Millennial employees are increasingly paying more attention to well-being in the workplace and it has become an important issue for managers. Given that millennial employees are more sensitive to ethical issues, this study began by analyzing an ethical element in the organization-the ethical climate-and explored whether millennial employees have higher affective well-being in organizations with a good ethical climate. We verified our hypotheses based on 288 valid questionnaires collected from 40 teams. The results showed that: (1) ethical climate was a positive predictor of millennial employees' organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and affective well-being, (2) employees' OCB partially mediated the relationship between ethical climate and affective well-being, and (3) an employee's moral identity effectively moderated the relationship between ethical climate and affective well-being, although it did not play a significant moderating role between ethical climate and OCB. These findings provide empirical support for applying situational strength and social information processing theories and emphasize the importance of cultivating an ethical climate in organizations.
千禧一代员工越来越关注工作场所的幸福感，这已成为管理者面临的一个重要问题。鉴于千禧一代员工对道德问题更为敏感，本研究首先分析了组织中的一个道德要素——道德氛围，并探讨了在具有良好道德氛围的组织中，千禧一代员工是否具有更高的情感幸福感。我们基于从40个团队收集的288份有效问卷验证了我们的假设。结果表明：（1）道德氛围是千禧一代员工组织公民行为（OCB）和情感幸福感的正向预测因素；（2）员工的组织公民行为在道德氛围和情感幸福感之间起到部分中介作用；（3）员工的道德认同有效调节了道德氛围与情感幸福感之间的关系，尽管它在道德氛围和组织公民行为之间没有起到显著的调节作用。这些发现为应用情境力量和社会信息加工理论提供了实证支持，并强调了在组织中营造道德氛围的重要性。
