Negative workplace gossip (NWG) is a form of verbal, indirect, and covert attack against others in an organization. Given the increased ease of engaging in NWG using modern communication technologies, NWG has become a major risk factor that threatens the victims' psychological health and can encourage their unethical behavior. This study links NWG to deviant workplace behavior (DWB), revealing the negative role of NWG in shaping employees' work attitudes and behaviors. Working from the perspective of social cognitive theory, this study built a moderated mediation model based on three-wave data from 338 Chinese workers. NWG was found to induce DWB through the mediator of moral efficacy. Furthermore, sensitivity to social information amplified the direct influence of NWG on moral efficacy. By revealing the underlying mechanism and boundary conditions by which NWG induces DWB, this study contributes to the literature on NWG and social cognitive theory. Practical implications to prevent and control the negative influences of NWG are also offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
