PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the effect of stretch goals on unethical behavior and explore the mediating role of ambivalent identification and moderating role of competitive psychological climate.Design/methodology/approachA total of 350 MBA students from Northwestern China completed the two-phase survey. The bootstrapping analysis outlined by Hayes was used to assess a moderated mediation model.FindingsThis study found that stretch goals could trigger employees' unethical behavior via ambivalent identification. Competitive psychological climate intensified the relationship between stretch goals and ambivalent identification. Moreover, such a climate aggravated the indirect effect of stretch goals on unethical behavior via ambivalent identification.Practical implicationsOrganizations and managers should use stretch goals prudently and implement measures to reduce the ethical cost.Originality/valueThis study provides unique contributions by identifying ambivalent identification as an important mediator and competitive psychological climate as a boundary condition of stretch goals' disruptive effect on unethical behavior.

Practical Implications

PurposeThis paper has two main purposes. One purpose is to examine the mediating role of affective commitment in the relationship between psychological climate and contextual and task performance. Another purpose is to conceptualize and measure the psychological climate.Design/methodology/approachData were analyzed using a sample of 514 employees working in 12 public sector companies in India. Partial least squares (PLS) technique was used to test the proposed research framework.FindingsThe results of this study revealed that affective commitment has a mediating role in the relationship between psychological climate and contextual performance as well as between psychological climate task performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of this study augment the theory of psychological climate by suggesting that individuals perceiving high a psychological climate are likely to have the high affective commitment that ultimately leads to higher performance.Practical implicationsPublic sector companies are encouraged to provide a favorable psychological climate that can emotionally commit the employees to perform well.Originality/valueThis study is one of its kinds to overcome the limitations of the earlier studies such as in examining the effect of higher-order psychological climate on task and contextual performances.

Underlying Mechanisms

Abstract. This study examined the effects of disclosure messages in entertainment-education (E-E) on attitudes toward hearing protection and attitude toward the source. In addition, the (mediating) role of the underlying mechanisms (i.e., transportation, identification, and counterarguing) was studied. In an experiment (N = 336), three different disclosure messages were compared with a no-disclosure condition. The results show that more explicit disclosure messages negatively affect transportation and identification and stimulate the generation of counterarguments. In addition, the more explicit disclosure messages affect both attitude measures via two of these processes (i.e., transportation and counterarguing). Less explicit disclosure messages do not have this effect. Implications of the findings are discussed.
