What motivates an employee to falsify documents?

Employees may be motivated to falsify documents due to pressure to meet performance targets, fear of job loss, or the desire for personal gain, such as bonuses or promotions. Additionally, a toxic workplace culture that prioritizes results over ethics can create an environment where unethical behavior is normalized or overlooked. Personal circumstances, such as financial distress, can also drive individuals to make unethical decisions. Ultimately, a lack of accountability and oversight can further encourage this behavior.
