Unpacking Leader Bottom-Line Mentality (BLM) in Organizations
Coping with the Threat? Investigating How and When Negative Performance Feedback Leads to Supervisor Bottom-line Mentality
Although existing research has explored the outcomes of supervisor bottom-line mentality (SBLM) extensively, its antecedents remain underexplored. Drawing on threat rigidity theory, we investigate how and when negative performance feedback (NPF) leads to SBLM. We conceptualize SBLM as a state-like variable and propose that supervisors feel threatened when receiving NPF from directors, which in turn leads to SBLM. We further propose that competiti…
Trickling out effects of abusive supervision
Can an employee rationalize their supervisory abuse to the point where sabotaging customers seems justified? Drawing from the social information processing theory perspective, we introduce three distinct types of supervisor–supervisee dyadic cognitive influences (i.e. attention-shifting, role-sending, and role-modeling mechanisms) to explain the trickle-out effects of abusive supervision on customers. We hypothesized that an abused employee’s per…
Understanding Why and When Supervisor Bottom‐Line Mentality Inhibits Workplace Safety
Ensuring workplace safety behaviors along with remaining profitable are two essential considerations for leaders in today's competitive world. However, the literature is yet to understand whether leaders focusing solely on achieving financial bottom‐line (i.e., those who adopt a bottom‐line mentality (BLM); supervisor BLM) are effective in enhancing employee workplace safety behaviors. Accordingly, in the present research, we draw from social inf…
Death anxiety among street-level bureaucrats
Drawing on the depletion model of self-regulation, this study investigates how death anxiety depletes the energy of SLBs, resulting in negative consequences for their work drive and public service performance. The study also examines the importance of trait mindfulness as a boundary condition for determining whether the psychological and work-related outcomes of death anxiety are more or less severe for some SLBs. Using time-lagged and supervisor…
The Ethical, Societal, and Global Implications of Crowdsourcing Research
Financially insecure and less ethical
With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, among other crises (e.g., Russia–Ukraine conflicts and recession projections) threatening organizations’ financial conditions across the globe, supervisors may not only encounter challenges such as job cuts that test their ethical leadership, but also experience financial insecurity themselves. However, our knowledge of why and when supervisors’ ethical leadership behaviors may be affected in such a situation re…
An uncertainty management perspective on the antecedents of leader self‐serving behavior
Leader self‐serving behavior has been associated with a range of adverse outcomes in the workplace. However, much remains to be explored about why and when such leader behavior emerges in organizations. This research develops and tests a theoretical framework that delineates the emotional and cognitive states that give rise to leader self‐serving behavior. Specifically, we draw on uncertainty management theory to theorize that job insecurity heig…
Sometimes enough is enough
Does work politics get in the way of nurses’ passions even when mired in a global pandemic? To address this question, we examined the nonlinear associations of general work passion with job outcomes for practicing nurses and investigated whether these relationships were consistent across levels of perceived work politics. Results from multi-source, time-separated data indicated that passion possessed nonlinear associations with job satisfaction (…
Bringing Excitement to Empirical Business Ethics Research
To commemorate 40 years since the founding of the Journal of Business Ethics, the editors-in-chief of the journal have invited the editors to provide commentaries on the future of business ethics. This essay comprises a selection of commentaries aimed at creating dialog around the theme Bringing Excitement to Empirical Business Ethics Research (inspired by the title of the commentary by Babalola and van Gils). These editors, considering the diver…
Enhancing employees' duty orientation and moral potency
Based on social cognitive theory (SCT), we develop and test a model that links ethical psychological climate to ethically focused proactive behavior (i.e., ethical voice and ethical taking charge) via two distinct mechanisms (i.e., duty orientation and moral potency). Results from multi‐wave field studies conducted in the United States, Turkey, France, Vietnam, and India demonstrate that an ethical psychological climate indirectly influences empl…
Do moral disengagers experience guilt following workplace misconduct? Consequences for emotional exhaustion and task performance
According to Bandura, moral disengagement facilitates misconduct by minimizing feelings of guilt that normally arise when one contemplates wrongdoing. While trait moral disengagement has been negatively associated with anticipatory guilt, scholars have yet to fully consider its impact on guilt post ‐ misconduct. In this paper, we examine the indirect effects of trait moral disengagement on post‐misconduct guilt, and downstream effects on employee…
Thriving at work but insomniac at home
Bottom-line mentality (BLM) describes a one-dimensional frame of mind revolving around bottom-line pursuits, which pervades most organizations today. But how does working with high BLM supervisors affect employees’ functioning both at work and at home? Guided by this question, we draw on social information processing theory and insights from the person–environment fit literature for a nuanced understanding of the effects of supervisor BLM. Using …
Whatever It Takes
Given that many organizations are competitive and finance centered, organizational leaders may lead with a primary focus on bottom-line attainment, such that they are perceived by their subordinates as having a bottom-line mentality (BLM) that entails pursuing bottom-line outcomes above all else. Yet, the field is limited in understanding why such a leadership approach affects employees’ positive and negative contributions in the workplace. Drawi…
Moral Burden of Bottom-Line Pursuits
A Multilevel Analysis of the Relationship Between Ethical Leadership and Ostracism
Stronger together
In this research, we integrate social impact theory (SIT) and social cognitive theory (SCT) to examine how group ethical voice, as a form of social influence, reduces group abusive supervision. Drawing on SIT, we hypothesize that the strength of this relationship is contingent on the group's power, size, and social distance from the group leader (i.e., interaction frequency). Results from data collected over two time periods from 521 employees in…
Employee thriving at work
Thriving at work has been linked to a wide range of positive individual and organizational outcomes. However, research to date has primarily focused on its individual and work‐related antecedents, overlooking family‐related issues that constitute an essential part of social interactions. To advance our understanding of socio‐relational sources of employee thriving at work, we investigate the differential effects of family incivility and family su…
Fueling the intrapreneurial spirit
A closer look at how managerial support can help improve patient experience
Recent debates in healthcare have emphasized the need for more respectful and responsive services that meet patients’ preferences. These debates centre on patient experience, one of the most critical factors for measuring healthcare performance. In exploring the relevance of patient experience key questions need answers: what can managers or supervisors do to help improve the quality of healthcare? What is the role of employees? Addressing these …
Being ignored by loved ones
This paper extends the understandings of the contextual antecedents of employee creativity at work by examining what can happen when employees are ostracized by loved ones at home, a phenomenon referred to as family ostracism . Drawing on insights from the conservation of resources (COR) theory, we examine the moderated multiple mediation relationships between family ostracism and an individual's creativity at work through strain‐based family‐to‐…

We conducted preregistered replications of 28 classic and contemporary published findings, with protocols that were peer reviewed in advance, to examine variation in effect magnitudes across samples and settings. Each protocol was administered to approximately half of 125 samples that comprised 15,305 participants from 36 countries and territories. Using the conventional criterion of statistical significance ( p < .05), we found that 15 (54%) of …
