Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group norms can create pressure to conform, and individuals may choose to engage in unethical behavior to gain acceptance or approval from the group. This can lead to a widespread acceptance of unethical practices, with individuals believing that everyone else is doing it, so it must be okay. While managers should take responsibility for promoting ethical behavior within their organizations, individual employees are ultimately responsible for their own actions.
