Why do Employees Steal?
研究利用两家由同一保险公司管理的医疗机构数据，发现审计发现的员工盗窃与组织道德工作氛围显著相关，道德氛围好的机构无盗窃行为，并探讨了宏观与微观组织影响。
In a rare opportunity, the authors gathered data from two matched health care providers managed by an insurance company where auditors had discovered theft by employees in one of the matched organizations. Data were gathered about the organizations' ethical work climates (EWCs). Analysis revealed statistically significant differences in EWCs across the two organizations. As predicted, the organization with the morally preferred EWCs did not have theft. Both macro- and micro-organizational influences are explored to explain these differences, along with implications for practitioners and academic research. This is the first study to suggest that a priori EWCs can be useful in predicting observable behavior.
