Enforcements, Inducements, Expected Utility and Employee Misconduct
结合代理理论和组织理论，通过实证研究考察强制和诱导因素对员工不当行为估计的影响，发现两者均显著相关，但其他因素如伦理、成本或风险也可能起作用。
Both agency theory and organization theory have considered the problem of employee misconduct -employee decisions to pursue selfinterest at the expense of their principal or employer Integrating these two theoretical perspectives, this article describes the empirical results of a study that examines the effects of inducements and enforcements on individuals' estimates that employee misconduct would occur The effects of these factors were considered within a context where the expected value of engaging in misconduct was positive. Although inducements and enforcements were both significantly related to estimates of misconduct, the rationales providedfor instances of employee misconduct suggest that otherfactors, such as ethical, cost, or risk considerations, may also affect estimates that employees will engage in misconduct.
