Ethical leadership and subordinate organizational citizenship behavior: The mediating role of autonomy and the moderating role of Machiavellianism
Meeting of the Southern Management Association (Little Rock, AR, 10/18/2022–10/22/2022)
Abstract
Using social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986; 2001), this study examines the impact of autonomy as a mediator of the relationship between ethical leadership and subordinate organizational citizenship. Partial least squares structural equation modeling results indicate that subordinate perceptions of autonomy fully mediate the relationship between ethical leadership and supervisor-rated organizational leadership behavior. Additionally, results showed that high subordinate Machiavellianism strengthens the positive relationship between autonomy and organizational citizenship behavior. This study extends the application of social cognitive theory by examining 1) the motivating mechanisms through which subordinates engage in prosocial behavior in response to perceptions of ethical leadership and 2) conditions under which subordinate organizational citizenship behavior is enhanced.
