Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 管理學院管理科學學程 === 103 === The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of ethical climate on employee’s silence on workplace extramarital affairs and also to explore the moderating effects of workplace friendship and moral identity on the effects. Subjects of this study were employees mostly work in high-tech companies in the Science-based Industrial Park in Hsinchu area. We distributed the questionnaires online and 215 of them were returned. After excluding 84 invalid questionnaires, the final sample included 131 subjects. We used hierarchical regression analysis to test our hypotheses and found that: First, ethical climate had a significant positive relationship with employee’s silence on workplace extramarital affairs; second, workplace friendship had a significant negative relationship with employee’s silence on workplace extramarital affairs; third, workplace friendship had a moderating effect on the relationship between ethical climate and employee’s silence on the affairs; fourth, moral identity had no effect on employee’s silence on the affairs; and fifth, moral identity had no moderating effect on the relationship between ethical climate and employee’s silence on extramarital affairs. According to the findings of this study, we derived guidance for enterprises on how to establish their regulations of staff management in order to discourage the occurrence of unethical extramarital relationships among employees in workplace.
