Considering the implications of social exchange theory as a context for social role behavior, we tested relations between ethical leadership and both person- and task-focused organizational citizenship behavior and examined the roles played by employee gender and politics perceptions. Although social exchange theory predicts that ethical leadership is positively associated with citizenship, social role theory predicts that the nature of this relationship may vary on the basis of gender and politics perceptions. Results from data collected from 288 supervisor-subordinate dyads indicate that the pattern of male versus female employees' citizenship associated with ethical leadership depends significantly on their perceptions of politics. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
考虑到社会交换理论作为社会角色行为的背景所具有的意义，我们检验了伦理领导与员工的人际和任务导向的组织公民行为之间的关系，并考察了员工性别和政治认知感知所扮演的角色。尽管社会交换理论预测伦理领导与公民行为呈正相关，但社会角色理论预测这种关系的性质可能会因性别和政治认知感知而有所不同。对 288 对主管-下属对的数据进行分析的结果表明，与伦理领导相关的男性和女性员工公民行为模式，很大程度上取决于他们对政治的看法。文章还讨论了理论和实践方面的启示。
