Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how The Securities Exchange Commission is charged with the overseeing of the stock exchange and that includes the investigations of alleged insider trading practices. It discusses how in recent years the SEC has evaluated and reformed many of its organizational behaviors for the purpose of trying to curb the much-publicized insider trading cases that it has had to handle. It examines some of these changes in its organizational behavior such as the even distribution of commissioners from the Democratic and Republican political parties to protect the SEC from being accused of being driven by partisan desires and changes in employee conditions.

From the Paper:

"The SC has over 3,000 staff members throughout the United States. They are charged with overseeing the activities and transactions of more than 14,000 companies. This included 700,000 representatives that are registered through the SEC and over 8,000 brokers or dealers of stock(Boodhoo, 2001). There are 30,000 investment portfolios that are also a part of what the commission must oversee and guide. The organizational behavior and culture of the SEC seems to drive staff members to other agencies or civilian companies according to many experts in the field. The low pay, high stress, overwork, and political ramifications often prove to be overwhelming."
