Table 2 conta<strong>in</strong>s <strong>the</strong> Pearson correlation analysis shows that <strong>in</strong> situational slacks, that is, where strict<br />

ethical measures were not enforced, for example <strong>the</strong> item <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> table relat<strong>in</strong>g educational status to ethical<br />

behavior shows educational level is positively and significantly related to unethical behavior. It is to be<br />

noted that all <strong>the</strong> tested hypo<strong>the</strong>ses were supported <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> predicted direction. Hypo<strong>the</strong>ses that focus on<br />

unethical were positively related to unethical behavior as predicted while those that focus on ethical<br />

issues were negatively related to unethical behavior.<br />

The implications <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gs are that policies and programs, or strategies and tactics that would be<br />

designed to change organizational member behavior should be <strong>of</strong> three broad categories: (1) those that<br />

will discourage unethical behavior through <strong>the</strong> processes <strong>of</strong> sanctions and reform <strong>of</strong> organization<br />

members’ behavior (2) Those that will reward organization member for exemplary acts <strong>of</strong> ethical<br />
