By contrast, if a corporate culture promotes an ethos in which vices are either tacitly condoned or overtly encouraged, managers and workers are more disaffected, more counterproductive, more nihilistic, more destructive, more irresponsible, more discouraged and therefore more dysfunctional in the performance of their duties.
