Why do managers behave unethically?

Managers may behave unethically due to pressure to meet performance targets, a desire for personal gain, or a lack of accountability within their organization. Additionally, they may rationalize their actions by believing that unethical behavior is commonplace or that it will not have significant consequences. A toxic corporate culture can also contribute, where unethical practices are normalized or overlooked. Ultimately, these factors can lead managers to prioritize short-term success over ethical considerations.
