For colleagues in Business Schools, the British Journal of Social Psychology was recently ranked as a 3* journal in the AJG2024 list, so it's a fantastic place to publish research on organisational and other relevant social processes.

President Carter even once indulged me in some banter about Scottish football which still makes me chuckle.
They were remarkable people, and I was proud to work with and know them.

Sometimes these would be at offical events, but often they would stop for a chat and a joke in the corridor or by the coffee machine. They were very warm people, and were interested in both the work and the backgrounds of their interns.

The work was fascinating, energising, and it was a privilege to work with a collection of such diverse and interesting people. One of the highlights of working at @TheCarterCenter were the regular interactions with both Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.

Both internships focussed on the first free and fair Presidential elections in Liberia. I also had the opportunity to have an hour-long meeting with him as part of the Bobby Jones Scholarship.

The article stars with a quote on "pack mentality". Describing complex human behaviour as animalistic isn’t helpful for explaining behaviour or offering solutions for effective management. Only by recognising how group actions reflect shared identities/norms can we understand collective behaviour.

Apologies, the wrong logos were posted for Study 3. Here are the two correct logos for the two experimental conditions:

The findings provide support for an engaged onlookership model of corruption which posits that onlookers are more likely to endorse morally problematic behaviour when they believe it is performed by, and in the interests of, an organisation with which they identify.

There were main effects of the identification manipulation (high/low) on condoning corporate corruption, willingness to join a company loyalty scheme, purchase intentions. There were also indirect effects on number of items "purchased" and "liked".

Pts entered the STITCHES' "online shop" in which they selected (AI-generated) items which they would consider buying and "liking" on social media.

Pts were next told that the company provided expensive hospitality to councillors considering their planning application in order to achieve their goals.

In Study 3, we used a fictituous company: STITCHES. Participants were selected due to their strong concern for the environment. Identification was manipulated by presenting STITCHES either as a company with strong environmental credentials (high ID), or this info wasn't given (neutral ID).

In Study 2, we manipulated identification with VW, such that the experimental manipulation increased company identification, which in turn predicted condoning the corporate corruption.
comment in response to
post
In Study 1, pts read about either the VW or WorldCom scandals. Identification with these companies, and identification with the monitoring agencies who uncovered the scandals, had opposing relationships with condoning the corruption.

"Engaged onlooking" comes from engaged followership, but goes beyond an org's members to consider the role of outside observers. We argue that corruption may be excused/embraced not due to a loss in identity or morality, but through identification which aligns harmful behaviours with a greater good.
