The Effects of Perceived Behavioral Integrity of Supervisors on Employee Outcomes: Moderating Effects of Tenure

ABSTRACT

Studies in behavioral integrity literature have generally attempted to discover the effect of behavioral integrity on employee attitudes and behavior. However, the moderating variables in these relationships have been neglected. In this study, we investigate the moderating role of employees’ tenure in the relationship between the perceived behavioral integrity of supervisors and employee outcomes. To test the moderating role of tenure in the relationship in question, multiple group analysis is favored and a sample of 290 hotel employees is used. The analysis reveals that employees’ tenure moderates the relationship between perceived behavioral integrity and trust in supervisors and the relationship between employee job satisfaction and intention to quit.

关于行为诚信的研究文献一般是试图发现行为诚信对员工态度和行为的影响，但却忽略了这些关系中的调节变量。在本研究中，我们调查员工任期在被察觉的主管行为诚信与员工结果之间关系中的调节作用。为了测试任期在所讨论的关系中的调节作用，我们采用多组分析形式，并使用290个酒店雇员作为样本。分析显示，员工的任期能够调节行为诚信与主管信任之间的关系，以及员工工作满意度和离职意向之间的关系。
