First, the bad news: According to the 2011 National Business Ethics Survey, nearly half of American business employees observed either ethical or legal violations at their workplace. Actually, that's good news: it's about the lowest level reported.
The really good news is that about two-thirds of those who witnessed violations reported them. But then there's more bad news: about one in five of those who reported violations experienced some form of retaliation, up sharply from previous years. In addition, pressure on employees to cut corners and compromise ethical standards is at an all-time high.
The Ethics Resource Center conducts the Business Ethics Survey every two years. The press release is available here, and the full downloadable report is available here.
