What motivates integrity violations? Insights from Behavioral and Administrative Science
Kristina S. Weißmüller was invited to present her research insights as an expert at Transparency International Switzerland's Anti-Corruption Practitioners' Circle, 4 November 2022. Transparency International Switzerland, Bern, Switzerland.
Organizational corruption is one of the most pressing unresolved issues of leadership and management. This talk presents insights from research on the psychological and contextual mechanisms !hat allow individuals to rationalize integrity violations. The results of 344 studies worldwide show that four important clusters of factors effectively weaken organizations' cultural integrity: political influence, institutional characteristics, co-worker behavior, and employee motives and characteristics. As a remedy, this talk also highlights factors that help create and strengthen an organizational culture of integrity. lt discusses the effectiveness of distinct anti corruption strategies (grass-root vs. bottom-up) to inform the practice of integrity management, human resource policy, and leadership practice of integrity.
