Abstract

In the contemporary business landscape, ethical and legal responsibilities play pivotal roles in shaping organisational performance. This research delves into the influence of ethical and legal responsibilities on organisational performance from the perspective of employees in Malaysia. Moreover, it explores the mediating role of rational decision-making styles in this relationship. A total of 233 data were collected who working in Malaysian for the purpose of answering the three research objectives. It seeks to investigate the mediating effect of rational decision-making styles on this relationship. By elucidating these dynamics, the research aims to contribute to the understanding of organisational behaviour within the Malaysian context and provide insights for organisational leaders and policymakers. The collected data was further analysed using statistical tools of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Partial Least Squares Path Modelling Method with Smart-PLS. The findings of this study reveal significant associations between ethical and legal responsibilities and organisational performance from the viewpoint of Malaysian employees. Moreover, rational decision-making styles are found to mediate this relationship, indicating that the adoption of rational decision-making approaches can enhance the translation of ethical and legal responsibilities into improved organisational performance. These findings underscore the importance of promoting ethical conduct and adherence to legal obligations in fostering organisational success, while also highlighting the role of rational decision-making in optimizing the impact of ethical and legal responsibilities on organisational performance outcomes.
