Abstract:

This article examines an organizational process approach to preventing white collar crime and facilitating ethical behavior within an organization. The usual assumption is that individuals alone are responsible for misconduct, either illegal or unethical (Agency Theory). Structural Theory posits that organizational behavior factors account for much misconduct. Accordingly, four organizational processes are examined; leadership, membership, structure and culture. From the perspective of each of the processes, the article finds how they can contribute to misconduct and can, alternatively, facilitate more ethical conduct.
