The Influence of Collegiate and Corporate Codes of Conduct on Ethics-Related Behavior in the Workplace
研究调查了大学荣誉准则和公司道德规范对职场不道德行为的影响，发现公司行为准则能降低不道德行为，且大学荣誉准则与公司准则实施强度有交互作用。
Codes of conduct are viewed here as a community's attempt to communicate its expectations and standards of ethical behavior. Many organizations are implementing codes, but empirical support for the relationship between such codes and employee conduct is lacking. We investigated the long term effects of a collegiate honor code experience as well as the effects of corporate ethics codes on unethical behavior in the workplace by surveying alumni from an honor code and a non-honor code college who now work in business. We found that self-reported unethical behavior was lower for respondents who work in an organization with a corporate code of conduct and was inversely associated with corporate code implementation strength and embeddedness. Self-reported unethical behavior was also influenced by the interaction of a collegiate honor code experience and corporate code implementation strength.
