Six years after high-profile corporate scandals rocked American
business, there has been little if any meaningful reduction in the
enterprise-wide risk of unethical behavior at U.S. companies,
according to the Ethics Resource Center's 2007 National Business
Ethics Survey(R). ERC is a private, nonprofit organization whose
research and advocacy focus on the advancement of high ethical
standards and practices in public and private institutions.
Interviews with almost 2,000 employees at U.S. public and private
companies of all sizes for the biennial NBES(R) show disturbing shares
of workers witnessing ethical misconduct at work – and tending not to
report what they see. Conflicts of interest, abusive behavior and
lying pose the most severe ethics risks to companies today.
