Abstract Moral disengagement and punishment perception are the separating and bounding mechanisms in the ethical decision-making of the manager. This study investigated the influence of moral disengagement and punishment perception on the manager's ethical decision-making with the adjustment of an inter-mediating model, compared the differences in the manager's ethical judgment and ethical behavioral intention on the issue of organization-gain and organization-harm. The result showed that moral disengagement was an important antecedent variable in ethical judgment. Punishment perception and ethical judgment were both predicators of the manager's ethical behavioral intention, and the interaction item between punishment perception and ethical judgment have negative effects on the ethical behavioral intention. Furthermore, the manager's ethical judgment and behavioral intention are both lower under organization-gain situations than organization-harm's. Results of this study will contribute to understanding the psychological processes and mechanisms of the manager's ethical decision-making.
