Corruption in international business

Examining the relationship between corporate social responsibility, performance, employees’ pro-environmental behavior at work with green practices as mediator

Relationship between corporate social responsibility at the micro-level and environmental performance: The mediating role of employee pro-environmental behavior and the moderating role of gender

The importance of organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment (OCBEs) has been clearly established in the environmental literature. The purpose of this study is to examine the mediation of organizational identification and environmental orientation fit on the relationship between employees' corporate social responsibility (CSR) perceptions and their engagement in organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment. On the basis of 374 survey responses from employees, our structural equation modeling results indicated that CSR perceptions had a positive effect on employees' OCBEs. Moreover, both organizational identification and environmental orientation fit mediated the effect of CSR perceptions on employees' OCBEs. This study contributed to three literature streams (i.e., CSR, pro-environmental behaviors and environmental management, and person–environment fit). Managerial implications and recommendations for future research are given at the end.

Pro-environmental behavior of university students: Application of protection motivation theory

Scholarly interest in employees’ voluntary pro-environmental behavior has begun to emerge. While this research is beginning to shed light on the predictors of workplace pro-environmental behavior, our understanding of the psychological mechanisms linking the various antecedents to employees’ environmentally responsible behavior and the circumstances under which any such effects are enhanced and/or attenuated is incomplete. The current study seeks to fill this gap by examining: (a) the effects of perceived corporate social responsibility on employees’ voluntary pro-environment behavior; (b) an underlying mechanism that links CSR perceptions to these behaviors; and (c) a boundary condition to these relationships. Data from 183 supervisor-subordinate dyads employed in large- and medium-sized casinos and hotels in Guangdong China and Macau revealed that employees’ corporate social responsibility perceptions indirectly affect their engagement in voluntary pro-environmental behavior through organizational identification, and these effects are stronger for employees high in empathy.

How and When Does Perceived CSR Affect Employees’ Engagement in Voluntary Pro-environmental Behavior?

This paper examines the impact of Chinese business managers’ moral philosophies on the perception of corrupt payments such as bribery, kickbacks and gift giving. Business managers from Mainland China were selected as target respondents. As hypothesized the survey results generally indicate that moral relativism is a significant predictor of Chinese business managers’ favorable perception of bribery and kickbacks. In examining the attitude toward gift giving, the survey showed that an individual’s attitude toward gift giving was neither affected by their moral relativism nor by their moral idealism, which implies that gift giving is widely accepted as legal practice in business in Chinese cultural society.

Should we be "challenging" employees? A study of job complexity and job crafting

The craftsmanship literature lacks a multi-faceted construct and measure applicable in the work context. We address this gap by providing multidimensional employee craftsmanship and developing its measure. Data from four studies provided support for (a) a 4-factor construct of employee craftsmanship representing the sub-facets of ethical pursuit, striving to excel, love for work and work as a calling across samples; (b) an employee craftsmanship scale with good internal consistency and reliability; (c) positive relationship between employee craftsmanship and grit, incremental innovation and negative correlation between employee craftsmanship and unethical behavior. Overall, findings suggest that the Employee Craftsmanship Scale has good psychometric properties. It provides novel insights into the role of employee craftsmanship for work outcomes, like innovative and ethical behavior.
