Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the effects of both internal and external corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) on organizational workplace deviant behaviours (OWDB) by using social cognitive theory. The study also explores the role of moral disengagement as a mediator in this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

Data was collected from a sample of 321 individuals employed in the textile industry of Pakistan. The study used partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to estimate the relationships within the model.

Findings

The findings indicate that both internal and external CSI have a positive impact on moral disengagement. Secondly, moral disengagement drives OWDB positively. Thirdly, moral disengagement is a significant mediator that mediates between both internal and external CSI and OWDB positively.

Practical implications

This research offers novel perspectives to organizational leaders, highlighting the significance of addressing CSI in conjunction with sustainability endeavours. It is imperative for business managers to prioritize the morality of their employees.

Originality/value

This study’s novelty lies in its confirmation of the mediating role of moral disengagement in the relationship between internal and external CSI and OWDB.

企业不负社会责任对组织工作场所偏差行为的影响：道德脱离的中介作用

目的本研究旨在利用社会认知理论，探讨内部和外部企业社会不负责任（CSI）对组织工作场所偏差行为（OWDB）的影响。本研究还探讨了道德脱离在这一关系中的中介作用。数据收集自巴基斯坦纺织业的 321 名雇员样本。研究采用偏最小二乘法-结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对模型中的关系进行估算。其次，道德脱离对 OWDB 有正向推动作用。第三，道德脱离是一个重要的中介因素，在内部和外部 CSI 与 OWDB 之间起着积极的中介作用。本研究的新颖之处在于它证实了道德脱离在内部和外部 CSI 与 OWDB 之间关系中的中介作用。
