Governance Failure and Governance Under Failure: Reviewing the Role of Directors in Organizational Misconduct
这篇综述整合了过去17年110多篇关于董事在组织不当行为中角色的研究,涵盖管理、会计、营销等多个领域,为理解公司治理与不当行为的相互影响提供了统一框架,适合战略、伦理、决策和领导力领域的研究者参考。
Research on organizational misconduct has mostly evolved independently from the literature on corporate governance. Yet, our survey of research on the role of directors in organizational misconduct contexts yielded more than 110 articles in the last 17 years across the management, accounting, marketing, operations, public relations, and finance literatures, showing that research on the role of corporate governance in organizational misconduct has increasingly become a distinct domain of inquiry. With its own scholarly audience, including scholars working in strategy, ethics, decision-making, and leadership, this research has employed diverse theories and investigated different antecedents, reactions, and outcomes. It has also focused on how directors both influence and are affected by organizational misconduct. Consequently, this literature is currently fragmented in several respects. Our aim in this review is to generate conceptual integration that brings coherence to this growing body of research and to facilitate future research in this important domain. The review offers a cohesive view of the effects of corporate governance on misconduct and of misconduct on corporate governance and provides frameworks for integrating the disparate macrolevel theories that currently characterize this work.
