摘要

Despite growing interest in the consequences of obsessive work passion, empirical findings remain mixed. This study investigates the mechanisms and boundary conditions through which employee obsessive work passion influences moral behavior. Drawing on two multi-wave surveys (Study 1: N = 269; Study 2: N = 455) conducted among full-time employees, a moderated mediation model is proposed and tested. Across both studies, results consistently show that obsessive work passion positively predicts workplace moral behavior, and this relationship is mediated by problem-solving pondering. Furthermore, leader competence and employee moral identity jointly moderate this indirect effect: the mediation is stronger when leader competence is high and moral identity is low. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how obsessive work passion can foster positive moral outcomes under certain conditions, highlighting the importance of cognitive and contextual factors. Theoretical and practical implications and directions for future research are discussed.
