From the Paper:

"Ethical decisions are not just left to the managers of an organization; many organizations offer ethical training classes to help all its employees make ethically sound decisions. According to Bateman, T. & Snell, S. (2004), there are two ethic programs that organization follow, compliance-based and integrity-based programs. Compliance-based programs are organizational mechanisms that are typically designed by and organization's corporate counsel to prevent, detect, and punish legal violations. Integrity-based programs are organizational mechanisms that are designed to instill in its employees a personal responsibility for ethical behavior. It would be in the best interest of an organization to use both programs, as an organization must have a way to detect unethical behavior and know that the majority of its employees have a personal responsibility for ethical behavior."
