We examine the influence of individuals’ propensity to morally disengage on a broad range unethical organizational behaviors. First, we develop parsimonious, adult‐oriented, valid, and reliable measure an individual's disengage, demonstrate relationship between it number theoretically relevant constructs in its nomological network. Then, 4 additional studies spanning laboratory field settings, power moral predict multiple types behavior. In these that predicts several outcomes (self‐reported...

To date there have been no studies of how both sex and ethnicity might affect the incidence sexual ethnic harassment at work. This article represents an effort to fill this gap. Data from employees 5 organizations were used test whether minority women are subject double jeopardy work, experiencing most because they members a group. The results supported prediction. Women experienced more than men, minorities Whites, overall majority women.

Lactating Long-Evans rats were observed to interact differently with male and female pups during the first 18 days postpartum. Differences in mother's behavior related gender composition of her litter (GHL), sex a single introduced pup, individual within litter. Major differences greater time spent licking anogenital region own stimulation by foster pups, an effect that did not GHL or age pup. The interacted day testing affect nest building near pups.

There has long been interest in how leaders influence the unethical behavior of those who they lead. However, research this area tended to focus on leaders' direct over subordinate behavior, such as through role modeling or eliciting positive social exchange. We extend by examining ethical affect employees construe morally problematic decisions, ultimately influencing their behavior. Across four studies, diverse methods (lab and field) national context (the United States China), we find that...

Abstract Maternal licking was manipulated by lining the nasal passages of rat dams with polyethylene tubing to interfere their olfactory competence. Olfactory cues from pups elicit maternal and handling, particularly anogenital regions, dificits were observed lick less. Mature male female offspring these controls gonadectomized, treated testosterone propionate, tested for masculine sexual behavior. The that provided less had longer ejaculatory latencies, post‐ejaculatory intromission...

Many theories of moral behavior assume that unethical triggers negative affect. In this article, we challenge assumption and demonstrate can trigger positive affect, which term a "cheater's high." Across 6 studies, find even though individuals predict they will feel guilty have increased levels affect after engaging in (Studies 1a 1b), who cheat on different problem-solving tasks consistently experience more than those do not 2-5). We heightened does depend self-selection 3 4), it is due to...

In this paper, we explore whether individuals who strive to self-verify flourish or flounder on the job market. Using placement data from 2 very different field samples, found that rated by organization as being in top 10% of candidates were significantly more likely receive a offer if they have stronger drive self-verify. A third study, using quasi-experimental design, explored mechanism behind effect and tested are high low disposition communicate differently structured mock interview....

Many of the scandalous organizational practices to have come light in last decade—rigging LIBOR, misselling payment protection insurance, rampant Wall Street insider trading, large-scale bribery foreign officials, and packaging sale toxic securities naïve investors—require ethically problematic judgments behaviors. However, dominant models workplace unethical behavior fail account for what we learned from moral psychology cognitive neuroscience past two decades about how why people make...

Abstract Pregnant Long‐Evans rats were stressed by crowding, and subsequent mother–infant interactions described after cross‐fostering. Prenatally pups elicited less maternal licking from unstressed forster dams than controls, previously licked controls. No other differences in detected. Adult offspring reared foster that during pregnancy more active an open field but prenatally animals control did not differ. Thus, stress can alter the behavior of dams, differential stimulation affect adult...

The emerging field of behavioral ethics has attracted much attention from scholars across a range different disciplines, including social psychology, management, economics, and law. However, how is situated in relation to more traditional work on business within organizational behavior (OB) not really been discussed yet. Our primary objective bridge the literatures broad OB, we suggest full-fledged approach that refer as ethics. To do so, review foundations research foci We structure our...

Abstract Individual differences in two different forms of maternal licking, time nest and nursing, were measured during the first 2 weeks after birth. Two treatments imposed to reduce anogenital licking (AGL): peripheral zinc sulfate interfere with reception pup chemosignals, dietary saline appetite for urine. Both reduced AGL but did not affect other licking. Zinc was more effective than week, somewhat less selective as it also increased nest. Selected behavioral patterns male female...

Previous research has found that maternal rats discriminate male from female offspring and provide more anogenital licking to males. Two experiments were performed determine whether this discrimination is based on hormonal condition of young. It was 500 micrograms testosterone, estradiol, or dihydrotestosterone injected the day birth into pups led their receiving an equivalent amount as males significantly than either oil untreated females. The different steroids had similar effects....

Subordinates are often seen as impotent, able to react but not affect how powerholders treat them. Instead, we conceptualize subordinate feedback an important trigger of powerholders' behavioral self-regulation and explore subordinates' reciprocal influence on allocate resources them over time. In 2 experiments using a multiparty, multiround dictator game paradigm, found that when subordinates provided candid about whether they prior allocations be fair or unfair, regulated self-interested...
