Abstract: | Putting measures in place to prevent wrongdoing in organizations is important, but detecting and correcting wrongdoing are
also vital. Employees who detect wrongdoing should, therefore, be encouraged to respond in a manner that supports corrective
action. This article examines the influence of the ethical culture of organizations on employee responses to observed wrongdoing.
Different dimensions of ethical culture are related to different types of intended responses. The findings show that several
dimensions of ethical culture were negatively related to intended inaction and external whistleblowing and positively related
to intended confrontation, reporting to management, and calling an ethics hotline. |
