We will also discuss the issues of organizational misconduct and corporate ethics. Both the employee and organization will be the subjects of our analysis. The course is aimed at providing an understanding and analysis of deviant behaviours, corporate wrongdoing and organizational ethics.
\r\nSome of the questions this course attempts to address include: (i) why do people engage in deviant/unethical behaviours; (ii) why do organizations engage in deviant/unethical behaviours; (iii) do men and women engage in similar deviant/unethical activities; (iv) the role of corporate practices in preventing these behaviors. Various theories of crimes and sociological perspectives on deviant behaviours will be reviewed in this course.
