“…Due to women's less risk-taking capacity than their male counterparts, they are lesser inclined to engage in PSRB (Morrison, 2006; Shum et al , 2020). Studies have also examined individual differences like customer orientation (Gazzoli et al , 2022), counterproductive work behavior (Dahling et al , 2012; Ji and Yan, 2022) and public service motivation (Weißmüller et al , 2022) that facilitate PSRB. In contrast, conscientiousness (Dahling et al , 2012) inhibits PSRB.…”

“…Likewise, ethical culture and PSRB have been found to be positively related via ethical role model behavior (Merkle et al , 2020). Further, counterproductive work behavior promotes PSRB via impression motives (Ji and Yan, 2022). Also, organizational identification impacts PSRB via externally motivated organizational citizenship behavior (Irshad and Bashir, 2020).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to conduct a systematic literature review on prosocial rule-breaking (PSRB) and identify the underlying themes using content analysis.Design/methodology/approachThe current review is based on a portfolio of 37 studies collected from different electronic databases. An extensive literature review is done following a four-step methodology to understand the field comprehensively.FindingsThe present article identified themes in the field of PSRB based on antecedents, consequences, moderators and mediators. Further, the identified themes are classified into individual, job and organizational levels. Through a conceptual framework, how antecedents impact PSRB is shown, which leads to diverse consequences.Practical implicationsThrough this study, the authors attempt to help practitioners understand why PSRB behaviors occur in the workplace. Simultaneously, the authors' work helps managers identify potential strategies to evade the adverse effects of PSRB.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first systematic review of PSRB. The review also highlighted the gaps and provided future research directions based on the theory, context, characteristics and methodology (TCCM) framework.

Prior research on leader self‐sacrifice mainly demonstrates its positive role, while less attention has been paid to its potential negative consequences in the workplace. Based on social exchange theory, this study examines how and when leader self‐sacrifice may lead to employees' unethical pro‐organizational behavior (UPB). We tested our hypotheses with three‐wave data gathered from 570 employees. Results showed that leader self‐sacrifice indirectly promoted UPB via leader–member exchange (LMX). Moreover, employees' desire to see themselves in a positive light (i.e., self‐enhancement motives) moderated this indirect relationship, such that the indirect effect was less salient when employees had higher self‐enhancement motives. We discuss this study's implications for the research on leader self‐sacrifice as well as those for practitioners seeking to avoid the potential dangers of positive leadership behavior.
