My talk will consist of two parts. First, I will present recent research examining the contagion of unethical behavior in organizations. While prior literature has largely assumed a uniform contagion pattern across unethical behaviors, our work distinguishes between self-interested unethical behavior (SUB) and unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). Drawing from social learning and social exchange theories, we propose that employees are more likely to emulate UPB—given its prosocial framing—than SUB, due to heightened conformity pressure. Furthermore, we theorize that this dynamic is moderated by relational mobility climate, defined as employees’ perceptions of their ability to exit existing workplace relationships and form new ones. Specifically, when perceived relational mobility is low, the influence of coworkers’ UPB on individual UPB—via conformity pressure—is amplified. In contrast, relational mobility climate does not significantly moderate the spread of SUB. Our findings, supported by both field and experimental studies, underscore the role of conformity pressure and relational mobility as key mechanisms and contextual factors in unethical behavior contagion. In the second part of the talk, I will introduce the Dispute Resolution Research Center (DRRC) at Northwestern University. As Executive Director, I will highlight the center’s mission, educational resources, and opportunities for collaboration in negotiation pedagogy and research development.
