Abstract

Based on social information processing theory, this study proved that supervisor bottom-line mentality positively influenced unethical behavior through instrumentalism ethical climate. Also, the moderating role of moral identity was examined. The study selected 319 pairs of sample data. We explored the relationship between the supervisor bottom-line mentality and employees’ unethical behavior. The research results show that supervisor bottom-line mentality has a significant positive relationship with instrumentalism ethical climate (Hypothesis 1). Instrumentalism ethical climate-mediated the relationship between leadership bottom-line mentality and unethical behavior (Hypothesis 2). Moral identity moderated the relationship between instrumentalism ethical climate and unethical (Hypothesis 3).
