Article - Enhancing employees' duty orientation and moral potency: Dual mechanisms linking ethical psychological climate to ethically focused proactive behaviors Volume 44, Issue 6, Halaman 857–873
Based on social cognitive theory (SCT), we develop and test a model that links ethical
psychological climate to ethically focused proactive behavior (i.e., ethical voice and
ethical taking charge) via two distinct mechanisms (i.e., duty orientation and moral
potency). Results from multi-wave field studies conducted in the United States,
Turkey, France, Vietnam, and India demonstrate that an ethical psychological climate
indirectly influences employees' ethical voice and ethical taking charge behaviors
through the dual mechanisms of duty orientation and moral potency. Additionally,
we find that individuals' moral attentiveness strengthened these mediating processes.
Together, these findings suggest that ethical psychological climate is an important
antecedent of ethically focused proactive behavior by stimulating individuals' sense
of duty and enhancing their moral potency, particularly when employees are already
highly attuned to moral issues.
