The Emotion-Evoked Collective Corruption Model: The Role of Emotion in the Spread of Corruption Within Organizations
提出一个集体腐败的过程模型，聚焦道德情绪如何通过直接招募和情绪传染两种途径，在组织中传播腐败行为，并区分了自我指向情绪（如内疚、羞耻）和他人指向情绪（如愤怒、轻蔑）的不同作用。
We draw from research on emotions and moral reasoning to develop a process model of collective corruption that centers on the role of moral emotions in the spread of corruption within organizations. Our focus on a well-intentioned and deliberative path to corruption is a departure from previous theory, which has focused on mindless and ill-intentioned paths. In our model, moral emotions play a critical role in both the initial recruitment of a target individual (the direct process), as well as the spread of corruption to a broader group of nontargeted individuals through emotional contagion (the vicarious process). For both processes we explain how self-directed moral emotions (guilt, shame, embarrassment, and pride) facilitate the spread of corruption and how other-directed moral emotions (anger and contempt) do not. We conclude by discussing the implications of our theory and directions for future research.
