The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty
Tuesday, August 14, 2012 | 2 to 3:15 pm
In this thought-provoking webinar, Duke professor and New York Times bestselling author Dan Ariely challenges preconceived notions about why employees lie and cheat and what companies can do to stop it.
While we assume that people lie or cheat based on a rational cost-benefit analysis, Dan Ariely’s research demonstrates that unconscious irrational forces often determine whether we behave ethically or not. His research also shows that lying or cheating is not confined to a few “bad apples” but instead that many people will lie or cheat under certain circumstances. In this webinar, he will examine:
- The contradictory forces that drive people to lie or cheat while maintaining the belief that they are honest
- How certain business practices pave the way for unethical behavior, intentionally and unintentionally
- How collaboration with colleagues can make us more dishonest
- How unethical behavior can be contagious
- Why the chances of getting caught does not impact the likelihood of cheating as much as you would think
- Why typical employee ethics training programs are unlikely to be effective
- How company codes of ethics can be used to improve employee honesty
- What actions companies can take to promote more honest and ethical behavior
Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University. He is the author of the recently published book, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, and the New York Times bestsellers Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality.
