摘要

关于集体主义价值取向是否与道德或不道德行为有关,现有文献提供了相互矛盾的证据。为了解决这一困惑,我们将集体主义理论和研究与先前关于社会认同、道德界限、群体道德和道德认同的研究结合起来,建立了一个集体主义对员工行为的双刃剑效应模型。我们认为,集体主义在道德上是有限的,这取决于他人是谁,因此它抑制了员工从事不道德的亲自我行为的动机,但却增强了他们从事不道德的亲组织行为的动机。我们进一步预测,这些效应受组织目标承诺心理机制的调节,并受个体道德认同强度的调节。在中国和美国进行的三项研究的结果,包括现场和实验数据,都有力地支持了我们的假设。讨论了本研究的理论意义和实践意义。

For the Sake of the Ingroup: The Double-Edged Effects of Collectivism on Workplace Unethical Behavior
The existing literature provides conflicting evidence of whether a collectivistic value orientation is associated with ethical or unethical behavior. To address this confusion, we integrate collectivism theory and research with prior work on social identity, moral boundedness, group morality, and moral identity to develop a model of the double-edged effects of collectivism on employee conduct. We argue that collectivism is morally bounded depending on who the other is, and thus it inhibits employees’ motivation to engage in unethical pro-self behavior, yet strengthens their motivation to engage in unethical pro-organization behavior. We further predict that these effects are mediated by the psychological mechanism of organizational goal commitment and moderated by a person’s strength of moral identity. Results of three studies conducted in China and the United States and involving both field and experimental data offer strong support for our hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications of the research are discussed.

期刊介绍: Business Ethics Quarterly (BEQ) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes theoretical and empirical research relevant to the ethics of business. Since 1991 this multidisciplinary journal has published articles and reviews on a broad range of topics, including the internal ethics of business organizations, the role of business organizations in larger social, political and cultural frameworks, and the ethical quality of market-based societies and market-based relationships. It recognizes that contributions to the better understanding of business ethics can come from any quarter and therefore publishes scholarship rooted in the humanities, social sciences, and professional fields.
