“…This assessment is useful for predicting when Guilt-NBE (Negative Behavior Evaluation) will reach a low point (thereby needing more intensive guilt inductions, e.g. through rule setting, clarifying responsibility, clarifying consequences, and increasing 'victim-worth'; Gorta, 1998) based on certain breach levels. Practically, the assessment can be done through a computer-based or online psychological contract inventory.…”

Amid controversy over plurality and contestation of the meanings of corruption, previous reviews and studies showed that proneness to moral emotions, i.e. shame and guilt, can predict one's corruption behavior. To give a theoretical basis for the efforts of preventing corruption that is thick with emotional nuance, this present study employs disruption to psychological contract, i.e. psychological contract breach (PCB), as a predictor of moral emotions proneness. The study involving 265 employees (169 males, 96 females; M age ¼ 32.32 years old; SD age ¼ 7.28 years) of four big private banks in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, shows that PCB-with noting that, in this study, its scale operational scoring represents, reversely, the contract fulfillment-can predict Guilt-negative behavior evaluation (Guilt-NBE), Guilt-repair (Guilt-REP), and Shame-negative self-evaluation (Shame-NSE); all in negative directions, proved via simple linear regression analyses. Further analysis showed a more dynamic relationship between PCB and Guilt-NBE that fits to a cubic regression model. This study contributes to the axiological aspect of business psychology, especially in the ethical psychology of banking industry.

This study focuses on the role of corruption in facilitating the illegal wildlife trade. This research attempts to contribute to the literature by disentangling the existence, influence and nested nature of corruption within the illegal wildlife trade based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in China, Morocco, Russia and Uganda. By utilizing Passas' concepts of symbiotic and antithetical relationships as theoretical framework, we examine the presence of corruption within illegal wildlife trafficking. Our findings lend support for, and extend the framework with the concept of legal exploitation, while highlighting the unique nature of corrupt practices influenced by different socio-political and cultural settings. Symbiotic and antithetical relationships were revealed through qualitative fieldwork and provided in-depth knowledge behind the social world of wildlife trafficking.

“…A number of scholars (Benson and Madensen, 2007;Button and Gee, 2013;Gorta, 1998;Graycar and Prenzler, 2013, p71) have proposed using an alternative conceptual framework for the analysis and prevention of occupational corruption: the situational crime prevention theory developed by Clarke (1995Clarke ( , 1997Clarke ( , 2008. Situational crime prevention has already found application in a range of crimes including terrorism (Clarke and Newman, 2006), sex offending (Wortley and Smallbone, 2006), organised crime (Bullock, Clarke and Tilley, 2010) and e-commerce (Newman and Clarke, 2003).…”

Corruption of all types including occupational corruption causes immense damage to society. Though a number of guides have been published which offer prevention advice, there is very little original criminological research which connects theory to best practice. This paper demonstrates that Clarke's situational crime prevention framework provides a mechanism for operatively analysing specific situations to design and implement prevention methods. The study analyses a variety of techniques, based upon a survey and interviews with counter-corruption professionals, to offers insights into their utilisation and effectiveness. To achieve meaningful implementation of the techniques, countercorruption managers need the delegated power and support of the executive leadership.
