THE INFLUENCE OF IDENTITY ORIENTATIONS ON MORALLY LICENSED CWB

The first article discusses how an individual's identity orientation affects their likelihood of engaging in
counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs) when they feel morally licensed to do so. The article identifies
three identity orientations - personal, relational, and collective - and explains how they moderate the
relationship between a moral license and CWBs. The article concludes that the nature or target of CWB
will vary depending on an employee's identity orientation.

MORAL LICENSING AND PERSONAL REPUTATION

The second passage explores the impact of moral licensing on interpersonal dynamics within
organizations, specifically regarding the personal reputation of employees. The author suggests that
positive behaviors, such as engaging in organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs), can enhance an
employee's personal reputation, while engaging in CWBs can damage it.

DISCUSSION :

The discussion section extends the moral licensing lens to an organizational setting, highlights the need
for a more nuanced understanding of positive organizational behaviors, and calls for research to examine
how such behaviors may have not only benefits but also costs. The section also suggests that future
investigations of the effects of citizenship or deviance on organizational performance should give greater
consideration to both OCB and CWB.

DIRECTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH

Finally, the passage on directions for future research discusses potential areas for investigation, including
the role of moral licensing in employees' experiences of stress and work-family conflict, the influence of
task visibility on the relationship between OCBs and CWBs, the potential implications of vicarious moral
licensing in the workplace, and strategies for motivating employees to engage in OCBs without causing
subsequent deviant behavior or decreasing intrinsic motivation.
