“…L. Piquero and Piquero (2006) similarly found that control surpluses were predictive of exploitive behavior in a corporate setting. Recent research from Hunt and Topalli (2018), using a large data set of corporate fraud cases in the United States, indicated that control surpluses were related to autonomous forms of deviance (e.g., organizational policy violations), whereas control deficits were related to repressive forms of deviance (e.g., theft, forgery, identity theft). This finding is similar to research from N.…”

The use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) is one of the most important issues in the world of sports. At its very heart, this issue speaks to athletic integrity and competitive fairness. When athletes engage in doping, they are committing acts of deviance. The main purpose of this research, accordingly, is to explain why athletes use illegal PEDs. Specifically, we use Tittle’s control balance theory as a conceptual framework. A sample of 852 professional athletes from Iran was used to test assumptions related to control balance theory, and the findings of the study generally indicated that the components of control balance theory predicted athletes’ doping behavior. In addition, the moderating relationships of the control balance model indicated that the relationship between the control deficit and PED use was moderated by the variance in self-control, opportunity, motivation, constraint, perceived benefits, and provocations. Specific results, policy implications, and study limitations are discussed.

“…Control imbalances have been identified in prior research as a consistent predictor of general criminal behavior (e.g., Hughes, Antonaccio, & Botchkovar, 2015; Hunt & Topalli, 2018; Nobles & Fox, 2013; A. R. Piquero & Hickman, 1999), as well as of drug use (Baron, 2010).…”

“…306), pseudo-R 2 s are considerably lower than traditional R 2 s, so that values of .2 to .4 "represent excellent fit". There are different types of pseudo-R 2 statistics, but in general, pseudo-R 2 s below .10 are often reported in criminology (e.g., Andersen 2015;Berg et al 2016), including research on corporate deviance (Hunt and Topalli 2018). Again, we elaborate more on these model statistics in the "Overview of the Results" section.…”

Industry Self-regulation Under Government Intervention

Objective Industry actors (organizations, associations) can influence the way in which firms comply with regulations. This study examines how this influence process is affected by government intervention. Methods Using official, anonymized data from the entire industry of financial intermediation in the Netherlands (N = 8655 firms), we examine how firms' affiliations with industry actors relate to (1) voluntary actions aligned with improving regulatory compliance (e.g., requesting audits, attending workshops), and (2) law violations. Industry actors are distinguished between trade associations and the industry's self-regulatory organization (SRO), which is subject to more government intervention. The analysis employs Poisson regressions to explain count variables, and bootstrapping to assess indirect associations. A series of robustness tests focus on relevant sub-samples, employ exact matching to address possible self-selection, and incorporate lagged dependent variables. Results The association between affiliations with industry actors and law violations is negative and significant. This association is more indirect for trade associations than for the SRO (i.e., it is more strongly mediated by the voluntary actions firms take and which help to improve compliance). Conclusions These findings go in line with the theory that government intervention makes industry-self regulation more mandated and less voluntary. Under less government intervention, industry actors may promote more voluntary efforts to comply.
