| Sumari: | This empirical study explores the effects of supervisor’s altruism, ethical preferences, and transformational leadership on
subordinate’s ethical preferences. Data were collected from 70
pairs of supervisors and subordinates working in several
organizations in India. Preference for unethical behavior was
captured from both supervisors and subordinates by asking them
to respond to five scenarios -- bribery; endangering the physical
environment; lying; personal gain; and favoritism. Results show
that supervisor’s ethical preference is the strongest predictor of
subordinate’s ethical preference in the case of bribery, lying,
personal gain, and favoritism. Supervisor’s altruism is the
strongest predictor of subordinate’s ethical preference in the case of endangering the physical environment. Supervisor’s preference for bribery and subordinate’s preference for bribery are significantly positively correlated to each other when
transformational leadership is high but not when it is low. In
addition, supervisor’s preference for bribery fully mediates the
relationship between supervisor’s altruism and subordinate’s
preference for bribery. |
