Abstract
A burgeoning literature examines a fairly recent area of research - unethical pro-social behavior (UPB), that is, unethical behavior motivated by the desire to benefit other individuals or entities (e.g., group, organization) (Chen, Chen,XX1Sheldon, 2016; UmpressXX1 Bingham, 2011; Umpress, BinghamXX1Mitchell, 2010) - has drawn the attention of scholars to a number of important antecedents, such as organizational culture, organizational norms, and leader behavior. This symposium is designed to further the field’s knowledge in this realm by examining UPB from various relational perspectives. The four papers included in the symposium shed novel light on UPB as a relational phenomenon by using a variety of research designs, study populations, and methods. Taken together, our symposium highlights relational contexts, intermediary mechanisms, and outcomes of UPB.
