(2017): Ethical leadership and pro-social rule breaking. A dual process model. In: Acta Psychologica Sinica 49 (1). DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1041.2017.00106
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3724/SP.J.1041.2017.00106 Abstract: Pro-social rule breaking (PSRB), as one form of constructive deviance, is receiving increasing attention from researchers, yet surprisingly our knowledge of the antecedents of PSRB is fairly limited. Although the effects of personal traits on PSRB are well discussed in the literature, we know little about how contextual factors in the work environment, such as leadership style, shape PSRB. The current study aims to address this research gap by examining the relationship between ethical leadership and PSRB. Specifically, drawing from the social information processing theory, we propose a dual process model that ethical leadership enhances employees' PSRB via psychological safety and job autonomy. We further investigate the moderating effect of employees' risk taking propensity in the model. The participants were recruited from four organizations in three cities of China (i.e., Beijing, Shanghai, and Dalian). The data was collected at two time points to avoid the common met hod bias . At Time 1, ethical leadership, psychological safety, job autonomy, and risk taking propensity were measured. At Time 2, that is, one month later, participants' PSRB behavior was assessed. The final sample size was 241. We used SPSS 22.0 and Mplus 6.12 to analyse the data. First, we assessed the discriminant validity of the key variables through a series of confirmatory factor analyses (CPAs) and examined the common method variance. Afterwards, we used the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and bias-corrected bootstrap to test our hypotheses. The results showed a significantly positive relationship between ethical leadership and PSRB, and the relationship was mediated by psychological safety and job autonomy. Furthermore, individual risk taking propensity moderated the relationship between job autonomy and PSRB, such that the positive relationship was stronger for those employees with higher, rather than lower, levels of risk taking propensity. Our study contributes to the PSRB lit erature in several ways. Frist, we investigate the effects of ethical leadership on employees' PSRB, which broadens our understanding of how contextual factors influences PSRB. Second, we reveal the theoretical black-box of why ethical leadership facilitates PSRB by identifying psychological safety and job autonomy as two underlying mechanisms. Finally, we extend the ethical leadership and PSRB research by demonstrating risk taking propensity as a crucial contingency that moderates the effects of ethical leadership and job autonomy on PSRB.

(2012): Justice and Conflicts. Theoretical and Empirical Contributions. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
Abstract: Explained the complex construct of moral courage. Moral courage is defined as courageous behavior accompanied by anger and indignation which intends to enforce societal and ethical norms without regard to one's own social costs. It is the risk of negative social consequences that distinguishes moral courage from other forms of prosocial behavior. Similarities and differences between moral courage, heroism, and social control are discussed. Determinants promoting or inhibiting morally courageous behavior include situational factors and particular personality traits including justice sensitivity, empathy, high self-assurance, and open-mindedness. The presence or absence of others has been found to be a particularly significant determinant of helping behavior but not morally courageous behavior. Training programs designed to promote moral courage are outlined. In summary, moral courage is an important concept and should be promoted within society. zitiert von: 59

(2007): Gibt es eigentlich noch abweichendes Verhalten? Krisendiagnosen in Soziologie und Kriminologie. In: Kriminologisches Journal 39 (3), S. 162-184
Abstract: Das Konzept "abweichendes Verhalten" scheint innerhalb der Soziologie und der Kriminologie seinen einstmals zentralen Stellenwert bei der Analyse gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen und Regulation eingebüßt zu haben; an seine Stelle treten Begriffe wie "Risiko", "Risikoverhalten", "Problemverhalten" und "anti-social behavior". Ausgehend von der US-amerikanischen Debatte um den "Tod abweichenden Verhaltens" werden hier die zentralen Argumente und Entwicklungslinien des Konzepts der Devianz vorgestellt und die begrifflichen Neuschöpfungen einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen. Die grundlegende Hypothese ist dabei, dass Normativität und damit abweichendes Verhalten auch der Thematisierung von Risiko und Risikoverhalten zugrunde liegt. Zwar lassen sich neue Formen der gesellschaftlichen Regulation und der sozialen Ordnungsbildung feststellen, die aber als Institutionen des gesellschaftlichen Umgangs mit unerwünschtem oder störendem Verhalten durchaus in der Perspektive von Normativität und Devianz zu interpretieren sind.
