</p><!--/ Abstract__block -->\u0000<h3>Practical implications</h3>\u0000<p>Leadership in PS organisations must maintain a “values-grounded approach” to all parts of human resource (HR) practices, including hiring, performance reviews, leadership enhancement programmes, training and promotions, if they are to attract, develop and retain employees who stand for the sector’s ethics and beliefs.</p><!--/ Abstract__block -->\u0000<h3>Social implications</h3>\u0000<p>This research gives African nations proof that enhancing EI in the PS is important, ","PeriodicalId":42832,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ethics and Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140925628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
