This study explored the relationship between psychological contract breach and ethical decisionmaking intention. Previous studies analyzed the relation mainly from the Western cultural perspective, thus leaving the Eastern context. In this regard, the present study examined the cross-level moderating effect of ethical climate on variables at the individual level. Forty state-owned and private companies participated in the study. The findings suggest that organizational ethical climate is not a significant moderator of the relation between individual psychological contract breach and ethical decision-making intention. On the contrary, the findings indicated that individual psychological contract breach and organizational ethical climate significantly influence the ethical decision-making intention of employees.
