This article advances a public health model of ethics and compliance. It argues that corporate leaders should draw from the successful lessons of public health to promote ethical behavior more effectively in their companies. With its attention to data-driven risk mitigation and behaviorally cognizant processes, a public health model can move compliance from the faulty assumption on which it is based, that is, that organizational wrongdoing can be deterred solely through appeals to the rational decision-making processes of employees, to a more accurate understanding of the situational and social influences that foster noncompliance. The article supports its thesis in three parts. It begins by explaining the evolution of compliance and its transition from overly legalistic to behaviorally aware. Next, it draws on behavioral ethics and network research to make the connection between public health and compliance. Third, it explores how corporate leaders can meld the insights from these two disciplines, offering a new way of approaching ethics and compliance that is focused on behavioral ethics conduct risk and the practical application of behavioral science within the firm—the best way to improve the legal, ethical, and financial health of companies.

领导更健康的公司：推进道德与合规的公共卫生模式

本文提出了一种道德和合规的公共卫生模型。它认为，企业领导者应该从公共卫生的成功经验中吸取教训，以更有效地促进公司的道德行为。通过关注数据驱动的风险缓解和行为认知过程，公共卫生模型可以将合规性从它所基于的错误假设中转移，也就是说，可以仅通过诉诸理性决策过程来阻止组织的不法行为员工，以更准确地了解助长违规行为的情境和社会影响。文章分三个部分支持其论点。它首先解释了合规性的演变及其从过度法律主义到行为意识的转变。下一个，它利用行为伦理和网络研究在公共卫生和合规性之间建立联系。第三，它探讨了企业领导者如何融合这两个学科的见解，提供一种处理道德和合规的新方法，该方法专注于行为道德行为风险和行为科学在公司内的实际应用——这是提高道德和合规性的最佳方法。公司的法律、道德和财务状况。
