“…There is also a paucity of empirical comparative research comparing organizational values in for-profit and not-for profit organizations (Van Der Wal et al, 2006); extant research calls for more work to explore the contextual and environmental factors that shape organizational values (Van Der Wal and Huberts, 2008).…”

The government purchasing market constitutes the largest business sector in the world. While marketers would benefit from a deep understanding of both sectors, how the two sectors differ in terms of ethics and strategy largely remains unknown. The purpose of this research, therefore, is to explore differences between the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors on two critical aspects of business-to-business procurement, ethics and strategy. Using survey data from a sample of 328 procurement professionals in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors, key differences are explored. Findings suggest that buyers in the for-profit sector are more likely to behave opportunistically. Conversely, the buyers' leaders in the not-for-profit sector behave more opportunistically and are more willing to turn a blind eye to their subordinate buyers' opportunistic behaviors. Additionally, key differences in procurement strategy are unveiled suggesting that not-for-profit procurement practices have some room for improvement. Based on the findings, theoretical and managerial implications are drawn, and a future research agenda is proposed.

“…An assistant manager in human resources remarked: "He was number one on my list of those I expected to go." This behavior links to a study on corruption in public organizations (van der Wal, de Graaf, & Lasthuizen, 2008) that has concluded: "In most organizations, signals of something 'irregular' surfaced before the corruption case was discovered." Turner's classical theory on organizational disasters claims that most are preceded by an "incubation period" in which there are incidents and signs of irregularities that are not always adequately responded to (Turner & Pidgeon, 1997).…”

This article explores the nature of integrity violations in Dutch casinos. In such organizations, risk may be minimized, but it cannot be eliminated. Casinos, therefore, have a clear interest in constantly seeking to improve their safety standards and cultures. This article empirically analyzes the nature of documented integrity violations in Dutch casinos during the period 2001 to 2006. Of the 78 employee contracts that were terminated because of integrity violations, the files of 13 employees of the table games division were researched in depth. Our analysis of the sample led to a set of propositions regarding the nature of integrity violations in Dutch casinos. Money changes everything. -Cindy Lauper

The aim of this study is to desing a construct of public accountability concept that is independent of lifeworld colonization brought by the concept of New Public ABSTRAKStudi ini bertujuan menghasilkan konstruksi konsep akuntabilitas publik yang bebas dari kolonisasi lifeworld yang dibawa oleh konsep New Public Management. Studi ini menekankan analisisnya pada bentuk akuntabilitas yang berorientasi proses dan yang membebaskan komunikasi publik. Studi ini akan membuka wacana pertanggungjawaban atas proses yang tidak sebatas penyajian informasi akan tetapi lebih dari itu, sebagai sebuah pertanggungjawaban moral para pelaksana pemerintahan. Dalam penelitian ini, saya mendekati masalah yang ada melalui kacamata perspektif kritis Habermas. Melalui pendekatan Habermas, saya ingin memahami kolonisasi lifeworld akuntabilitas yang terjadi dalam masyarakat. Berkaitan dengan masalah akuntabilitas anggaran, ruang diskusi publik merupakan hal utama yang menjadi pokok permasalahan. Temuan studi ini ialah bahwa akuntabilitas, dilihat dari kualitas pelaksanaan pelayanan, telah terkikis maknanya. Artinya, pihak pemberi layanan belum dapat mempertanggungjawabkan pelayanan yang dilakukannya dengan baik, seperti berusaha menghasilkan kualitas pelayanan sesuai dengan keinginan masyarakat. Karenanya, proses pertanggungjawaban yang dimiliki masih butuh pembenahan, agar aparatur pemberi layanan dapat memiliki tanggung jawab publik ketika memberikan pelayanan kepada masyarakat. Akuntabilitas publik atas pelayanan nampak mengabaikan ruang dikusi publik yang membuat kesetaraan dalam menentukan apa yang dibutuhkan dan apa yang diberikan pada masyarakat.Kata kunci: akuntansi, akuntabilitas, sektor publik, anggaran, habermas.
