How a person perceives a wrongdoing being committed by a coworker will affect whether the incident is reported within the organization. A significant factor that may influence the decision to report a wrongdoing is the perceived intentionality of the wrongdoer. This study sought to examine if differences in perceptions of a wrongdoing could affect the disclosure of unethical behavior. Three hundred seventy-two registered nurses (N=372) responded to a survey consisting of both intentional and unintentional wrongdoings that could occur by a nurse. Results of a paired t-test were as predicted. More wide ranging revelations found that respondents were more likely to discuss the unintentional wrongdoings with the wrongdoer in lieu of officially reporting to an immediate supervisor, or a member of upper management. Discussion, limitations, and suggestions for future research are provided.
一个人如何看待同事犯下的不当行为，将影响该事件是否会在组织内部被报告。可能影响报告不当行为这一决定的一个重要因素是对犯错者故意性的认知。本研究旨在检验对不当行为认知上的差异是否会影响不道德行为的披露。372名注册护士（N = 372）对一项包含护士可能出现的有意和无意不当行为的调查做出了回应。配对t检验的结果正如预期。更广泛的调查结果显示，受访者更有可能与犯错者讨论无意的不当行为，而不是正式向直属上级或高层管理人员报告。文中还提供了讨论、局限性以及对未来研究的建议。
