Discussion on the Mechanism of Employees'Pro-organizational Unethical Behaviors on Total Compensation:An Empirical Test Based on the Questionnaire Data of Grassroots Employees of Commercial Enterprises and Non-profit Organizations
Based on the social exchange theory,the authors employee the questionnaires from commercial enterprises and non-profit organizations respectively to test the influence of employees'unethical pro-organizational behaviors on their total compensation and the moderating effect of superior-subordinate Guanxi in this process by using hierarchical regression and structural equation model.The results show that:therelated effect of employee unethical pro-organizational behavior on their total compensations is significantly positive;Unethical pro-organizational behavior is positively related withtheir total compensation,positively mediated by their job performance while negatively mediated by organizational punishment;Supervisor-subordinate Guanxi negatively moderates on the mediating effect of organizational punishment or job performance between unethical pro-organizational behavior and total compensation.By testing the influence of employees'unethical pro-organizational behavior on total compensation,this study expands the ethical scope of social exchange theory,enriches the relevant literature oncorporate governance.The conclusion gives the evidence for this relationship between unethical pro-organizational behavior and total compensation,and provides a theoretical ground for the means of governance such as supervisor-subordinate Guanxi,job performance and organizational punishment.
