The results of this survey are not very surprising. An employee may experience an ethical lapse because of the fear of a negative impact on his or her job. Most people would probably tell someone else, such as a coworker or a friend, about an unethical situation at the workplace before reporting it to management. A lot of people probably would not report anything of this nature unless it affected them somehow. The downside to not reporting such behavior would be the guilt. So it is a clash of conscience and security.
