Summary:碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 心理學所 === 96 === Organization ethics became a critical issue in recent Taiwanese society. Several scandals redirect researchers’ and practitioners’ attention to explore the influence of unethical behavior in the organizations. Employee’s moral values might play important role in shaping ethic organizational situation; however, relevant studies are insufficient to construct a clear understanding, especially for Taiwanese organizations. The importance of employee and supervisor’s personal business moral values and the influence of employee and supervisor’s personal business moral values on effectiveness are rare discussed. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship among supervisor’s and subordinate’s business moral value and employee effectiveness in Taiwanese organizations. This study also investigated the moderating effect of supervisor’s moral leadership. Using 264 supervisor-subordinate dyadic samples from various Taiwan organizations, the results showed: (a) supervisor’s business moral values were positively associated with subordinate’s business moral values; (b) supervisor’s business moral value scores were higher than subordinate’s business moral value scores; (c)supervisor’s business moral values were positively associated with subordinate’s loyalty to the organization and job performance; (d) subordinate’s business moral values were positively associated with subordinate’s loyalty to the organization and job performance, and negatively associated with attendance; (e) moral leadership moderated the relationship between subordinate’s business moral value and loyalty to the organization. Contributions and limitations were discussed, and suggestions were provided for future studies and managerial practices.
