WHICH HAS MORE INFLUENCE ON WHETHER A
PERSON WILL ENGAGE IN UNETHICAL
CONDUCT?
A. Disposition: A persons moral character.B. Situation: Outside circumstances.

Situational v. Dispositional
Some studies have shown that situational
influences have more to do with a persons ethical
behavior than a persons character.
Under the right conditions good people can be
induced, seduced and initiated to act unethically.

11/26
Obedience to Authority
We are less likely to take part in unethical actionson our own than when requested by a supervisor.
We want to please authority: may lead us to carry out instructions
without thinking about the ethical implications
Supervisors rarely directly ask us to perform unethical activities, instead
they infer it based on incentives.
Rationalizations:
I want to be a team player, I want to be loyal.
I was just following orders.
8/11/2019 Edm Slides Public 2013 2
12/26
Conformity
We often take our cues from our reference group about the proper way
to act
We become acculturated to behavior and we assume that this behavior
is normal and acceptable
We conform our judgments to the judgments of our reference group
Rationalizations:
Everybody else does it, so it must be okay
Its how you succeed around here
8/11/2019 Edm Slides Public 2013 2
13/26
Incrementalism The Slippery Slope
Unethical behavior often occurs when we subconsciously lower ourstandards over time through small changes in our behavior
Rationalizations:
Just this one time
It doesnt really hurt anyone
Its not a big deal
8/11/2019 Edm Slides Public 2013 2
14/26
Group Think v. Independent Thinking
Being in a group lessens our individual feelingsof accountability and responsibility
Our moral doubts are assuaged by the groups concurrence
Rationalizations:
We are a good and wise group
This is the way it has always been done
8/11/2019 Edm Slides Public 2013 2
15/26
Overconfidence
We tend to believe that we are more honest and
fair-minded than our peers and competitors
This often leads us to make decisions that
have ethical implications without engaging in
serious reflection
Rationalization:
I am more ethical than they are, it wont happen to me
8/11/2019 Edm Slides Public 2013 2
16/26
Framing
Objectives are often framed to focus on one factor (AUM, bonuses,stock price)
We often overlook or justify behavior if it leads to
the achievement of that goal or objective
Rationalizations:
That is the way they do it at Firm X, so it
must be okay
If we do not do it, someone else will
Smart people created the incentive structure,Im just responding to it

You are the assistant to a senior portfolio manager at the firm responsible for
submitting the managers expense reports. Because the manager often doesnot have receipts for minor expenses such as meals and cab fare, you have
learned to override the accounting system when he submits the reports. The
manager recently returned from a trip without receipts for larger expenses.
When you inquire about the receipts, the manager tells you he lost the receipts
and to just override the system like you usually do. You should:
