The More You Care, the Worthier I Feel, the Better I Behave: How and When Supervisor Support Influences (Un)Ethical Employee Behavior

Sguera F., Bagozzi R. P., Huy Q., Boss W. R., Boss D. S. (2018). The More You Care, the Worthier I Feel, the Better I Behave: How and When Supervisor Support Influences (Un)Ethical Employee Behavior Journal of Business Ethics, 153(3), pp. 615-628.

The More You Care, the Worthier I Feel, the Better I Behave: How and When Supervisor Support Influences (Un)Ethical Employee Behavior This article investigates the effects of perceived supervisor support on ethical (organizational citizenship behaviors) and unethical employee behavior (counterproductive workplace behavior) using a multi-method approach (one experiment and one field survey with multiple waves and supervisor ratings of employees).

Specifically, the authors test the mediating mechanism (i.e., supervisorbased self-esteem) and a boundary condition (i.e., employee task satisfaction) that moderates the relationship between support and (un)ethical employee behaviors.

The authors find that supervisor-based self-esteem fully mediates the relationship between supervisor support and (un)ethical employee behavior and that employee task satisfaction intensifies the relationship between supervisor support and supervisor-based self-esteem.
