The basics in brief
- The researchers examined the misconduct of several bankers.
- The result: They lie far more in the office than in the home office.
How honest are the bankers? A question that researchers from Great Britain have been investigating. The result surprises.
162 misconduct was analyzed by stock traders from five major banks over the course of a year. And it turns out that the workplace is especially important. Not this bank, but the banker himself.
If they work in an office, they often act unethically.
The probability of misconduct in the office was 38 percent, and only 8 percent in the home office.
Unethical behavior is contagious
The research team cites the fact that unethical behavior is contagious as an excuse. This means that if you remove a banker from his unethical colleagues, he will also act in a less unethical way.
Do you trust your bank?
Therefore, the researchers advise banks to allow their employees to work from home as much as possible. In turn, she advises clients to find out where their banker works – in the office or in the home office?
