This bias can distort judgment, leading to inaccurate assessments of success, failure,...

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Economics
  • Organizational Psychology
  • Ethics

Background:

  • Corruption poses significant risks to organizations and society.
  • Understanding individual-level factors influencing corrupt behavior is crucial for prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of moral commitment, specifically integrity endorsement and Honesty-Humility, in deterring corrupt behavior.
  • To examine whether individuals prioritize integrity over financial gains when faced with corrupt opportunities.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step laboratory experiment was conducted to simulate corrupt scenarios.
  • Participants' willingness to accept bribes and engage in bribe-giving was measured.
  • The study controlled for demographic variables and personal characteristics like risk tolerance and greed.

Main Results:

  • Individuals who view integrity as a protected value were less willing to accept bribes.
  • Higher levels of Honesty-Humility were associated with a decreased propensity for bribe-giving.
  • These findings remained robust across various demographic and personal characteristic controls.

Conclusions:

  • Moral commitment, operationalized as integrity endorsement and Honesty-Humility, significantly deters corrupt behavior.
  • Individuals can forgo financial incentives when their moral values, particularly integrity, are challenged.
  • Findings offer valuable insights for theory development and practical strategies to combat organizational corruption.
