사회적 자본과 조직몰입이 비윤리적 친조직행동에 미치는 영향: 윤리적 리더십의 조절된 매개효과

Although there is a lot of research on social capital, there are few studies examining the double-sidedness of social capital. In order to examine social capital from various perspectives, it is necessary to examine both positive and negative functions of social capital. Present paper not only understood the positive results of the social capital investigated by the prior social capital researchers, but also focused on the negative aspects of the social capital. Although social capital can induce positive outcomes such as organizational citizenship behavior and job satisfaction, excessively high level of social capital could form closed group or instrumental tool and lead to group conformity. Based on this perspective, current study attempts to examine the negative aspects of social capital. Present study also aims to provide the negative mechanism of social capital and the strengthened understanding. The purpose of current study is as follows. First, this paper analyzed whether the level of social capital has a positive effect on the unethical pro-organizational behavior of the members. Second, We examined the mediating effect of organizational commitment in the influence of social capital on unethical pro-organizational behavior. Third, present paper investigated whether the effect of social capital on unethical pro-organizational behavior through organizational commitment depends on the level of ethical leadership. A total respondents of 565 questionnaires in 30 companies located in Seoul and metropolitan areas. were analyzed by SPSS 23.0, Amos 24.0, and Process Macro. The results of this paper are as follows. First, impact of social capital on unethical pro-organizational behavior is not significant. Second, social capital has a positive impact on unethical pro-organizational behavior through mediating role of organizational commitment (Affective, Normative). Third, although the influence of social capital on unethical pro-organizational behavior through organizational commitment is not significantly moderated by ethical leadership, it is true that the effect of social capital varies according to the level of ethical leadership. This results are meaningful to have different results from previous research related to existing social capital. In the mediating role of organizational commitment, the influence of social capital on unethical pro-organizational behavior is fully mediated by organizational commitment. Results implied that the social capital in the organization increases the emotional attachment and duty of the members, induces the group conformity that discriminates and rejects other groups, and causes the members to engage in unethical pro-organizational behavior in violation of social norms. In the Moderated Mediation role of ethical leadership, although the hypothesis that the effect of social capital through organizational commitment on unethical pro-organizational behavior would be Moderated Mediation by ethical leadership was rejected, the magnitude of effect has changed according to the level of ethical leadership. The results displayed the dysfunction of social capital and suggested the implications for mitigating the dysfunction of social capital through ethical leadership in addition to the existing research that the formation of social capital is important. Based on these findings, current paper suggests understanding and necessity of ethical leadership in order to facilitate interaction between supervisor and members for ethical management at the organization level.
