Abstract
The study aims to examine the effect of idiosyncratic business deals on unethical organizational behaviors in the drug manufacturing industry of Pakistan. The data was collected from 308 managers in the pharmaceutical services sector and exposed to regression and structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings, which are based on social exchange theory, confirm that task (TID), schedule (SID), location (LID), and financial (FID) idiosyncratic deals are all significantly positive predictors of unethical pro-organizational behaviors. The study adds to I-deals literature and has numerous practical implications. The executives should know that UPB exist and they should be the cognizant of the predictors of UPB as a way to diminish prevailing UPB. The study is important in the sense as it demonstrates that all four dimensions of I-deals will be likely to translate into UPB. The study has social implications as it is executed in pharmaceutical services sectors. The pharmaceutical firms are supposed to convey the correct and genuine information to doctors in the best interest of patients. The implications for human resource managers, as well as future directions and limitations, are also discussed
