摘要
本研究认为,在当前竞争激烈的商业时代,许多知名组织依靠员工的创造力来获得顶级行业绩效和满足客户期望。本研究旨在通过道德脱离理论(MDT)的视角来理解工作场所创造性表现压力(CPP)的阴暗面。我们特别指出,CPP会导致组织越轨(违反组织规范的自由裁量行为,威胁到组织及其成员的福祉,或两者兼而有之)。此外,我们已经确定员工道德脱离(通过认知上改变对情境的感知,从而不产生负面情绪,从而在道德上将自己从错误行为中分离出来的能力)是cpp -组织偏差关系的潜在机制,而主管底线心态是这种中介关系的边界条件。该研究的数据是通过一份自我管理的问卷,通过一个时间滞后的设计,从巴基斯坦IT行业的全职员工中收集的。通过验证性因子分析(在AMOS 23中)和SPSS Process Macro,共使用254份已完成的问卷对模型进行检验。分析结果支持了MDT的理论观点和现有证据。研究结果表明,CPP通过道德脱离这一潜在的心理机制引导员工产生组织越轨行为,而当具有高底线心理的管理者在场时,这种影响会进一步增强。本研究对组织的道德规范、激励道德行为和开放沟通等方面具有重要的理论贡献和政策启示。
From Creative Performance Pressure to Deviance: Understanding the Role of Moral Disengagement and Supervisor Bottom Line Mentality
This study argues that many renowned organizations depend on their employees' creativity for top industry performance and meeting customer expectations in the current business era of hyper-competition. This study aims to understand the dark side of creative performance pressure (CPP) in the workplace through the lens of moral disengagement theory (MDT). We specifically argue that CPP results in organizational deviance (discretionary behavior that violates organizational norms and threatens the well-being of an organization, its members, or both). Further, we have identified employee moral disengagement (the ability to separate oneself morally from a wrong behavior by cognitively altering the perception of the situation and, therefore, not feeling negative about it) as an underlying mechanism of CPP—organizational deviance relationship and supervisor bottom-line mentality as the boundary condition of this mediated relationship. The data for the study were collected using a self-administered questionnaire through a time-lagged design from full-time employees working in the IT industry in Pakistan. A total of 254 completed responses were used to test the model through confirmatory factor analysis (in AMOS 23) and SPSS Process Macro. The results of the analysis supported the theoretical arguments of MDT and the existing evidence. The results highlighted that CPP leads employees toward organizational deviance through the underlying psychological mechanism of moral disengagement, and this impact is further enhanced in the presence of supervisors who are high in bottom-line mentality. The study makes significant theoretical contributions and suggests policy implications for organizations related to the code of ethics, incentivizing ethical behavior, and open communication.
