We study the connection between personal and professional behavior by introducing usage of a marital infidelity website as a measure of personal conduct. Police officers and financial advisors who use the infidelity website are significantly more likely to engage in professional misconduct. Results are similar for US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defendants accused of white-collar crimes, and companies with chief executive officers (CEOs) or chief financial officers (CFOs) who use the website are more than twice as likely to engage in corporate misconduct. The relation is not explained by a wide range of regional, firm, executive, and cultural variables. These findings suggest that personal and workplace behavior are closely related.
我们通过引入使用婚姻不忠网站的行为来研究个人行为和职业行为之间的联系。使用该不忠网站的警察和财务顾问更有可能从事职业不当行为。对于被指控白领犯罪的美国证券交易委员会（SEC）被告，以及其首席执行官（CEO）或首席财务官（CFO）使用该网站的公司，结果类似，这些公司从事公司不当行为的可能性要高出两倍多。这种关系不能用广泛的地区、公司、高管和文化变量来解释。这些发现表明，个人行为和工作场所行为密切相关。
