Scandal prevention through a moral work environment: Case Study from Thailand
2017
Purpose
This case study aims to describe a set of human resources practices that can help prevent major scandals that would ruin the reputation of an organization.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors performed an in-depth case study of a standardized testing company, which has operated in Thailand for decades without a major cheating scandal.
Findings
Referrals-only recruitment, salient moral and religious cues in the workplace, and credible threats of punishments are the key tools the company has used to guard against cheating.
Research limitations/implications
The company’s practices are only appropriate in the context of a collectivist and culturally-homogeneous environment.
Originality/value
This case study represents an original and practical contribution to scandal-prevention strategies.
