Values oriented approaches shift people s preferences to be moral whereas structure oriented approaches seek to design incentives decisions and tasks such that the unethical option is less tempting. Based on theory and empirical findings the authors propose that adopting both values oriented and structure oriented approaches mitigates the risk of adverse effects from one strategy taken from a single approach. Key concepts include This paper discusses the power of subtle changes and shows how they can point our moral compass toward a more ethical direction.

The distinction the authors draw between values oriented and structure oriented approaches demonstrates that there is no one right approach to reduce unethical behavior in organizations and society more broadly. The Chinese Overseas America Number Data prescriptions based on ethics research discussed here are grounded in economic and psychological models of unethical behavior. partly in response to calls from organizations to understand and solve unethical behavior. Departing from prior work that has mainly focused on examining the antecedents and consequences of dishonesty we examine two approaches to mitigating unethical behavior values oriented approaches that broadly appeal to individuals preferences to be more moral and structure oriented approaches that redesign specific incentives tasks and decisions to reduce temptations to cheat in the environment. This paper explores how these approaches can change behavior.





We argue that integrating both approaches while avoiding incompatible strategies can reduce the risk of adverse effects that arise from taking a single approach.
