| Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 經營管理碩士班(行銷學程) === 104 === This survey was conducted to explore the role of transparency in decreasing unethical behaviors in Taiwanese organizations. The Ferrell and Gresham’s (1985) contingency model of decision making was implemented to understand the process individuals go through to reach their decisions. At the same time, Ferrell and Gresham’s (1985) model helps to identify the position as well as the role of transparency in the ethical decision making process of individuals. 31 unethical behaviors categorized into four groups were selected as scenarios to measure the impact of transparency in preventing four types of unethical conducts including production deviance, property deviance, political deviance and personal aggression. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire survey on 203 Taiwanese employees. The results revealed that transparency can help to reduce production deviance, political deviance and some types of personal aggression such as sexual harassment. However, the effect of transparency on property deviance was not identified. Some practical implications for managers and organizations were also included in the research.
