Drawing on previous work on moral disengagement and balance theory, the (in)congruence effect of leader and follower moral disengagement (MD) propensity on followers' unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB) was examined in this study. Dyad data were gathered from 185 CEOs and 555 followers from 185 firms located in China. The polynomial regression analysis results suggest that followers in the presence of leader-follower congruence in MD propensity conduct more UPBs. Moreover, followers conduct more UPBs with MD propensity in the presence of congruence. We also found asymmetrical incongruence effects. Followers engage more in UPBs when their MD propensity exceeds their leaders' MD propensity than when their leaders' MD propensity exceeds their own. Overall, the findings emphasize the value of considering followers' and leaders' traits for shedding light on the occurrence of UPBs.
本研究借鉴先前关于道德脱离和平衡理论的研究，考察了领导者和追随者道德脱离（MD）倾向的（不）一致性效应对追随者不道德的亲组织行为（UPB）的影响。这项研究从中国 185 家公司的 185 位首席执行官和 555 位员工那里收集了对偶数据。多项式回归分析结果表明，在 MD 倾向的领导者-追随者一致性存在的情况下，追随者会更多地进行 UPB。此外，当追随者的 MD 倾向与领导者的 MD 倾向一致时，他们会进行更多的 UPB。我们还发现了不对称的不和谐效应。当追随者的 MD 倾向超过领导者的 MD 倾向时，他们会更多地从事 UPB，而当领导者的 MD 倾向超过自己的 MD 倾向时，他们会更多地从事 UPB。总的来说，这些发现强调了考虑追随者和领导者特质的重要性，以揭示 UPB 的发生。
