员工主体视角下道德权威的概念、形成、跨层演进与多层影响
The concept,formation,cross-level evolution,and multilevel impacts of employee moral authority
摘要
Abstract
Trends of organizational flattening and decentralization are challenging traditional theories and practices of organizational ethics and have given rise to employee-based moral authority as a new topic in organizational management.As an informal form of authority,moral authority transcends the limitations of formal authority in terms of hierarchy,direction,and scope,achieving an ethical reshaping effect that spans hierarchies,directions,and boundaries.However,moral authority has not yet received sufficient attention in management studies.In response,this study constructs and tests a theory of moral authority based on the research framework of"concept construction-formation mechanisms-cross-level evolution-multilevel impacts."First,it defines the concepts of"moral authority"and"moral authority team norming"and develops corresponding measurement tools.Second,it examines the formation mechanisms of moral authority and reveals how it influences team collectives through the path of"social judgment-social identity-social influence,"thus realizing team-level norming.Finally,the study empirically investigates the multilevel impacts of moral authority team norming on individual psychology,team efficiency,and organizational systems,as well as its underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions.This study theoretically expands the field of organizational ethics research and,in practice,provides businesses with a new approach to ethical governance that can drive large-scale change through small,localized interventions.关键词
