PAGE PAGE 33 伦理型领导对员工伦理行为的影响——以上下级关系为中介 摘要：自19世纪80年代以来，经济全球化的趋势犹如浪潮一般席卷全球。在这股浪潮之中，中国企业经历了改革开放、加入WTO等一系列经济和政策的洗礼，从而迅速成长并且脱颖而出。如今的中国企业已显示出更加宽广的视野和更加坚实的技术革新力量，但也面临着经济加速带来的挑战。为了能够不被日新月异的世界所淘汰，企业必须能够做到在适应市场的同时，塑造良好的企业形象以取得长足的发展。这就要求企业拥有灵活机动的组织架构和约束自身、恪守职业道德的员工。于是，员工伦理行为作为管理学领域的重要研究方向，逐渐引起了国内外学者以及企业家的极大关注，至今也构建了一定的理论体系。而作为影响员工伦理行为的重要变量之一，国外文献对伦理型领导风格已有相关评述，但在国内还鲜有本土化的理论。因此，中国情境下两者关系是否成立有待论证。 本研究吸收了文献回顾所得到的理论积淀，并以此为基点预测伦理型领导风格对员工伦理行为有正向影响，又考虑到上下级关系是中国企业不容忽视的特点，而且紧密的上下级关系可能会促发更多的正面伦理行为，因此将上下级关系作为中介变量。而后采用Brown等人的伦理型领导量表和Lin等人的伦理行为量表，展开扩大规模的问卷调查。根据调查结果可知，在中国情境下，伦理型领导对员工伦理行为有正向影响。同时，上下级关系与前因和后果变量均呈现正相关，并且显示其有部分中介作用。该结论表明，企业不仅可以通过塑造伦理型领导风格来促进员工的伦理行为，亦可加强培养上下级之间的关系。 关键词：伦理型领导，上下级关系，伦理行为 Study on the Effect of Ethical Leadership on Employees’ Ethical Behavior: The Mediate Role of Supervisor-Subordinate Guanxi Abstract: Since 1880s, the trend of economic globalization has been sweeping through the world, like a tide. After experiencing reform and open policy as well as joining the WTO, Chinese enterprises are growing rapidly and standing out from other countries’ enterprises. Recently, Chinese enterprises have shown more broad vision and more solid technical innovation strength while challenges brought by economic environment also come out. In order not to be washed, they are supposed to adapt to the market and form excellent enterprise images, so that they can develop for good. It requires them to have flexible organizational structures and employees who can restrict themselves and abide by professional ethics. As a result, employees’ ethical behavior has aroused great concern of scholars and entrepreneurs as an important research direction. And there has been form a theoretical system of ethical behavior so far. On the other hand, ethical leadership is one of the most significant factors that affect employees’ ethical behavior, which has been widely studied abroad while rarely at home. Thus, the relationship between the two is moot in Chinese context. On the base of literat
