Abstract:
With rising uncertainty associated with FCPA enforcement, this article explores the potential
development of a values based approach to combat bribery and corruption. Although this approach
requires empirical investigation, arguments suggest that organizations desiring higher ethical standards
to mitigate bribery and corruption practices should transition from compliance to values based
strategies. When leaders enact and display positive organizational values, mutual follower-leader
synergies build the foundation for more moral and ethical organizational cultures. This article explores
Values-Based Leadership as a framework to create ethical and moral corporate governance systems that
establish organizational cultures naturally resistant to bribery and corruption.
