Abstract

Abstract only Given the prevalence of unethical behavior in organizations, it is important to determine potential antecedents of morally heroic behaviors. This symposium is devoted to continued exploration of answers to this simple yet not completely answered question: what makes an employee more versus less likely to become a moral hero? The proposed symposium aims to approach the question from two aspects. First, the symposium is intended to expand our current understanding about the predictors of whistle-blowing, the most widely studied but not completely understood type of morally heroic behavior, by exploring how intra-team dynamics (e.g., intra-team ostracism, intro-team helping) could influence whistle- blowing intention and behavior. Second, this symposium aims to motivate research questions surrounding other types of morally heroic behaviors by exploring the predictors of other types of morally heroic behaviors such as moral objection and ethical advocacy.
