Abstract: | While public (or government) corruption has attracted a lot of attention, private (or business) corruption has been relatively
under-addressed. A specific form of corruption, namely, paying a bribe to a public official, is easily identifiable as unethical
and possibly illegal, but this is not clear in a private business context. Yet private bribery also has serious organizational
consequences. This exploratory study suggests that individuals have difficulty in recognizing the ethical connotations of
potential bribery, and draws attention to the need to build skills in this regard.
