“…It would seem that indirect questioning may offer researchers an alternative method for measuring sensitive constructs insofar as it (a) resulted in the highest reports of CWB in this study and (b) returns individual-level data. Conceptually, the indirect questioning method shares similarities to disguised purpose tests (Cronbach, 1970) and covert/personality-based integrity tests (e.g., Frost & Rafilson, 1989). Both of these methods attempt to measure constructs without explicitly asking respondents about their behaviors and have shown some efficacy at measuring their intended constructs (Frost & Rafilson, 1989) and are less able to be distorted (Alliger, Lilienfeld, & Mitchell, 1996).…”

Sensitive constructs, such as counterproductive workplace behavior (CWB), are of interest to both basic and applied researchers; however, deliberate response distortions—active attempts on the part of respondents to be viewed more favorably—present a major difficulty with studying these topics. Although different methodologies purported to reduce distortions have been developed, they suffer from various limitations. For example, a notable limitation of what is currently considered best practice, randomized response techniques, is the inability to gather individual-level data. Across three experiments, we compare four different methods for obtaining self-reports of CWB that return individual-level data. Results suggest that whereas providing anonymity, counterbiasing, and implicit goal priming did not result in higher reporting of sensitive behaviors, the indirect questioning methodology did result in higher reporting. We also provide initial validity evidence for the indirect questioning scores and rule out some alternative explanations for the increased reporting of the indirect questioning method. Though more research is needed, these studies provide initial evidence regarding the potential utility of the indirect questioning method for increasing the reports on self-report measures of sensitive constructs.

“…Studies focusing on corruption as a “state” or “bad apples” examine the causes linked to individual attributes, such as lack of integrity (Frost & Rafilson, 1989), ethical ideologies (Fernando, Dharmage & Almeida, 2008), moral identity (Chowdhury & Fernando, 2014; Reed & Aquino, 2003), self‐control (Marcus & Schuler, 2004), empathy (Eisenberg, 2000), and low levels of cognitive moral development (Weber & Wasieleski, 2001). The above scholarly work suggests that corruption can be avoided if corrupt individuals are kept away from organisations (Ashforth et al, 2008).…”

Summary With the increasing number of ethical violations reported across the public sector, the emphasis on ethics and values in governance is on the rise. Corruption is widely accepted as a form of unethical behaviour that can have detrimental effects on organisations as well as society at large. Research calls for empirical studies focusing on the contextual factors surrounding corruption. Based on the Contextually Based Human Resource Theory and using the case study method, this paper examines the role of context through a systematic analysis of corruption in a public sector organisation. We integrate corruption and human resource literature to understand employee behaviour, employee relations, HRM strategies, and organisational outcomes in the context of organisational corruption.

“…The same misconception applies to their acceptance of the analysis by Frost and Rafilson (1989) comparing the correlations of overt and personality-based integrity tests with a self-report of theft activity. The resulting higher coefficient for overt tests was given as proof of greater validity.…”
