Recognizing our natural tendencies in wanting to win
How then do we avoid using these ethically questionable tactics?
It is an important first step to recognize our innate self-interested nature. Increasing our self-awareness allows us to per-empt our tendencies to engage in unethical behaviors, allowing us to know how far we will go for the sake of winning. Not surprisingly, competitive individuals are more likely to engage in ethically questionable bargaining tactics than cooperative individuals (Robinson, Lewicki, and Donahue, 2000). As the incentive for winning increases, so does the likelihood for negotiators to use deception (Tenbrunsel, 1999). Interestingly, power might corrupt the thinking of the powerful, leading the more powerful to bluff more and communicate less with their counterparts who less power during a negotiation (Crott, kayser, amd Lamm, 1980).This is contrary to conventional wisdom that more powerful individuals legitimately use their objective levels of power to get what they want; rather they use unethical tactics to win, yet reaffirming the notion that the desire to win is an important precursor to unethical bargaining behavior.
