Survey: Unethical Corporate Behavior Stems From Unrealistic Objectives and Deadlines

First of all, the fact that this even warranted study is a heck of a condemnation of the corporate world. That, in itself, bothers me.

On a grander scale, this is also a condemnation (or perhaps a revelation) of our human natures: many of us will cheat to get things done, given the opportunity and a bit of motive (which could be as simple as saving a bit of time or inconvenience). It’s sad, but true.

Anyway… it’s interesting to note that of all the ways corporations combat this behavior, the method that ties directly to the #1 cause is missing: have realistic objectives and deadlines.

I wonder if it ever even crossed their minds.
