Impact Of Senior Management Governance On Migration Workplace Behavior In The Food Processing Industry: Mediating Role Of Business Ethics Decision-Making

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of senior management governance on workplace deviance behavior in the food processing industry. Employing business ethics decision-making as the mediating variable, a theoretical model is constructed to elucidate the relationships among senior management governance, ethical decision-making, and workplace deviance behavior in the food processing industry. China's food processing sector serves as the focal point for the survey, with 544 sample data subjected to empirical analysis. The findings indicate that: 1. Senior management governance significantly positively influences business ethics and has a noteworthy negative impact on egoistic decision-making. 2. Within the realm of business ethics, utilitarian decision-making exerts a negative inhibitory effect on workplace deviance behavior in the food processing industry, whil[1]e self-interest decision-making demonstrates a significant positive effect. 3. Business ethics decision-making plays a pivotal mediating role between senior management governance and workplace deviance behavior in the food processing industry. In other words, senior management governance operates by fostering business ethics decision-making, thereby effectively mitigating deviant behavior in the food processing industry. This study broadens the application scope of senior management governance and ethical decision-making, enhancing the literature on workplace deviance behavior. It provides a practical foundation and theoretical guidance for the food processing industry to optimize internal governance, address ethical challenges, enhance behavioral performance, and cultivate a community of social responsibility.
