A growing literature explores the notion of constructive deviance conceptualized as behaviors that depart from norms reference group such they benefit and conform to hypernorms. We argue is an umbrella term encompasses several different behaviors, including taking charge, creative performance, expressing voice, whistle-blowing, extra-role prosocial rule breaking, counter-role issue selling. Using three common mechanisms underlying organize our review (intrinsic motivation, felt obligation,...
Integrating and refining social interdependence theory structural adaptation theory, we examined the effects of intergroup competition on creativity 70 four-person groups engaged in two idea generation tasks. We manipulated both group membership change (change, no change) level (low, intermediate, high). Competition had expected U-shaped relation with open (membership but failed to produce hypothesized inverted pattern closed (no groups. In latter, were positive for low intermediate flat...
ABSTRACT: Despite a significant increase in whistle-blowing practices work organizations, we know little about what differentiates whistle-blowers from those who observe wrongdoing but chose not to report it. In this review article, first highlight the arenas which research on has produced inconsistent results and findings have been consistent. Second, propose that adoption of an identity approach will help clarify extend prior individual-level motives behind whistle-blowing. Third, argue...
Although research has shown that there may be very different types of workplace crimes, scholarly work in this area (a) is currently fragmented with little communication between similar streams and (b) tends to incomplete can lead conflicting findings. We address both these shortcomings. First, we propose a typology crimes (consisting pro-organizational, nonaligned-organizational, anti-organizational crimes) based on the intentions perpetrators. Second, link various identification...
Building on social role theory, we extend a contingency perspective intergroup competition proposing that having groups compete against one another is stimulating to the creativity of composed largely or exclusively men but detrimental women. We tested this idea in two separate studies: laboratory experiment (Study 1) and field study 2). Study 1 showed had expected positive effects mostly produced predicted negative women, even though latter emerged at high end spectrum for sex-homogeneous...
Studies show that abusive leader behaviors "trickle down" to lower organizational levels, but this research ignores many abused supervisors do not perpetuate abuse by harming their own subordinates. Drawing on social-cognitive theory and related research, we suggest might defy rather than emulate managers' behavior. Specifically, predicted some supervisors-namely, those with strong moral identities-might in effect "change course" engaging less or demonstrating ethical leadership subordinates...
Voice-or the expression of ideas, concerns, or opinions on work issues by employees-can help organizations thrive. However, we highlight that men and women differ in their voice self-efficacy, personal confidence formulating articulating work-related viewpoints. Such differences, argue, can impede women's from emerging at work. Drawing social cognitive theory (SCT), propose tend to develop greater self-efficacy thereby speak up more when they have opportunity observe female rather than male...
Summary Competition can lead individuals to cheat; yet our knowledge of why competition affects cheating and how mitigate these effects is limited. To address this limitation, we first contrast two theories: arousal theories (via desire win) social cognitive theory impaired moral awareness). Our results were consistent with in that impairs awareness impairment explains people cheat. We therefore build on show factors, identity elevation, which are likely make morality salient, moderated the...
Five studies are conducted to examine how ideology and perceptions regarding gender, race, caste, affiliation status affect individuals judge researchers' credibility. Support is found for predictions that researcher credibility according their egalitarian or elitist ideologies cues including university affiliation. Egalitarians evaluate low-status researchers as more credible than high-status researchers. Elitists show the opposite pattern. Credibility judgments whether will interpret...
The recent wave of corporate scandals has necessitated a more systematic investigation internal whistle-blowing as potential way to prevent wrongdoing. Our understanding whistle-blowing, however, been hampered by deep chasm that exists between employees’ intent blow the whistle and their behaviors. We argue fully bridge this gap, we need consider cognitive states at time intentions versus behaviors link these ethical systems within organization’s infrastructure understand which are effective...
Competition can lead individuals to cheat; yet our knowledge of why competition affects unethical behaviors and how mitigate these effects is still limited. Results Study 1 show that facilitates impaired moral awareness mediates effects. 2 illustrates elevation mitigates the on cheating. Finally, 3 shows identity moderates curvilinear such only when fierce, those with more salient are less likely be dishonest than identity.
