When employees prioritize their short-term interests over the organization's long-term reputation, they are more likely to engage in UPB.
“Research has indicated that when employees prioritize their short-term interests over the organization’s long-term reputation, they are more likely to engage in UPB [35].”
From Exploring Mianzi consciousness congruence and its impact on unethical pro-organizational behavior (2024) · cites this paper as [35]
The Theoretical Implications section (page unavailable) reports that employees high in psychological entitlement were more willing to engage in UPB to satisfy their own status needs. The introduction (page unavailable) says UPB may harm an organization’s reputation in the long term. The paper does not establish that employees weigh short-term interests against long-term reputational harm or that this specific prioritization predicts UPB. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
