Description

<p>This paper discusses the concept of Unethical Pro-organizational Behavior (UPB). UPB is defined as “actions that are intended to promote the effective functioning of the organization or its members (e.g., leaders) but violate core societal values, mores, laws, or standards of proper conduct” (Umphress and Bingham 2011: p. 622). Research on UPB has been undertaken in various studies in recent years; however, there are few studies in Japan. In this work, we review the literature on UPB. Firstly, we clarify the difference between UPB and other similar concepts so as to further the understanding on UPB. Secondly, we discuss from the view point of the socio-psychological mechanism and process model, particularly with regard to moral disengagement and neutralization. After introducing the measurement items of UPB, we explain the relationship between UPB and other concepts, such as attitude, leadership style, and individual and contextual aspects, by reviewing various empirical studies. Finally, we provide suggestions for future research.</p>
