Background:

  • Unethical behaviors significantly impact workplace dynamics and employee well-being.
  • Previous research has focused on individual misbehaviors, but the cumulative effect of multiple unethical acts is less understood.
  • Ethical impact theory provides a framework for understanding the consequences of unethical experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between unethical work polyvictimisation and aggregated individual well-being.
  • To investigate the association between unethical work polyvictimisation and work stress.
  • To explore the mediating role of work stress in the relationship between unethical work polyvictimisation and well-being.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized panel data from a sample of business professionals.
  • Employed quantitative analysis to assess the relationships between variables.
  • Tested hypotheses derived from ethical impact theory.

Main Results:

  • Unethical work polyvictimisation was negatively associated with two measures of employee well-being.
  • A positive relationship was found between unethical work polyvictimisation and work stress.
  • Work stress mediated the negative impact of unethical work polyvictimisation on well-being.

Conclusions:

  • Organizations must address and reduce instances of unethical work polyvictimisation.
  • Implementing strategies to mitigate multiple unethical behaviors can enhance employee well-being.
  • Decreasing unethical work polyvictimisation is essential for reducing employee work stress.
