Defining employee dishonesty

Abstract

The major forms of employee dishonesty include: top management fraud, worker’s compensation fraud, and employee’s lying and theft. This article will focus on discussing these different types of dishonest behaviours, their underlying dynamics, possible solutions and preventive measures. Moreover, some typical cases in the United States like World Com fraud, workers’ compensation fraud, and some lying and stealing behaviours will be discussed. Finally, this article may help understand the importance for top management to be an ethical role model, and the importance of creating an honest and satisfactory working environment.
