Organizational Wrongdoing : Key Perspectives and New Directions

Organizational Wrongdoing is an essential companion to understanding the causes, processes and consequences of misconduct at work.With contributions from some of the world's leading management theorists, past theories on misconduct are critically evaluated, and the latest research is introduced, expanding the boundaries of our knowledge and filling in gaps highlighted in previous studies.A wide range of unethical, socially irresponsible, and illegal behaviors are discussed, including cheating, hyper-competitive employee actions, and financial fraud.Further multiple levels of analysis are considered, ranging from individual to organization-wide processes.By providing a contemporary overview of wrongdoing and misconduct, this book provides solid and accessible foundations for established researchers and advanced students in the fields of behavioral ethics and organizational behavior.
