摘要

Prior studies have primarily examined the consequences of employee BLM, largely neglecting its antecedents. In line with threat rigidity theory, we identified employee bottom-line mentality (BLM) as a mediator and proposed that job insecurity activated employee BLM, which subsequently inhibited interpersonal citizenship behaviors (ICBs) and promoted political behaviors. Furthermore, we positioned employee moral reflectiveness as a moderator that weakened the indirect effects of job insecurity on ICBs and political behaviors via BLM. We utilized multilevel analyses to examine our hypotheses by analyzing a sample of 306 employees and 71 supervisors. Results showed that job insecurity provoked employees to adopt a BLM, which resulted in reduced ICBs and facilitated political behaviors. In addition, employee moral reflectiveness attenuated the indirect associations between job insecurity and ICBs and political behaviors through BLM. Specifically, these indirect effects emerged when moral reflectiveness was low, whereas did not emerge when it was high.
