This study proposes a model in which organizational identification mediates the correlations among state-owned enterprises (SOEs), authentic leadership, Christian religiousness, and unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). The proposed theoretical framework is based on moral identity theory, social identity theory, and social exchange theory. We tested the hypothesized model using data (N = 389) from employees of various companies and industries in Poland. Of the respondents, 49.1% worked in SOEs. The reliability and validity of the measures were established. The correlation coefficients among the analyzed variables were obtained using the bootstrap confidence interval method. To thoroughly examine the causal relationships among the variables, covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was adopted. Path analysis was conducted and used to verify a model in which organizational identification mediated the correlations among state involvement in the ownership of an enterprise, authentic leadership, Christian religiousness, and UPB. State involvement in the ownership of an enterprise, authentic leadership, and Christian religiousness were linked to increased organizational identification, which in turn was linked to the intensification of UPB. With the level of organizational identification controlled, state ownership of an enterprise was linked to lower UPB intensity. Limitations, implications and future research directions are discussed.
本研究提出了一个模型，其中组织认同在国有企业（SOEs）、真实领导、基督教宗教信仰和不道德的亲组织行为（UPB）之间的相关性中起中介作用。所提出的理论框架基于道德认同理论、社会认同理论和社会交换理论。我们使用来自波兰各种公司和行业的员工数据（N=389）检验了假设模型。受访者中，有 49.1%在国有企业工作。采用自举置信区间法获得了分析变量之间的相关系数。为了彻底检验变量之间的因果关系，采用基于协方差的结构方程建模（CB-SEM）。进行路径分析并验证了一个模型，其中组织认同在企业所有权中的国家参与、真实领导、基督教宗教信仰和 UPB 之间的相关性中起中介作用。企业所有权中的国家参与、真实领导和基督教宗教信仰与组织认同的增强有关，而组织认同的增强又与 UPB 的加剧有关。在控制组织认同水平的情况下，企业的国家所有权与较低的 UPB 强度有关。讨论了局限性、意义和未来的研究方向。
