Analyzing Third Parties' Unethical Reactions to Organizational Citizenship Behavior of Coworkers

Abstract

Abstract:

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) contributes to the development of social capital and "lubricates" the social ma-chinery of the organization, and has become essential for organizational success.Almost all the existing researches take a first-person per-spective to examine the causes and consequences of OCB and very few researches take a third-party viewpoint to study OCB. It is more likely that OCB has detrimental effects on third parties, and result in the fact that good citizens suffer unethical treatments from these people. We adopt a multilevel, "cognition-emotion-behavior" framework that probes into the within-person process mechanism of third parties' unethical reactions to OCB, basing on social comparison theory, affective events theory and attribution theory respectively. Our work extends the existing theories and researches. It explains why and how third parties engage act unethically to good citizens and pro-pose a new direction for studying the dark side of OCB.

Key words: organizational citizenship behavior, unethical act, helping
