I doubt that many employees actually pay attention to the amount of time they waste at work and how this affects productivity. I doubt even more that these employees would consider themselves as "thieves of time." But just as we are all sometimes liars, many of us are also thieves of time. But, to be truthful, we typically don't give this even the slightest of thought. In fact, I am certain that most employees consider themselves to be honest, hardworking employees who put in a hard day's work and are loyal to their employers.
I honestly don't think most employees realize what constitutes theft from the workplace and how they might be cheating their employer of productivity. I also don't think most employees realize the full impact on an organization of their behaviour and even more so,...

Today's assessment tools are so extremely accurate that in at least one example, 86 per cent of the counterproductive workers failed an assessment focused on identifying traits such as conscientiousness, integrity and dependability. Without these tools, companies are very vulnerable to workplace violence, fraud and theft.
How are today's pre-employment selection tools developed and what do they consist of? Most assessment tools are backed by years of research into personality and work performance. The questions used in the survey are tested for what is called internal consistency reliability, which means that each of the different scales has to be proven to predict job-related outcomes. As well, these selection tools are tested for validity; in other words, they have proven that compani...

At the same time, it seems that many sophisticated white-collar fraudsters are repeat offenders who bear no personal shame and who seem to continually progress in organizational leadership roles, only to steal again. If you are like me, I've often wondered, "Why do people do this, why do they steal or commit fraud or engage in such unethical behaviour? How can they live with themselves?
For the most part, according to Dr. [Charles D. Kerns, PhD], a professor at Pepperdine University in California, unethical leaders engage in "mental gymnastics." They don't have a sense of wisdom, personal self-control, or a sense of justice. Instead, they play mind games that support and sustain their self-serving, unethical behaviour. Some of these mind games include:

Characterizing perceived injustice as a form of stress, we examined the main and interactive relationships among interactional, procedural, and distributive injustice and psychological strain while controlling for job insecurity. Using moderated multiple regression analysis with a sample of 1,083 government employees, we show that interactional, procedural, and distributive injustice are all unique predictors of psychological strain that account for significant unique variance beyond that explained by job insecurity. Those individuals who perceive more interactional, procedural, or distributive injustice at work reported a higher degree of strain. However, there were no significant interactive effects, suggesting that these three categories of perceived injustice do not interact to pred...
