This study investigated how corporate sustainability performance can be attained through the interface of corporate ethical values and leader-member exchange, and how employees’ positive and negative behaviors can influence these relationships. A total of 310 data sets were collected and used to test our hypotheses. To assess the factorability of the variables, exploratory factor analysis was conducted, and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test the fit and validity of the measurement model. Then, the structural model proceeded to test the hypotheses. The results of this study found that employee behaviors can highly influence corporate sustainability performance. Depending on contextual or/and relational factors, employee behaviors can either encourage more organizational citizenship behavior or alleviate counterproductive work behavior. These findings demonstrate that it is critical not only to create an ethical working environment but also to develop quality relationships with direct managers.

实现企业的可持续发展绩效：企业道德价值的影响以及领导者与成员之间的交流对员工行为和组织绩效的影响

这项研究调查了如何通过企业道德价值观和领导者－成员交流的界面来实现企业可持续发展绩效，以及员工的积极和消极行为如何影响这些关系。总共收集了310个数据集并用于检验我们的假设。为了评估变量的可分解性，进行了探索性因子分析，并进行了确认性因子分析以检验测量模型的适合性和有效性。然后，结构模型继续检验假设。这项研究的结果发现，员工的行为可以极大地影响公司的可持续发展绩效。根据上下文或/和关系因素，员工行为可以鼓励更多的组织公民行为或减轻适得其反的工作行为。这些发现表明，不仅创建道德的工作环境，而且与直接经理建立良好的关系也很重要。
