“…Finally, we did not control for social desirability in our study. We are aware of only one study that has included measures of social desirability with the Dahling et al (2009) scale (i.e., Dubbelt et al, 2015) and they did find a weak, negative correlation. We cannot rule out the possibility that leaders may have been concerned with social desirability when answering the Machiavellianism scale.…”

Though considerable research has been conducted on ethical leadership, we still know very little about the antecedents to ethical leadership perceptions. Drawing primarily from social learning theory, we propose a process model by which leader Machiavellianism affects ethical leadership, which is then hypothesized to influence psychological empowerment. In addition, we propose that team member role performance and organization-directed organizational citizenship behavior will be consequences of psychological empowerment. Drawing from a sample of 242 employees reporting to 82 leaders, our findings broadly demonstrate support for our hypotheses and advance our understanding of both antecedents and outcomes of ethical leadership. We discuss the theoretical implications of our findings, along with the practical insights, limitations, and future research opportunities.

“…In a SJT, participants are confronted with a description of a particular situation, and participants choose one out of several response options. The contents of these SJTs can be presented in a text-based format (e.g., Oostrom et al, 2019 ), a video-based format (e.g., Dubbelt et al, 2015 ), or in a gamified format (e.g., Georgiou et al, 2019 ). To illustrate these studies’ findings, McCord et al (2019) found convergent validity between a gamified assessment of the FFM personality traits and several self-reported FFM personality traits.…”

Construct and Predictive Validity of an Assessment Game to Measure Honesty–Humility

Research on commercial computer games has demonstrated that in-game behavior is related to the players’ personality profiles. However, this potential has not yet been fully utilized for personality assessments. Hence, we developed an applied (i.e., serious) assessment game to assess the Honesty–Humility personality trait. In two studies, we demonstrate that this game adequately assesses Honesty–Humility. In Study 1 ( N = 116), we demonstrate convergent validity of the assessment game with self-reported Honesty–Humility and divergent validity with the other HEXACO traits and cognitive ability. In Study 2 ( N = 287), we replicate the findings from Study 1, and also demonstrate that the assessment game shows incremental validity—beyond self-reported personality—in the prediction of cheating for financial gain, but not of counterproductive work and unethical behaviors. The findings demonstrate that assessment games are promising tools for personality measurement in applied contexts.

“…Even in those very limited relevant literature, scholars hold completely opposite opinions. Some regard deferential behaviour as the representation of a cooperative group status process (Driskell and Salas, 1991), while some view it as a workplace deviance (Dubbelt et al , 2015), related to behaving unethically (Wahn, 2003) and having illegal intentions (Smith et al , 2007).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the mechanism which can explain and predict subordinates’ deferential behaviour in China. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected using mail surveys. The study used two sources of data (supervisor and subordinate) obtained via two separate sets of surveys. In total, 600 questionnaires were distributed to subordinate–supervisor dyads employed in a variety of organizations, and 441 dyad-level questionnaires were collected. Findings The paper revealed that supervisors’ political mentoring (PM) moderated the strength of the mediated relationships between a supervisor’s trust in the subordinate and the subordinate’s deference to supervisor via supervisor–subordinate guanxi. Furthermore, the direct interaction effect of a supervisor’s trust and PM influenced the subordinate’s deference to supervisor only when the level of PM was low. Originality/value This study clarifies the mechanism by which supervisor’s specific behaviours affect subordinate’s deference to supervisor, and explores how supervisor–subordinate dyad creates a reciprocal relationship. The research indicates the unique effect of supervisor’s PM in Chinese organizations, and reinforces the importance of considering supervisor’s trust in the subordinate.
