Abstract：Drawing on cognitive appraisal theory of emotion, we put forth that performance pressure suffered by employees can lead to UPB（unethical pro-organizational behavior）.By a two-wave field data of 426 employees, we find that (1)performance pressure has a significant positive effect on UPB;(2)performance pressure is indirectly related to UPB through workplace anxiety;(3)conscientiousness positively moderates the relationship between performance pressure and workplace anxiety, and then moderates the indirect effect of performance pressure on employee UPB via workplace anxiety.Employees with higher consciousness are more likely to experience workplace anxiety when being faced with performance pressure,and thus engage in UPB.
