Abstract: There is insufficient information about individual’s ethical behavior in Mexican organizations and the drivers that motivate non ethical behavior. The objective of this investigation is to identify the variables that cause such unethical behavior. We found eleven variables of organizational behavior that influence individuals to engage in unethical acts. These variables are: pressure for unrealistic objectives, adverse personal situations, competition for scarce resources, individual´s professional growth, and work pressure. Despite the fact that most companies have Codes of Ethics to encourage an adequate behavior of its stakeholders, we found that none have a prevention program to avoid such unethical behaviors.
