Autori: Li, Quan, She, Zhuolin, Guo, Mengzhen

Predmety: LABOR turnover, MORAL disengagement, EMPLOYEE time theft, EMPLOYEE attitudes, SOFTWARE engineers, WORK environment, BUSINESS ethics
Abstrakt: Research on turnover intention has primarily focused on its antecedents and how it translates into actual turnover behavior. We shift the focus away from these antecedents and instead examine the unethical consequences that turnover intention generates for organizations. Drawing on social cognitive theory, we propose that turnover intentions lead to employees' moral disengagement, which in turn influences their time theft behaviors. Furthermore, we argue that trait gratitude and a caring ethical climate moderate the relationship between turnover intentions and moral disengagement, such that this relationship weakens when either trait gratitude or a caring ethical climate is high. A three-wave survey of 304 employee-coworker dyads from a state-owned communication technology company provided empirical support for our theoretical model. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
