This study attempted to test not only the influence of transformational leadership(TFL) on employees' unethical pro-organizational behavior(UPB), but also the mediating effect of organizational identification(OID) between TFL and employees' UPB. This study employed two research methods: literature review and empirical testing of the developed hypotheses. Data were collected through online questionnaire instruments from 229 employees working at companies in Korea. To test the hypotheses, structural equation modeling was employed. The model is shown as adequately fitting to the data. The results showed that there was not a positive and statistically significant relationship between TFL and employees' UPB, and OID played as a mediator in the relationship between TFL and employees' UPB. These findings provide a meaningful implication that the positive impact of TFL is linked to employees' UPB through OID.

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between authentic leadership, organizational identification, job performance, and turnover intention. Specifically, the study investigated whether subordinates' organizational identification mediates the relationship between authentic leadership and subordinates' job performance and turnover intention. The study tested the mediated model using data from 299 employees working in a variety of organizations. The result revealed that authentic leadership was positively related to organizational identification and job performance but was negatively related to turnover intention. Further, organizational identification partially mediated the effects of authentic leadership on job performance and turnover intention. Theoretical and practical implications and limitations of the study were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between ethical leadership, organizational identification and job stress. Moreover, harmonious passion was considered as a mediating factor between ethical leadership and outcomes. This study tested the mediated model with data from 369 employees working in various organizations. Then, structural equation modeling was used to test proposed hypotheses. The result showed that ethical leadership was positively related to harmonious passion and organizational identification. However, ethical leadership was not related to job stress in this study. And through the mediating role of harmonious passion, ethical leadership had significant effects on organizational identification positively and job stress negatively. Especially, it was revealed that harmonious passion partially mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational identification, and fully did the relationship between ethical leadership and job stress. Implications and limitations of the study were discussed.

As the systematic management of knowledge within an organization is recognized as a core factor for the continuous growth of an organization, organizations are increasing their interest in knowledge management. Knowledge management requires the active sharing of knowledge by insiders of the organization, but there are cases of failure due to the lack of participation of leaders and employees of the organization. The purpose of this study is to suggest a mechanism by which the authentic leadership of leaders in small and medium-sized enterprises(SME), which are relatively lacking in knowledge production capacity, leads to intention to share knowledge of employees. In addition, the study confirms that reciprocal feedback and task interdependence moderate the relationship between antecedent factors and intention to share knowledge. In this study, a research model was derived based on precedent research, and 272 samples were obtained by conducting a questionnaire survey on employees of SME that introduced a knowledge management policy. And, the study verified the hypothesis by applying structural equation modeling based on AMOS 22.0. The results of the study proved that authentic leadership has a positive effect on the intention to share knowledge through organization identification and organization commitment, and confirmed that reciprocal feedback and work interdependence moderate the relationship between knowledge sharing intentions and antecedent factors. This study suggests the mechanism by which the authentic behavior of the leaders of SMEs affects the knowledge sharing behavior of employees, and suggests that work cooperation strengthens the influence of the mechanism.
