culture, with both bosses and employees guilty of misbehaving. As they

strive to meet the challenges of high key performance indicators,

executives and managers quite often push moral boundaries and encourage

subordinates to do the same. Common employee misdemeanours start with

petty pilfering or skiving off on the job and such behaviours can become

work group norms. However, the repercussions of making them clean up

their acts may be more costly than anticipated, suggests Stephen

Ackroyd, co-author of the book, Organisational Misbehaviour and a professor of organisational analysis at Lancaster University Management School in the UK.
