In the last 10 to 15 years, an alarming number of high profile cases of immoral conduct work ethics have reached national headlines. These events were associated with tragic consequences: many people have lost their jobs and health insurance and pensions which depended associated, investors lost their savings and confidence in the business world that is so essential for a prosperous economy has been desecrated. Experts have proposed a simple explanation for these events (eg, greed) and simple solutions (eg, punish offenders). In this article, I draw attention to a trigger of conduct contrary to the work ethic that has received less attention than is warranted factor: the pressure to behave unethically (SEBS) perpetrated by the authorities of the organization. Many cases where employees violate ethical standards reflect acquiescence to corporate pressure. Here I present a comprehensive strategy to reduce the frequency with which administrators perform acts of SEB. My approach is based on a framework of the recent influence of objective motivate managers to make PBU, and its ability to achieve personal and organizational goals without resorting to SEB.
