{"title":"Antecedents of Employees' Ethical Behavior in Pakistan: The Role of Personality Traits, Morality, and Organizational Support.","authors":"Hareem Hanif, D. Siddiqui","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3757845","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3757845","url":null,"abstract":"Firms in a highly competitive environment, to improve productivity, put pressure on employees making them feel insecure about their job, prompting them to behave unethically to protect their jobs. Here employees’ ethicality crucially depends upon their personality traits, moral values, and well as organizational support. However, the bigger challenge is to know how these factors affect ethical behavior. For this, we propose a theoretical framework, thereby modifying Jino & Dyaram (2019) to include the big five personality traits. We hypothesize that Perceived organizational Support, internalized moral identity, as well as Personality traits (Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Openness to Experience), affect ownership of moral actions, and that sense of ownership, in turn, make employees behave ethically. Empirical validity was established by conducting a survey using a close-ended questionnaire. Data was collected from 360 employees working in the different organization of Karachi and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation modeling. The results showed that perceived organization support and Conscientiousness, and Internalized Moral Identity have a positive and significant impact on both ethical behavior and moral ownership. Whereas Neuroticism negatively affected both. Moral Ownership also seems to have a positive effect on ethical behavior. Hence Moral Ownership positively mediates the impact of Conscientiousness, Internalized Moral Identity, and Perceived Organizational Support, on Ethical behavior, whereas negatively mediate Neuroticism and Ethical behavior relationship. Thus, this research will add to the literature on ethical conduct, worker development, and psychology.","PeriodicalId":387810,"journal":{"name":"Internal Communications & Organizational Behavior eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116929375","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}

Data collected via a quasi‐experiment showed that organizational identity affects publics’ reactions, such that internal publics perceive the organization more positively and have less negative word‐of‐mouth intention. Internal publics feel guilty even if they are not personally responsible for the crisis. Publics do not react more negatively when their ethnic ingroup members are accidentally victimized. Organizations should mitigate the internal publics’ anger and guilt and also clarify that the crisis is nonethnicity‐related when the victims happen to be ethnic minorities to avoid any misunderstanding of victims’ ethnic ingroup members.","PeriodicalId":387810,"journal":{"name":"Internal Communications & Organizational Behavior eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126878923","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}

Wildman","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2647377","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2647377","url":null,"abstract":"This introduction to a special issue of \"Telecommunications Policy\" entitled \"The Governance of Social Media\" begins with a definition of social media that informs all contributions in the special issue. A section describing the challenges associated with the governance of social media is presented next, followed by an overview of the various articles included in the special issue.While the Internet and the World Wide Web have always been used to facilitate social interaction, the emergence and rapid diffusion of Web 2.0 functionalities during the first decade of the new millennium enabled an evolutionary leap forward in the social component of web use. This and falling costs for online data storage made it feasible for the first time to offer masses of Internet users access to an array of user-centric spaces they could populate with user-generated content, along with a correspondingly diverse set of opportunities for linking these spaces together to form virtual social networks.To define “social media” for our current purposes, we synthesize definitions presented in the literature and identify the following commonalities among current social media services:1) Social media services are (currently) Web 2.0 Internet-based applications,2) User-generated content is the lifeblood of social media,3) Individuals and groups create user-specific profiles for a site or app designed and maintained by a social media service,4) Social media services facilitate the development of social networks online by connecting a profile with those of other individuals and/or groups.Transformative communication technologies have always called for regulatory innovation. Theodor Vail’s vision of “one policy, one system, universal service” preceded more than one-hundred years of innovative regulations aimed at connecting all Americans to a single telephone network. The sinking of the Titanic, caused in part by “chaos in the spectrum” led to the Radio Act of 1912 and the creation of a command and control model designed to regulate broadcast radio. Safe-harbor hours were put in place after a father and son heard George Carlin’s “seven dirty words” routine over the radio in their car. The fairness doctrine and the minority tax certificate program were designed to address inequalities in the broadcast television industry. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act responded to intellectual property concerns raised by a global Internet and the FCC’s 700mhz auction was the result of demand for smarter mobile phones. Now we must consider the role of regulatory innovation in response to the emergence of social media.","PeriodicalId":387810,"journal":{"name":"Internal Communications & Organizational Behavior eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126878803","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}

{"title":"Advancing Knowledge Creation Modelling Through Improved Organizational Communications","authors":"Jeffrey S. Ray","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2632603","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2632603","url":null,"abstract":"The basis of competition in today’s marketplace is changing from one based on human labor, to one where the principle source of value creation is an organization’s knowledge, and the organization’s ability to rapidly acquire new knowledge through learning. The rise of the knowledge economy in today’s marketplace is an indicator these changes are occurring. Businesses, for example, collected more customer information in 2010, than in all prior years combined. The amount of corporate data being collected is said to be doubling every six months. Researchers are reporting that the huge increase in the amount and availability of information is causing an information overload condition. Organizations have to counter information overload by improving how they use information to learn, and also improving how they translate and manage the knowledge obtained from learning. A large part of organizational learning involves knowledge conversion modes or processes that transform knowledge states between an individual and group focus, and between tacit and explicit forms, as the organization’s core knowledge levels evolve iteratively to increasingly refined levels of accumulated base knowledge. Such knowledge conversion, and the organizational learning that accompanies it, rely on effective communications within the organization. Based on research data collected through personal interviews of industry representatives, this dissertation recommends steps that businesses can take to make their organizational learning more efficient through improved communication practices, and thereby achieve better firm performance. The recommendations are identified by comparing how a firm should communicate to learn (as guided by the elements proffered in Ikujiro Nonaka’s organizational learning model), and then assessing whether the firm has the communications and messaging capabilities in place to implement the model. Any gaps in capabilities required to implement the organizational learning model were made the basis of recommendations to fill the gaps by constructing a new enhanced learning model.","PeriodicalId":387810,"journal":{"name":"Internal Communications & Organizational Behavior eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130333346","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}
