Misconduct | Serial cheaters more likely to break workplace rules

People who are unfaithful to their partners may all have one thing in common, as new research has found that infidelity and professional misconduct are closely linked.

Researchers from the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas, Austin looked at the records of police officers, financial advisers, white-collar criminals and senior execs who used the Ashley Madison marital infidelity website.

Back in August 2015 the website hit headlines after users’ details were hacked, exposing the names of around 39million customers, the Independent reported.

The study titled Personal Infidelity and Professional Conduct in 4 Settings discovered that the website’s users in the professional settings they studied were more than twice as likely to engage in corporate misconduct.
