Within the contemporary business sphere, the avoidance of organisational deviance is closely linked to business practice, reputation, responsibility, and the social licence to operate. This book examines organisational deviance through the lenses of motive, opportunity, and convenience, exploring its relationship to corporate social responsibility and private business self-regulation. It considers how normative pressures shape perceptions of legitimacy and influence efforts to avoid malpractice and corruption. Linking organisational deviance to established models of business legitimacy, ethical practice, and conformance, the book also examines episodes of business illegitimacy, revealing how organisations navigate the boundaries between accepted conduct and deviant behaviour.
This is an empirically and conceptually strong book which integrates the insights to criminology, psychology, organizational behaviour and ethics, framing deviance within the organizational structure and cultures. Chander Mohan Gupta, Shoolini University, India
