“…In a similar vein, leaders who transgress social norms may be conferred the right to deviate -A phenomenon Abrams et al (2013) labelled 'transgression credit' (see also Abrams et al, 2014;cf. also Karelaia & Keck, 2013;Shapiro, Boss, Salas, Tangirala, & Von Glinow, 2011;Sutton & Jordan, 2013). For instance, two studies by Randsley de Moura and demonstrated that individuals tend to apply a double standard when they assessed transgressive leaders.…”

A group may be badly affected if its leader transgresses important rules. Nonetheless, an emerging body of evidence suggests that in intergroup contexts, group members apply a double standard when judging ingroup leaders - They respond less punitively to transgressions by their leader than by non-leaders. In this article, two experiments investigated how proportionate ingroup size affects reactions to transgressive ingroup leaders. We demonstrate that ingroup leaders from larger, but not smaller, groups benefit from the double standard. The experiments testing the effects of two different types of transgressions (nepotistic favouritism and corruption, respectively) show that transgressive leaders from larger groups are evaluated more positively than both comparable non-leaders and leaders from smaller groups. In contrast, transgressive leaders from smaller groups are evaluated similarly to comparable transgressive non-leaders. Experiment 2 investigated a potential explanation for this phenomenon. Faced with a transgressive leader, members of a smaller group report greater embarrassment than do members of larger groups in relation to the leaders' actions. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.

“…the 2008 banking crisis). Nevertheless, individuals may tolerate questionable leaders (Shapiro, Boss, Salas, Tangirala, & Von Glinow, 2011) or their transgressions from general rules of conduct (Karelaia & Keck, 2013;Sutton & Jordan, 2013). Indeed, group leaders who deviate from norms may be tolerated more than deviant members.…”

A step too far? Leader racism inhibits transgression credit

Prior research established that when in-group leaders commit serious transgressions, such as breaking enforceable rules or engaging in bribery, people treat them leniently compared with similarly transgressive regular group members or out-group leaders ('transgression credit'). The present studies test a boundary condition of this phenomenon, specifically the hypothesis that transgression credit will be lost if a leader's action implies racist motivation. In study 1, in a corporate scenario, a transgressive in-group leader did or did not express racism. In study 2, in a sports scenario, an in-group or out-group leader or member transgressed rules with or without a racist connotation. Both studies showed that in-group transgressive leaders lost their transgression credit if their transgression included a racial connotation. Wider implications for constraining leaders' transgressions are discussed.
