Profit pressure, you say? I thought it was just the pursuit of the almighty dollar. Same difference, really.

Excessive regulatory requirements seemed to come up a lot in our studies, but I wonder if they really drive deviance as much as profit pressure does.

I'm leaning towards D) Unethical corporate culture. If the culture encourages shady practices, that seems like it would be a major driver of deviance, even more so than just profit pressure alone.
