expatriate managers working away from their ordinary social context and supporting culture

Explanation:

Enterprise managers working away from their ordinary social context and supporting culture may feel encouraged or forced to engage in unethical behavior for two primary reasons:

- Business conditions at their foreign workplace may reward unethical behavior that would otherwise be unacceptable back at home, ie. bribing political officers to get awarded government contracts, or very lax local laws regarding workplace harrassment.

- Distance from their home country may lead some managers to act as if they're away from prying eyes, thus engaging in unethical behavior because of a lack of social and legal restraints.
