Unethical leadership (UL) Leader-Member exchange ( LMX ) Unethical Pro organizational behavior (UPB) Moral identity (MI) Occupational identification (OI)

Our results, based on data from 291 employees, support the model. Regression analysis results provided evidence for the model. The analysis revealed a positive relationship between UL (unethical leadership) and LMX (leader-member exchange), which suggested that LMX mediated the relationship between UL and UPB (the followers’ perception of UPB).
