Influence of Personal Control and Environmental Cue on Consumer Cheating
We examine the effect of personal control on unethical consumer behaviors. We find that individuals feeling low (vs. high) control are more likely to view unethical behaviors as acceptable (S1) and engage in cheating behaviors (S2). This is moderated by how salient individuals perceive the opportunity of cheating to be.
