Abstract
This article examines whether ego-depletion mediates the positive link between employees’ fear of failure in meeting their goals and their unethical behavior. In addition, the moderating roles of moral attentiveness on the mediated relationship is examined. Drawing on multi-wave data from sales representatives in the USA (n = 334) and Pakistan (n = 381) ego-depletion was found to mediate the positive relationship between fear of goal failure and unethical behavior. In addition, employees’ moral attentiveness was found to attenuate the positive link between fear of failure and unethical behavior.
