Abstract:

Based on the social exchange theory, 379 employees from 22 enterprises in South China were selected to participate in the survey using convenient sampling method to investigate the psychological mechanism of benevolent leadership on unethical pro-organizational behaviors. The results showed that: Benevolent leadership was positively related to unethical pro-organizational behaviors. Job satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between benevolent leadership and unethical pro-organizational behaviors. Work family conflict played a moderating role in the relationship between benevolent leadership and job satisfaction, such that the relationship was stronger when employees had high rather than low work family conflict. Work family conflict further moderated the indirect effect of benevolent leadership on unethical pro-organizational behaviors via job satisfaction, which means that the higher the work family conflict level, the more positive effect of benevolent leadership on unethical pro-organizational behavior will be enhanced through job satisfaction.

Key words: benevolent leadership, unethical pro-organizational behaviors, job satisfaction, work family conflict
