“…A large body of empirical findings confirms the role of moral disengagement in the expression of immoral and/or harmful behaviors, such as aggression and violence [ 44 ], counterproductive behavior in the workplace [ 45 ], academic cheating [ 46 ], and civic duties violations, such as driving violations [ 47 ]. Importantly, even in the sporting context, the use of moral disengagement mechanisms shows significant effects.…”

Doping use is considered as a deviant behavior in sport contexts, and it is necessary to recognize preventive factors to shut down the negative consequences. We proposed that athletes experiencing loss of personal significance would be more prone to doping use intentions. This pathway should occur through the effect of the enhanced predominance of obsessive (vs. harmonious) passion that such athletes experience concerning their sport activity, which, in turn, facilitates the adoption of moral disengagement strategies to find justifications for it, when they perceive that significant others approve their intention. The study relied on a cross-over design, with a convenience sample of 437 athletes recruited at four sports sciences Universities evenly distributed in Italy. Questionnaires administered contained a validated tool based on Kruglanski’s theorizing on radical and deviant behavior (e.g., Loss of Significance, Obsessive, and Harmonious passion) and deriving from social cognitive theory (e.g., Moral disengagement). Results of the study tested a serial mediation moderated model, which links the different variables to explain the influence they have on the intentions to use doping. Overall, this research suggests a motivational dynamic that may be at the heart of illicit behaviors in sport, such as using drugs-enhancing performance potentially among athletes of all kinds.

“…These mechanisms were first described by Bandura et al (1996) to explain the self-exonerative cognitive processes that people use when they violate moral norms. Previous research showed that civic moral disengagement behaviors are related to violence and aggression (e.g., Caprara, Tisak, Alessandri, Fontaine, Fida, & Paciello, 2014;Maftei et al, 2019), street gang offending (Niebieszczanski et al, 2015), driving violations (Holman & Popusoi, 2018), and generally, lower self-restraints related to antisocial behaviors (Fontaine et al, 2012).…”

“…The overall impact of FLP predicts positive employee commitment, productivity, and resistance to the moderating effect of PDT on OCB. Because PDT is a prerequisite to destructive behaviors that justify violating laws (Holman & Popusoi, 2018;Maftei et al, 2021), leaders who apply FLP along with FLI and FLA are more likely to have employees who go "above and beyond" their regular duties and less likely to disengage from OCB morally.…”

“…Moral disengagement is a person's process of justifying ignoring standards or laws. For example, people use moral disengagement to justify ignoring a traffic safety law (Holman & Popusoi, 2018). Comparatively, the repeated exposure to a socially deviant behavior that influences decision-making is known as perceived deviance tolerance (Pitesa & Thua, 2013).…”

Organizational leaders set the example for "what is acceptable" ethical behavior and encourage organizational citizenship behavior among employees. Organizational citizenship behavior is the willingness to go above and beyond regular duties and responsibilities without using formal reward systems. However, employees who use social comparisons or repeatedly witness leaders who tolerate deviant behaviors are more likely to morally disengage from the positive attributes associated with organizational citizenship behavior. This research aims to determine ethical leadership attributes that resist the negative impact of perceived deviance tolerance on employee organizational citizenship behavior. The Leadership Ethic and Decision-making (LEAD) model is grounded in the foundational leadership theory which suggests that leaders should conduct an inward examination using integrity and assurance with an outward examination based on pragmatism to improve employee perception of ethical decision-making. The result of this study is based on responses from 378 full-time employees in the United States. The findings reveal that LEAD is a reliable, ethical leadership model and pragmatism is resistant to negative moderation of perceived tolerance of deviant behavior on employee contributions in the workplace. Therefore, leaders, managers, and HR professionals who apply the LEAD model will influence organizational citizenship behavior while reducing the deviant behaviors associated with the perceived tolerance of deviance.
