This study examines the impact of consumer ethics on the CSR motive attributions and, the subsequent consumer perception of the firm's ethicality. Data of 512 adults were collected nationwide using a self-administered questionnaire online. Exploratory and confirmative factor analysis were employed to identify six underlying dimensions of consumer ethics, as follows: actively benefiting from illegal actions, passively benefiting from illegal actions, no harm/no foul, economic benefiting from illegal actions, intellectual property infringement, and pro-environmental behavior. In order to examine the relationships between consumer ethics, CSR motive attribution, and consumer perceived ethicality, a structural equation modeling test was conducted. The results demonstrated that actively benefiting from illegal actions, economic benefiting from illegal action, and pro-environmental behavior had impacts on CSR motive attributions such as strategy-driven attribution, value-driven attribution, and stakeholder-driven attribution. Consequently, strategy-driven attribution and value-driven attribution influenced the consumer perception of the firm's ethicality, whereas stakeholder-driven attribution did not. This study provides an understanding of the CSR attribution mechanism from the view of consumer ethics that are multi-dimensional. The ethical judgements on different types of consumer behavior lead to attributions of CSR motives and subsequently their perception of a firm's ethicality.

Purpose - This study has its purpose to identify the correlation between factors and moderating variables that can reduce job burnout by setting a positive relationship with a leader and ethicality of the leader as factors reducing job burnout and helping behavior as a moderating variable. Research design, data, and methodology - The research design would make theoretical perceived ethical leadership and LMX toward helping assistance, and job burnout using by structural equation method. Results - As a result, both positive behaviors and recognition on ethical leadership of a leader have been confirmed to influence on mitigation of job burnout. Especially, among the two factors, ethicality has shown to be more efficient to alleviate exhaust compared with positive behavior of a leader. Conclusions - Theoretical perceived ethical leadership and LMX toward a leader, helping assistance, and job burnout are statistically significant, however, the helping behavior of members is the factor increasing a job burnout. These results can be interpreted as the difficulties of relation setting with the members for the leader, and although loyalty and responsibility toward right leader may induce helping behavior, and positive behavior for organization can impact on the job burnout. It can be concluded that the ethicality of a leader is an essential factor for the development of organization.

The central objective of this paper is to check different effects developed by interaction with a gender and brand attributes related to the brand authenticity such as brand authority and brand ethicality. The survey method was used for this paper, and data from a total of 136 office workers were used for the analysis. The data were analyzed using smartPLS, a structural equation modeling tool. The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. First, brand authority has a significant effect on brand authenticity in both male and female. Second, brand ethicality has a significant effect on brand authenticity in only male. Third, brand authenticity has a significant effect on purchase and word-of-mouth intention in only male. Therefore brand authority is the determinant of the perceived brand authenticity. The findings have significant implications which the study inquires into the gender difference in the perceived brand authenticity of consumers.

With the rising importance placed on sustainability for brands, a plethora of research addresses consumer responses concerning eco-friendly products. While positive effects of eco-friendly traits on beauty products have been discussed, this study addresses a wide research gap in the makeup category. Based on the goal-attribute theory and the lay theory of ethicality, detrimental effects of eco-friendly ingredient claims on perceived appearance enhancement attributes (AEA) were examined. A between-subject, single-factor (eco-friendly ingredient claims present vs. absent) web-based experimental design tested the effect of conditions on makeup products that emphasized AEA. Results found a negative effect of eco-friendly ingredient claims on perceived AEA, supporting previous literature regarding the 'green gap'. Evidence showed that perceived AEA fully mediated the effect of eco-friendly claims on purchase intention, which was moderated by AEA preference. Interestingly, findings show that the purchase intention of respondents with a near-average preference for AEA was not moderated. Results contribute to preexisting literature by extending the lay theory of ethicality and product function mismatch to the field of makeup. Managerial implications are discussed, including opportunities for eco-friendly makeup products to appeal to alternative benefits.

윤리적 제품과 기업에 대한 소비자의 호의적인 태도, 윤리적 소비자의 증가는 최근 전 세계적인 흐름이다. 그럼에도, 윤리적 제품에 대한 호의가 반드시 구매로 이어지지 않는다는 연구들 또한 등장하고 있다. 본 연구는 그러한 사실에 주목하여, 윤리적 제품의 어떠한 특성에 대한 소비자의 지각이 구매행동으로 연결되는지 탐색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 3개의 실험이 수행되었으며, 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 같은 윤리적 제품이라 할지라도 소비자가 지각한 윤리성의 정도가 높아야 소비자의 선택 가능성이 높아졌으며. 이러한 경향은 친환경 제품과 기부형 제품을 막론하고 확인되었다. 이는 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 '진정성(authenticity)'에 대한 소비자의 지각으로도 이해할 수 있을 것이다. 둘째, 지각할만한 윤리성의 차이가 없다면, 윤리적 소비자들은 브랜드명성을 구매의사결정의 중요한 요인으로 판단하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기업별로 윤리성의 정도가 차이가 나는 제품이 아니라면, 결국 윤리적 소비에 있어서도 브랜드명성이 중요한 요소로 작용할 수밖에 없다는 사실을 시사해준다. 셋째, 윤리적 제품의 소비는 소비자의 특성에 따라 차이점을 나타내지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 소비자의 이타성과 과시성을 중심으로 비교하였으나, 이러한 개인 특성의 여부와 상관없이 브랜드명성과 지각된 윤리성이 매우 큰 영향을 지니는 것으로 나타났다. 예상과는 달리, 이타적 성향의 소비자들에게서 언더독 효과가 발생하지 않았다는 점이다. 연구 결과와 관련하여 몇 가지 시사점과 연구의 한계, 향후 연구에 대한 제언을 논의하였다.

