公司违法行为研究者经常坚持认为，当各种因素迫使一家公司采取违法行为时，不法行为就会发生，导致管理人员做出理性的决定来实施不法行为。然而，公司的违法性也是机会和倾向条件的结果，它可能是公司行为的意外结果。本文提出了一个企业违法行为的多变量模型，在该模型中，情境因素（压力、机会或倾向）导致了企业的无意和有意违法行为。该模型区分了故意和无意的非法活动，并承认故意违法行为是由从事不法行为的决定造成的，因此个人决策者的特征会影响不法行为的可能性。这个模型的研究人员和管理人员的影响进行了讨论。
Corporate illegality researchers often maintain that wrongdoing occurs when factors pressure a firm to behave illegally, leading managers to make a rational decision to commit wrongdoing. Yet, corporate illegality results also from conditions of opportunity and predisposition, and it may be an unintended outcome of corporate actions. A multivariate model of corporate illegality is proposed, in which situational factors-conditions of pressure, opportunity, or predisposition-lead to unintentional and intentional illegality. The model distinguishes between intentional and unintentional illegal activities, and it recognizes that intentional illegality results from a decision to engage in wrongdoing, so characteristics of the individual decision maker affect the likelihood of wrongdoing. Implications of this model for researchers and managers are discussed.
