Ivan Richard · Answer 1

Conflict of Interest

Explanation:

The reason is that if the person starts valuing its personal interests more than the company's interest then the person is acting in his personal interest and this is not a professional behavior. A professional person always eliminates his personal interest and always act in the best interest of the professional. So here, purchasing agent is acting in her own personal interest and this is because of the conflict of interest with the company's values and interest.
