情感為預測某些工作行為的重要因子之ㄧ,且發現員工的負向情感特質會影響員工所表現之偏差行為。本研究延伸過去的研究,探討員工負向情感與偏差行為間的關係,並以跨層次線性模式法(hierarchical linear modeling, HLM)來檢視不同倫理氣候類型的調節效果。本研究以40家不同公司的310位員工為樣本,研究結果發現,負向情感特質與偏差行為間有顯著的正向關係,且當規則導向的倫理氣候愈高時,負向情感特質與偏差行為間的負向關係會愈強;而當關懷導向或工具導向的倫理氣候愈高時,負向情感特質與偏差行為間的正向關係會愈強。
Past research suggest that affect is an important antecedent of some job behaviors. This study extends previous research by investigating the relationships between negative affectivity and employee deviant behavior, and using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) to examine the moderating roles of organizational ethical climate. Result from 310 employees of 40 films partially supported our hypotheses and showed that negative affectivity was significantly positive related to employee deviant behavior. In addition, when the rules and instrumental ethical climate of job was high, the positive relationship between negative affectivity and employee deviant behaviors became stronger; when the caring ethical climate of job was high, the negative relationship between negative affectivity and employee deviant behavior became stronger.
