How Groups Encourage Misbehavior explores the psychological and
social processes by which groups develop a tolerance for and even
encourage misbehavior. Drawing from decades of research on social,
cognitive and organizational psychology, as well as a deep well of
historical research, this book shows how commitment to groups,
organizations and movements can turn moral individuals into amoral
agents. Pulling together what have been traditionally distinct
areas of study, How Groups Encourage Misbehavior provides a
detailed and unified account of how good organizations go bad and
how groups of all types can push otherwise honest and upright
individuals to behave in ways that violate laws and social norms.
This text describes how social norms, rationalization, the
characteristics of formal and informal groups, attachment to groups
and organizations, and the structure of organizational life can all
contribute to misbehavior. Each chapter includes one or more
sidebar discussions of relevant and interesting examples to
illustrate the ways groups and organizations encourage and support
misbehavior. The final two chapters discuss how many of these same
attributes and processes can be used to encourage positive
behaviors and foster recovery from dysfunctional and corrupt
cultures and modes of behavior. A valuable text for a broad range
of psychology courses, How Groups Encourage Misbehavior will
especially appeal to practitioners, scholars, and students
interested in ethics in organizations and the intersection between
social psychology and organizational behavior.
