Abstract

Using social cognitive theory, this study employs multiple regression and the Bootstrap method to analyze 249 data samples, examining the mechanism of how leader unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB) affects employee cyberloafing behavior. The results of the study indicate that leader UPB has a positive impact on employee cyberloafing behavior, and employee cynicism partially mediates this relationship. The research not only explains the mechanism of leader UPB on employee cyberloafing behavior, but also enriches the application scope of social cognitive theory to a certain extent, providing theoretical and practical insights for organizations to reduce leader UPB.
