Abstract Moral courage refers to the courage or inner strength that an individual has when acting in accordance with moral principles and his/her own beliefs and values even if he/she takes the risk of bringing negative consequences to himself/herself in a moral conflict. Based on the review of previous researches, this study clarifies the definition, measurement, theoretical perspectives, and antecedents (individual and contextual factors) and consequences (intra- and inter-person consequences) of moral courage in the workplace. On this basis, the article points out that an integrated theoretical framework of moral courage should be proposed in the future, the unique connotation of moral courage in Chinese context should be explored, the factors that promote the transformation of moral courage into moral courage behavior should be explored, and the influences of moral courage on interpersonal interactions.
