Unethical pro-supervisor behavior and employees' family satisfaction: The roles of workplace ostracism and work-home segmentation preference

Curr Psychol. 2023 Jun 8:1-11. doi: 10.1007/s12144-023-04724-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study proposes a moderated mediation model that examines how and when unethical pro-supervisor behavior is related to employees' family satisfaction. The two-wave study design consisted of 207 full-time employees in China. The study results indicate that unethical pro-supervisor behavior is negatively related to family satisfaction, and that workplace ostracism mediates the influence of unethical pro-supervisor behavior on family satisfaction. In addition, the relationship between workplace ostracism and family satisfaction as well as the indirect influence of unethical pro-supervisor behavior on family satisfaction through workplace ostracism, are moderated by employees' work-home segmentation preference. The study findings not only enrich the literature on unethical pro-supervisor behavior, but also have important practical implications for organizational managers.PMID:37359687 | PMC:PMC10248325 | DOI:10.1007/s12144-023-04724-9
