Corruption, Morality, OrganizationsAbstract
When corruption is contextualized in the daily work of organisations
the ethical focus may be on the use of morality to transmit ideas about what is acceptable or not. The typical approach may be that of communicating values from leadership (which indeed happens more rarely). A second approach may be dealing with moral standards in the everyday patterns of socialization within and out of the
organisation. Finally, the final focus concerns the problematizing of moral claims in social contexts in which corruption is a daily issue. Here, instead of delegating culture as the explanation for the resiliency of corruption, it may be fruitful to gather more empirical evidence on how moral standards become poisoned in social contexts.
