Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the pressure to succeed is so intense, individuals may be tempted to make unethical decisions in order to achieve success or avoid punishment for failure. This can create a culture of unethical behavior within the organization, even if there are no inherently unethical individuals present. Therefore, organizations can become "bad barrels" because of the pressures that incentivize unethical behavior.
