The Inhibitory Mechanism of Ego Depletion on the Impact of Ethical Leadership on Employees'Moral Voice
Grounded in social learning theory,this study develops a theoretical model incorpora-ting moderated mediation effects to explore the resource-dependent dynamics of ethical leadership's influence on employees'moral voice.The aim is to identify the mechanisms that constrain the impact of ethical leadership on employees'moral voice.Drawing on two-wave paired data from 583 leader-employee dyads,the findings reveal that this influence is neither direct nor automatic but is instead in-hibited by ego depletion and employee-leader moral foundation differences.Specifically,both ego de-pletion and employee-leader moral foundation differences hinder the effect of ethical leadership on em-ployees'moral model identification,thereby suppressing their moral voice.Additionally,employee-leader moral foundation differences mediate the inhibitory effect of ego depletion on the relationship between ethical leadership and employees'moral voice.
