We proposed that Ethical leadership affects OCB by promoting an ethical climate and Trust in organizations. Then these factors give rise to Procedural Justice Climate and Distributive Justice, which then results in OCB. This theoretical framework was empirically tested by gathering data of 210 employees working in various sectors operative in Pakistan by means of closed-ended Likert scale type questionnaires. Numerous statistical techniques, for instance, descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were utilized for analysis of the results. As proposed in our theory, the results indicated a positive impact of Top Management Ethical Leadership on Ethical Climate & Trust in Organization. Moreover, a significant positive impact of trust on both Procedural Justice Climate & Distributive Justice. Furthermore, both of these fully mediates the effects of top management ethical leadership on organizational citizenship behavior. From a different angle, the impact of the ethical climate on the Procedural Justice Climate is significantly positive. However, the relationship between ethical climate and Distributive Justice was found to be insignificant. Hence, this study provides a plausible theoretical account as well as empirical validation of a mechanism through which top management ethical leadership enhances OCB. Therefore, managers in an organization can rise Firm-level OCB by enhancing the overall environment of the corporation and participatory factors in an ethical manner.","PeriodicalId":267169,"journal":{"name":"Industrial & Organizational Psychology eJournal","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123480081","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}

However, less has been investigated on between-CEOs differences in building connections. This paper is a step towards filling this gap by investigating whether CEOs social connections are influenced by China’s local alcohol drinking culture. We use the sample of Chinese listed companies to test our hypotheses. We find that CEOs whose firms are located in regions with strong alcohol drinking culture have more social connections, both inside and outside the firms. We further find that the drinking culture only significantly affects the social connections of male CEOs, but not female CEOs. These findings remain robust after accounting for endogeneity by instrumental variable approach. This paper introduces the role of local alcohol drinking culture in CEOs social capital accumulating and sheds new lights on the impact of local culture on CEOs behaviors.","PeriodicalId":267169,"journal":{"name":"Industrial & Organizational Psychology eJournal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132743563","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}

In a world, where there is a currently ongoing entrance of AI and algorithms into the workforce, the emerging autonomy and superiority of AI holds unique potentials but also economic and ethical challenges in the organizational context. With AI being endowed with quasi-human rights and citizenship in the Western and Arabic worlds, the question arises how to handle overpopulation but also misbehavior of AI? Should AI become eternal or is there a virtue in switching off AI at a certain point? If so, we may have to redefine laws around killing, define a virtue of killing and draw on philosophy to answer the question how to handle the abyss of killing AI with ethical grace, rational efficiency and fair style. Further, market distruptions in the wake of AI may already have begun, pressing for a demand to monitor and alleviate potential downfalls of AI. Lastly, with eternal AI overpopulation problems and resource consumption demand for attention of the impact of AI on sustainable development.

Recent work on the framework of resource management—a firm’s ability to structure, bundle, and leverage resources—has enhanced the resource-based theory (RBT) of the firm by incorporating testability and measurability and stressing the importance of properly mobilizing the available resources for success—as opposed to simply possessing them. This paper advances our understanding of RBT by investigating the underlying mechanisms through which owner-managers are able to acquire and utilize resources. To do so, it uses the period following a successful event in the context of creative industries. I employ novel measurements and causal empirical identification through difference-in-differences estimations to show that there are systematic differences in resource management abilities of owner-managers with and without connections to established families in creative industries. In particular, following a successful project, owner-managers with family relations have much better access to creative human capital and also exhibit resource divestiture with respect to team size. Also, while family related owners leverage the available resources, to focus more on quality, high performing owner-managers are focused on the mass appeal of the product. Implications and future directions for RBT are discussed.","PeriodicalId":267169,"journal":{"name":"Industrial & Organizational Psychology eJournal","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126751379","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}
