Leadership and Ethics in Work Groups
研究了36个工作群体12周，发现更积极的领导风格会促使成员在伦理决策框架（形式主义和功利主义）上更趋同，群体凝聚力部分中介了这一关系。
This study explored the relationship between leadership style and individual ethics in work groups. We present a model of how active leadership affects conformity in members’ ethical decision frameworks (formalism and utilitarianism). We tested this model by examining 36 work groups over a 12-week period. Results supported the hypothesis that more active leadership would lead to greater conformity in both types of ethical frameworks. A second hypothesis, that group cohesion would mediate this relationship between leadership style and ethical conformity, was partially supported. Implications of these findings for leadership, groups, and ethics research are discussed.
