Abstract

This study examines the relationship between distributive injustice and unethical behavioral intention in workplace under Chinese culture background. According to literatures of organizational injustice, unethical behavior and guanxi, we hypothesize that distributive injustice will positively relate to unethical behavioral intention of individuals, and guanxi status of individuals will play a moderating role in the relationship. Study results generally supported our hypotheses listed above. Firstly, level of perceived injustice was positively predicted individuals’ unethical behavioral intention. Secondly, the positive relationship of injustice and unethical behavioral intention was reinforced when individuals maintained estranged guanxi status to the leader in organizations.
