摘要
借鉴解释水平理论的新近观点,构建理论模型研究决策者感知到的心理距离如何影响企业对供应商不符合伦理规范行为的解释水平,进而影响伦理判断和伦理管理态度。采用认知心理学双因素混合实验设计和伦理模拟情境法,设计目前供应商、较远未来供应商和无关第三方3个版本的4种模拟伦理小场景,以54名有管理经验的MBA学员和管理专业博士生为被试进行实验研究。研究结果表明,心理距离对解释水平、伦理判断和伦理管理的主效应显著;企业与供应商之间的心理距离越近,对不符合伦理规范行为的解释水平越低,对供应商的伦理判断越不严格,对其伦理管理的程度越松;心理距离不仅直接影响而且通过解释水平和伦理判断的部分中介影响企业对供应商的伦理管理程度;把供应商视为无关第三方,对其不符合伦理规范的行为进行高水平解释,才能提高伦理判断的准确性,进而提高供应商伦理管理的有效性。
Based on the new points of views in the construal level theory, this study builds a research framework to discuss how psychological distance influences enterprise＇s constrnal level of supplier＇s unethical behavior, which in turn affects ethical judg- ment and management. The two-factor mixed experimental design and ethical scenario simulation, a method of cognitive psychol- ogy experimental research, is adopted to create four types of unethical behavior scenarios with each behavior further classified into the present supplier＇s , the future supplier＇s and the unrelated third party＇s version. 54 MBA and doctoral students with manage- ment experience are selected as research subjects to participate the experiments. The variance analysis shows the main effects of psychological distance on eonstrual level, ethical judgment and ethical management are all significant, which indicates that the closer the psychological distance between the enterprise and its suppliers is, the lower the construal level on the unethical behav- ior is, the less strict the ethical judgment on the suppliers is, and the looser the supplier ethical management is. The psychologi- cal distance not only directly influences the supplier ethical management but also affects supplier ethical management through par- tial mediation of the construal level and the ethical judgment. Only if the suppliers＇ unethical behavior is represented in high-lev- el eonstrual by regarding them as an unconcerned party, can the ethical judgment be made more correct, leading to improve the effectiveness of the supplier ethical management.
