本文以商学院研究为例，探讨了鼓励研究不端行为的压力和激励因素沿着后果。利用不同的理论方法来分析组织的不当行为的文献回顾，我们开发了一个正式的分类区分适当的行为公然不当行为，但具体侧重于这些极端之间的“灰色”区域的形式有问题的和不适当的行为。我们确定了研究不当行为的各种来源和受影响的不同类别。其目的是更清楚地了解哪些研究行为被认为是适当的，哪些利益攸关方受到影响，以及可能加剧这种不当行为的压力和激励措施。最后，我们讨论了分类法如何帮助塑造未来良好的研究实践（从而为学生树立一个更好的榜样），并为未来的研究提供了一些建议。
This paper examines the growing pressures and incentives encouraging research misconduct, along with the consequences, as illustrated by the case of business school research. Drawing on a review of the literature on different theoretical approaches to analysing organizational misconduct, we develop a formal taxonomy distinguishing appropriate conduct from blatantly inappropriate misconduct but with a specific focus on the 'grey' areas between these extremes in the form of questionable and inappropriate behaviour. We identify various sources of research misbehaviour and different categories of those affected. The aim is to provide a clearer understanding of what research behaviour is deemed appropriate or not, which stakeholders it affects, and the pressures and incentives likely to exacerbate such misconduct. We conclude with a discussion of how the taxonomy can help shape future good research practice (thereby setting a better example to students), and offer some propositions for future research.
