Celem opracowania jest analiza związków między kompetencyjnym wyposażeniem jednostki (kompetencja moralna i samokierowanie) a nieetycznymi zachowaniami pracowników. W artykule wskazano na teoretyczne przesłanki sugerujące, że poziom kompetencji moralnej i umiejętności samokierowania mogą stanowić ważny czynnik ograniczający przejawianie przez pracowników nieetycznych praktyk. W celu weryfikacji tych zależności przeprowadzono badania empiryczne na 206 pracownikach. Uzyskane wyniki ukazują, że osoby posiadające rozwiniętą kompetencję moralną rzadziej postępują nieetycznie (r=-0,380, p<0,01), natomiast samokierowanie nie koreluje z tym rodzajem zachowań (r=-0,023). W artykule wskazano również na praktyczne implikacje otrzymanych wyników i przyszłe perspektywy badawcze.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze connections between individual competencies (moral competence, self-leadership) and employees' unethical behavior. The article points to theoretical premises which suggest that the level of moral competence and self- leadership can be an important factor, which limits manifestation of employees' unethical practices. In order to verify these dependencies empirical research was conducted on a sample of 206 people. The results show that people with higher moral competence show less unethical behavior (r=-0,380; p p<0,01) but self-leadership does not correlate with this type of behavior (r=-0.023). The article also shows the practical implications of the results and future research perspectives.
