This study aims to examine the relationship between workplace spirituality (WPS) and unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB), as well as explore the mediating role of moral disengagement (MD) in this relationship. Using a sample of 266 employees working in China, hypotheses were tested through a structural equation model. The results indicate a positive correlation between WPS and UPB, with MD not exhibiting a mediating effect in the relationship between WPS and UPB. Further analysis of the relationship between the three dimensions of WPS and UPB reveals that meaningful work and values consistent with the organization have a direct impact on UPB. However, community consciousness requires MD to generate UPB, indicating a complete mediating effect of MD in the relationship between community consciousness and UPB. Based on these findings, potential threats posed by WPS are identified, providing theoretical guidance for future research on WPS.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between workplace spirituality (WPS) and unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB), as well as explore the mediating role of moral disengagement (MD) in this relationship. Using a sample of 266 employees working in China, hypotheses were tested through a structural equation model. The results indicate a positive correlation between WPS and UPB, with MD not exhibiting a mediating effect in the relationship between WPS and UPB. Further analysis of the relationship between the three dimensions of WPS and UPB reveals that meaningful work and values consistent with the organization have a direct impact on UPB. However, community consciousness requires MD to generate UPB, indicating a complete mediating effect of MD in the relationship between community consciousness and UPB. Based on these findings, potential threats posed by WPS are identified, providing theoretical guidance for future research on WPS.
