Why is it important?

this is the first study to empirically prove the 'specific' deterrent effect of punishment, which means that organizational countermeasures can suppress the re-occurrence of violation acts that had been committed previously. Also, this study assures the necessity of cross-cultural studies focusing on the effect of employees' position (hierarchical ranks in one's firm).
