Effect of Perceived Organizational Virtuousness on Challenge-Oriented Organizational Citizenship Behavior: A Dual Mediation Model

Abstract

This study explores the internal mechanism between organizational morality perception and employee challenged organizational citizenship behavior and the internal mechanism based on the perspective of Chinese context and the integration of cognitive emotions. The results of multi-source tracking questionnaires show that: 1) Organizational moral awareness has a significant positive effect on employees' challenging organizational citizenship behavior; 2) Internal person identity and emotional commitment are perceived in organizational ethics and employees, respectively. The relationship between challenged organizational citizenship behaviors plays an intermediary role; 3) The recognition of insider identity and emotional commitment also play an intermediary role in the relationship between organizational moral awareness and employee challenge-based organizational citizenship behavior.
