在先前的研究中，領導者已被證實對於員工的生產力以及反工作行為皆有著莫大的影響力。道德領導者在過去文獻中也曾被多方提出其對於員工的內部績效以及外部績效之正向影響，因此本研究特以道德領導者為主要變數，探討其對於員工主動性行之影響。基於過去研究，我們更延伸出以下其他假設：(1) 探討「員工情感信任」、「認知信任」及「領導者－部屬交換關係」對於道德領導者與員工主動性行為之中介影響。(2)以員工「認知情緒調節」以及「主管－員工目標一致性」作為道德領導者個別與情感信任、認知信任之調節變數。
本次研究以台灣企業，尤以金融業作為主要研究對象，並回收203份有效問卷，研究結果如下：首先，道德領導者對於員工情感信任、認知信任以及領導者－部屬交換關係皆有正向影響。其次，員工情感信任與認知信任對於領導者－部屬交換關係也存在正向影響。另外，員工情感信任與認知信任個別對於道德領導者與領導者－部屬交換關係之關係存在正向中介影響。而領導者－部屬交換關係對於道德領導者與員工主動性行為之關係也存在正向中介影響。然而，認知調節情緒以及主管－員工目標一致性無論是道德領導者與情感信任抑或是道德領導者與認知信任之間的關係，皆不存在任何調節效果。最後，無論從員工情感信任到領導者－部屬交換關係或認知信任到領導者－部屬交換關係，兩者之綜合中介效果，在道德領導者與員工主動性行為的關係中都是不成立的。

Leaders have been empirically proved to play a significant role in affecting employees’ tendency to behave in deviant or productive manner. Specifically, in the current research, we focused on ethical leadership as it has been proved to have great influence on both employees’ in-role and out-role performance. Based on the results, we extend the research by trying to address both trust in leader and LMX as the mediator between ethical leadership and employees’ proactive work behaviors. Further, we purpose employees’ cognitive emotion regulation and perceived leader-follower goal congruence as the moderator between ethical leadership and first, affective trust, and second, cognitive trust.
The 203 samples of the current study were collected from Taiwanese companies, which mainly are banking business. We chose especially financial business as ethicality and credibility has been considered the fundamental elements in this kind of industry. The results in our study present that there’s a positive relationship between ethical leadership and both dimensions of trust, and employees’ proactive work behaviors. Both affective and cognitive trust positively affect LMX, and they also serve as the mediator between ethical leadership and LMX. LMX is also recognized as a possible mediator between ethical leadership and employees’ proactive work behavior. However, the two moderation hypotheses are not supported, and the present research failed to bridge two-mediator mediations between the independent and dependent variable.
