Instances of wrongdoing in and by organizations have featured
heavily in news headlines in recent years. Why do organizational
participants - employees, managers, senior officials - engage in
illegal, unethical, and socially irresponsible behavior? The
dominant view of wrongdoing as an abnormal phenomenon assumes that
the perpetrator is a rational, proactive actor, working in
isolation. However, Palmer develops an alternative approach in this
book examining wrongdoing as a normal occurrence, produced by
actors with no positive inclinations to engage in this practice,
but whose behaviour is shaped by the immediate social context over
a period of time. The book provides a comprehensive critical review
of the theory and research on organizational wrongdoing. By using
rich case study material, it illuminates different perspectives,
potential explanations, policy implications, and suggestions for
the way forward for the improvement of organizational efficiency
and effectiveness.
Organizational Wrongdoing is an essential companion to
understanding the causes, processes and consequences of misconduct
at work. With contributions from some of the world's leading
management theorists, past theories on misconduct are critically
evaluated, and the latest research is introduced, expanding the
boundaries of our knowledge and filling in gaps highlighted in
previous studies. A wide range of unethical, socially
irresponsible, and illegal behaviors are discussed, including
cheating, hyper-competitive employee actions, and financial fraud.
Further multiple levels of analysis are considered, ranging from
individual to organization-wide processes. By providing a
contemporary overview of wrongdoing and misconduct, this book
provides solid and accessible foundations for established
researchers and advanced students in the fields of behavioral
ethics and organizational behavior.

This Element describes child sexual abuse and the formal
organizations in which it can occur, reviews extant perspectives on
child abuse, and explains how an organization theory approach can
advance understanding of this phenomenon. It then elaborates the
main paths through which organizational structures can influence
child sexual abuse in organizations and analyze how these
structures operate through these paths to impact the perpetration,
detection, and response to abuse. The analysis is illustrated
throughout with reports of child sexual abuse published in a
variety of sources. The Element concludes with a brief discussion
of the policy implications of this analysis.

illuminates different perspectives, potential explanations, and