Purpose: This study aims to explore how consumers respond to the immoral actions of a CEO. More specifically, this research focuses on the moral reasoning processes used by consumers in order to maintain support for the CEO despite the immoral action. In addition, this research suggests that support for the CEO would improve product purchase intention. Research design, data, and methodology: To test the hypotheses presented, an online research company was hired and online survey was conducted with adult participants. Online research company sent an email to the potential subjects asking their participation in an online survey. Subjects were able to participate in the online survey by clicking a link to the survey. When the participants clicked the link, they were instructed to read a fictitious newspaper article on a CEO's immoral action. And then, they were asked to answer several questions online. Responses were obtained from 336 adults participants and data were analyzed using SPSS Hayes Macro for a moderation effect and AMOS for a structural equation model. Result: Moral reasoning processes were divided into moral decoupling and moral rationalization and analyzed to determine their influence on product purchase. Also in this study, we suggest the public self-consciousness of consumers as an antecedent of moral reasoning processes, and argue that consumers with high public self-consciousness are more likely to engage in moral decoupling than moral rationalization. Conclusions: Our results showed that moral decoupling and moral rationalization improved the consumer's perception of corporate ethicality, which increased product purchase intention. In addition, consumers with high public self-consciousness were more likely to engage in moral decoupling than in moral rationalization. In addition, this research suggested that severity of the scandal would moderate the impact of public self-consciousness on moral decoupling. However, this hypothesis was not supported statistically since most participants perceived the scandal to be a highly severe incident, that may lead to an insignificant interaction effect between severity of the scandal and public self-consciousness. This research expands the scope of available research on corporate ethics and consumer responses to negative information involving celebrities and provides practical implications for corporate crisis management.

This study aims at developing and empirically testing a comprehensive model of organizational justice derived from the prior empirical studies on organizational justice. The study seeks to understand the antecedents to and the consequences are addressed. The first question is what characteristics of the HRM systems determine the levels of perceived distributive and procedural justice. Hypotheses are derived from the two prominent theoretical models, i.e., the self-interests model (SIM) and the group value model (GVM). Those factors include neutrality, consistency, accuracy. ethicality. credibility. and reciprocity in the processes of making HRM decisions. All nine factors suggested by the two models aye adopted for this study as major determinants of both distributive and procedural justice. The second question of this study is related to the moderating effects of individual differences on the relationship between the SIM and GVM variables and perceived distributive and procedural justice in organizational contexts. The final research question deals with the consequences of perceived organizational justice. specifically job - related altitudes and organizational commitment. Job-related attitudes in this study refer to job satisfaction, job motivation, and job involvement, i.e., the willingness to make contributions. identification with organization, and intent to stay. In examining the consequences of perceived organizational justice, the study focuses on the interaction effects of procedural and distributive justice on the above nine outcome variables. The results show that both SIM and GVM variables significantly influence distributive and procedural justice. However, hierarchical regression analyses reveal that the GVM variables except more influence has been focused on the consequences of perceived distributive justice with regard to outcomes provided by the organization.

이 연구는 우리나라 협상자들이 가지는 인구학적 특성과 문화 가치가 비윤리적 협상 전략에 대한 평가와 사용의도에 미치는 영향을 연구한 것이다. 협상자의 문화 가치에 따라 전통적 경쟁협상, 상대 네트워크 공격, 거짓약속, 허위정보 전달 및 비윤리적 정보 수집의 다섯 가지 비윤리적 전략에 대한 평가와 사용의도에 차이가 나타나는지 살펴보았다. 특히 협상자의 문화 가치를 측정함에 있어 보편적(etic) 문화 가치로 인정되는 홉스테드(Hofstede) 문화변수와 우리나라 고유의 문화 변수인 '체면'을 함께 고려하여 문화 변수들 간의 상대적 설명력을 비교하였다. 연구결과, 인구학적 특성과 문화 가치는 모두 비윤리적 협상 전략에 대한 평가에 영향을 주고 있었다. 인구학적 특성의 경우, 연령과 경력은 유의미한 결과를 나타냈으나 성별과 협상 스타일은 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 문화 변수의 경우, 체면 변수의 설명력이 홉스테드의 문화변수보다 높게 나타나는 경향을 보여, 비윤리적 협상 전략에 대한 우리나라 협상자들의 인식과 태도에 체면이 중요한 영향을 미치고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 문화 현상에 대한 에믹(emic) 접근과 에틱(etic) 접근의 유용성에 대해 논의하였다.
