• Status Differentiation and the Protean Self: A Social-Cognitive Model of Unethical Behavior in Organizations (2011, background): “The concept of moral identity has been discussed by developmental psychologists for some time, but it has only recently been applied to organizational contexts (e.g., Aquino and Freeman, 2009; Weaver, 2006; Reynolds and Ceranic, 2007; see review by Shao et al., 2008).”
• Who engages with moral beauty? (2013, background): “Aquino et al. (2011) also demonstrated that moral identity predicts prosocial behavior, and Shao, Aquino, and Freeman (2008) have reviewed evidence that moral behavior is consistently determined by moral identity.”
• Testing a social-cognitive model of moral behavior: the interactive influence of situations and moral identity centrality. (2009, background): “Because exemplary actions may be witnessed in social settings or business contexts (Shao et al., 2008), the examination of this type of moral prime may substantially advance present understandings of everyday moral functioning.”
• Procedural Justice and Employee Engagement: Roles of Organizational Identification and Moral Identity Centrality (2013, background): “MI is also an important employee identity that impacts employee behavior (e.g., McFerran et al. 2010; Shao et al. 2008; Skarlicki et al. 2008; Treviño et al. 2006; Weaver 2006).”
• Organizational justice: New insights from behavioural ethics (2013, background): “Another individual level contribution of behavioural ethics concerns work on moral identity (Shao et al., 2008).”
