Pundits have offered straightforward explanations for all these occasions (e.g., greed) and equally easy options (e.g., penalize the wrongdoers). In this specific article, I bring attention to a cause of unethical work behavior which has received less attention than is justified: pressure to act unethically (PBU) perpetrated by organizational authorities.
Many cases in which ethical standards are violated by workers represent acquiescence to managerial pressure. I introduce an all-inclusive method of lessen the frequency with which supervisors perform actions of PBU. My strategy draws on a recent effect framework to target managers' motivation and capability to attain organizational and personal goals without resorting to PBU.
