it is especially interesting to note the work of Ho 2003 who found that the method of distribution is crucial in determining the impact of the code on behavior. For example, Ho found that skepticism can be contagious if an employee receives a code from a skeptical colleague. Similarly, Trevino et al. 1998 found that if an employee feels that he is merely following the instructions of a supervisor, then he will not feel responsible for the consequences of his actions. The relationship also works the other way so that if both supervisor and worker consider the other to be responsible for unethical actions, then ethical responsibility is undermined.
