Research on the effects of mood in organizations tends to focus on the valence dimension of mood (positive vs. negative), overlooking the activation dimension (activated vs. deactivated). We suggest that activation level prompts unethical behavior. Based on the affective infusion model (AIM; Forgas, 1995), we predict that positive activated and negative activated moods facilitate unethical behavior to benefit a teammate, via the mediating mechanism of a creative mindset. We test our full model using an experience sampling method over 2 weeks, in which mood and creative mindset were assessed in the morning and unethical behavior conducted that day was assessed in the evening. We found that activated moods (both positive and negative) were positively related to unethical behavior to benefit a teammate. Further, creative mindset mediated the relationship between positive activated mood and unethical behavior to benefit a teammate. Consistent with AIM's claim that mood should influence decisions more when they are not personally relevant, we found that moral disengagement propensity moderated this indirect effect. In addition, we conducted two experiments to examine further the mood‐creative mindset and creative mindset‐unethical behavior to benefit a teammate relationship. Our findings affirm that activated versus deactivated moods facilitate a creative mindset, and that a creative mindset encourages unethical behavior to benefit a teammate. Our findings suggest that activation level of mood plays a critical role in unethical behavior.

感觉被激活并以不道德的方式行事:激活的情绪对不道德行为的影响使队友受益

对组织中的情绪影响的研究倾向于关注情绪的效价维度(正与负),而忽略激活维度(激活与失活)。我们建议激活级别提示不道德的行为。基于情感注入模型(AIM; Forgas,1995),我们预测积极和消极的积极情绪会通过创造性思维方式的中介机制促进不道德行为,从而使队友受益。我们使用了2周的经验抽样方法测试了完整的模型,其中早晨评估了情绪和创造性思维,晚上评估了当天进行的不道德行为。我们发现,活跃的情绪(积极和消极)与不道德行为正相关,有利于队友。进一步,创造性思维介导了积极的积极情绪与不道德行为之间的关系,从而使队友受益。与AIM的观点一致,即情绪与个人无关时,情绪应该对决策产生更大的影响。我们发现,道德脱离接触的倾向减轻了这种间接影响。此外,我们进行了两个实验,进一步研究了情绪创造型思维和创造性思维型不道德行为,以改善队友关系。我们的研究结果表明,激活或不激活的情绪会促进创造性的思维方式,创造性的思维方式会鼓励不道德的行为,从而使队友受益。我们的发现表明,情绪的激活水平在不道德行为中起着至关重要的作用。我们声称,情绪与个人无关时,应该对决策产生更大的影响,我们发现道德脱离接触的倾向减轻了这种间接影响。此外,我们进行了两个实验,进一步研究了情绪创造型思维和创造性思维型不道德行为,以改善队友关系。我们的研究结果表明,激活或不激活的情绪会促进创造性的思维方式,创造性的思维方式会鼓励不道德的行为,从而使队友受益。我们的发现表明,情绪的激活水平在不道德行为中起着至关重要的作用。我们声称,当情绪与个人无关时,情绪应该对决策产生更大的影响。我们发现,道德脱离接触的倾向减轻了这种间接影响。此外,我们进行了两个实验,进一步研究了情绪创造型思维和创造性思维型不道德行为,以改善队友关系。我们的研究结果表明,激活或不激活的情绪会促进创造性的思维方式,创造性的思维方式会鼓励不道德的行为,从而使队友受益。我们的发现表明,情绪的激活水平在不道德行为中起着至关重要的作用。我们进行了两个实验,进一步研究了情绪创造型思维和创造性思维型不道德行为,以改善队友关系。我们的研究结果表明,激活或不激活的情绪会促进创造性的思维方式,创造性的思维方式会鼓励不道德的行为,从而使队友受益。我们的发现表明,情绪的激活水平在不道德行为中起着至关重要的作用。我们进行了两个实验,进一步研究了情绪创造型思维和创造性思维型不道德行为,以改善队友关系。我们的研究结果表明,激活或不激活的情绪会促进创造性的思维方式,创造性的思维方式会鼓励不道德的行为,从而使队友受益。我们的发现表明,情绪的激活水平在不道德行为中起着至关重要的作用。
