Abstract
Social undermining has been considered as one of the negative outcomes of
social life that imposes huge costs on both organizations and society.
Mangers should be aware of all dimensions and outcomes of this
phenomenon in order to reduce its negative interactions.
The purpose of this paper was recognizing of social undermining model,
and establishing social consciousness in employers and employees.
According to fairness theory, a conceptual model was developed, which
examined the relations between independent variable (social undermining)
and dependent variable (employee outcomes) as well as the relations of
these variables with mediate variables (justice perception) and the
consideration of moderate variables (cultural values and some functions of
human resource management) in two Iranian organizations by path analysis
and subgroup methods . The obtained results using the social undermining
model confirmed the function of mediate variable (justice perception ) and
moderate variable of some functions of human resource management but
denied the function of moderate variable of cultural values (power distance ).
