Abstract Different from the explanation of the relationship between moral identity and individual behavior with the view of moral decision theory, this article examines the roles of leader-member exchange and team-member exchange as mediators between moral identity and task performance based on the perspective of interpersonal exchange relations. We also analyze self-efficacy as a moderator between leader-member exchange (Or team-member exchange) and task performance. By carrying out two surveys for 343 employees, the results show that leader-member exchange and team-member exchange partially mediate the relationship between moral identity and task performance. In addition, the relationship between leader-member exchange (Or team-member exchange) and task performance become stronger as employee’s self-efficacy growing from high to low. Furthermore, conditional indirect effect test demonstrate that the mediating effect of leader-member exchange (Or team-member exchange) on the moral identity-task performance linkage is significant only among employees with low levels of self-efficacy. Thus all hypotheses are supported.
