内容简介:
We experimentally investigate whether losing (versus winning) in tournament incentive settings increases employees’ tendency to misreport their performance in unrelated tasks. We predict that losing a tournament threatens self-esteem, potentially motivating employees to restore self-esteem through misreporting their performance. More importantly, while prior research highlights the positive effects of employee engagement in corporate social responsibility (CSR), we propose that CSR engagement can exacerbate the misreporting behavior of tournament losers due to a “moral license” effect. As predicted, we find that, without CSR engagement, the level of misreporting does not differ significantly between tournament losers and winners, whereas with CSR engagement, tournament losers are more likely to misreport than winners. Mediation analysis confirms that the threat to self-esteem underlies these effects. Evidence from a supplemental study further supports our theory. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
文章采用实验研究方法,讨论在锦标赛激励环境下,失败(VS胜利)是否会增加员工在不相关任务中虚报绩效的倾向。文章预测,锦标赛的失败会威胁自尊,从而可能导致员工有动机通过虚报绩效来恢复自尊。更重要的是,尽管先前的研究强调了员工参与企业社会责任(CSR)的积极效果,但是我们提出CSR的参与可能会由于“道德许可”效应而加剧锦标赛失败者的虚报行为。与预测结果一致,研究发现,在没有CSR参与的情况下,锦标赛失败者和胜利者之间的虚报水平没有显著差异,而在有CSR参与的情况下,锦标赛失败者比胜利者更有可能虚报。中介分析证实,自尊威胁是这些效应的根源。
