Purpose This paper aims to propose and test a moderated mediation model examining the relationships among ethical work climate, organizational identification, leader-member-exchange (LMX) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Design/methodology/approach Numerous regression analyses were performed using PROCESS (version 2.13), a macro for SPSS developed by Hayes (2017) to test this moderated mediation model. Findings The analytical results showed that organizational identification mediates the positive relationship between an ethical work climate and OCB. The analytical results also showed that LMX moderates the direct effect of ethical work climate on organizational identification and that LMX also moderates the indirect effect of ethical work climate on OCB via organizational identification. Practical implications This study provides numerous valuable implications for hotels to develop effective strategies to promote employees’ OCB and improve their organizational identification. Originality/value This study was the first attempt to propose and test a moderated mediation model that explores the relationships among ethical work climate, organizational identification, leader-member-exchange (LMX) and OCB.

This study developed and tested a multilevel, moderated mediation model of whether, how, and when authentic leadership can affect employee work engagement in a hotel context, building on social exchange theory. A two-wave data collection process gathered 440 valid responses of hotel frontline employees from five-star hotels in China. The result supported a positive influence of authentic leadership on work engagement and the mediating role of leader–member exchange (LMX). Hotel employees’ perceived power distance orientation moderated the indirect relationship between authentic leadership and work engagement through LMX. In contrast to previous studies supporting the negative effect of power distance on employee behavior, the present findings suggest that power distance strengthens the relationship between authentic leadership and hotel employees’ work engagement. This study contributes to authentic leadership literature and provides insights into how interactions between personal and contextual factors affect authentic leadership’s influence on work engagement in hospitality organizations.

Purpose – This study aims to examine the effect of relative leader-member exchange (RLMX) on employee voice by developing a moderated mediation model. The model focuses on the mediating role of affective commitment underpinning the relationship between RLMX and employee voice, and the moderating role of Chinese traditionality in influencing the mediation. Design/methodology/approach – We tested the model with data from 358 supervisor-subordinate dyads in a large Chinese company. Employees and their immediate supervisors provided data on separate questionnaires and on different occasions. And then, we used an identification number to match each employee questionnaire with the response of his/her immediate supervisor. Findings – Results indicated that affective commitment fully mediated the positive relationship between RLMX and employee voice, even after controlling for personal leader-member exchange (LMX) quality. We also found that Chinese traditionality moderated the mediated relationship between RLMX and employee voice via affective commitment, such that the mediation was stronger for people lower, rather than higher, in Chinese traditionality. Research limitations/implications – Testing the moderated mediation model helps to advance our theoretical understanding of the psychological mechanisms that underlie the effect of RLMX on employees’ behaviour. Originality/value – This empirical study provides preliminary evidence of the mediating role of affective commitment in the positive relationship between RLMX and employee voice. Our moderated mediation model also extends the existing finding by adding substantive moderators (Chinese traditionality) to explain how the effect of RLMX on employees’ behaviours unfolds.
