How Hopeless Progress Leads To Performance Bias:the Mediating Role Of Moral Disengagement And The Moderating Role Of Chaxu Climate

With the rapid development of the economy and rapid changes in the external environment of enterprises,more and more enterprises tend to adopt flat organizational structure,cutting organizational hierarchy and making managers more streamlined,which greatly reduces the promotion opportunities for employees.Under normal circumstances for most enterprises,often a carrot a pit,promotion channels are limited,only in relatively senior positions when someone leaves or retires,to vacate the vacant positions,to open promotion channels for employees,and some companies will recruit some talents from outside parachuted into the enterprise,further compressing the promotion channels for employees.With the increasing awareness of people’s career,they are no longer only concerned about salary and position,but more and more about whether they can gain knowledge,improve their ability and get satisfaction in their work.However,the reality runs counter to people’s aspirations,and many people experience career stagnation in the workplace,known academically as a career plateau,which is unavoidable for most people.However,career plateaus often lead to workplace deviant behaviors,which ultimately affect organizational performance.This thesis introduces workplace deviant behavior,moral disengagement and chaxu climate into the study of career plateau,with career plateau as the independent variable,workplace deviant behavior as the dependent variable,moral disengagement as the mediating variable between career plateau and workplace deviant behavior,and chaxu climate as the moderating variable,to investigate the interaction mechanisms among career plateau,workplace deviant behavior,moral disengagement and chaxu climate.The interaction mechanisms among career plateau,workplace deviance,moral disengagement and chaxu climate were explored.The data were collected by means of a scale questionnaire,and 272 valid questionnaires were received.The data were analyzed by using the analysis software SPSS24.0 and Mplus 8.3,and the hypothesis model was verified.The following conclusions were drawn and analyzed:career plateau positively influences workplace deviance;career plateau positively influences employee moral disengagement;employee moral disengagement positively influences workplace deviance;moral disengagement positively mediates the relationship between career plateau and workplace deviance;chaxu climate positively moderates the positive relationship between career plateau and employee moral disengagement;chaxu climate positively moderates the mediating effect of moral disengagement between career plateau and workplace deviance.Based on the findings of the empirical study,this thesis proposes management suggestions for corporate managers.Finally,the research shortcomings and limitations of this thesis are discussed,and future research directions are prospected.
