Abstract

When a firm actively engages in CSR practices, does the leader always make ethical decisions? Drawing on social cognitive theory and the ethical decision-making literature, we develop a model to explain how a leader makes unethical decisions in an active CSR-practicing environment. Specifically, we argue that a firm's CSR practices do not necessarily translate into the leader's ethical decisions, and on the contrary, it may lead to the opposite. The relationship between a firm's CSR practices and its leader's unethical decisions is mediated by the leader's moral cognitive process (moral licensing and moral imagination) toward the firm's CSR practices, and this relationship is further moderated by the leader's altruistic values. Results from multi-method studies largely support our predictions.

祝福还是诅咒？企业社会责任实践与领导者不道德决策的关系：道德认知的中介作用

当企业积极参与企业社会责任实践时，领导者是否总是做出道德决策？利用社会认知理论和伦理决策文献，我们开发了一个模型来解释领导者如何在积极的企业社会责任实践环境中做出不道德的决策。具体而言，我们认为企业的企业社会责任实践并不一定转化为领导者的道德决策，相反，它可能导致相反的结果。企业社会责任实践与领导者不道德决策之间的关系受领导者对企业社会责任实践的道德认知过程（道德许可和道德想象）的中介作用，并进一步受到领导者利他价值观的调节作用。多方法研究的结果在很大程度上支持了我们的预测。

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.
