Resumo: | In this theoretical essay, we present a reflection on organizational irregularities (wrongdoing), considering ethics and morality from a sociological perspective, and exploring the rules used to guide human behavior in organizational decision-making. To this end, we reviewed the dominant and emerging sociological perspectives for organizational wrongdoing; behavioral ethics; and the rationalization of unethical behavior in organizations. In this reflection, we move away from the implicit thought that the organization's participants are regulated only by external control agents and from the dichotomous view of ethical decisions and call the attention for a third alternative: that of socially justified choices, which are a new possibility of analyzing wrongdoing, still poorly understood and with implications for organizational theory. |

Con este fin, revisamos las perspectivas sociológicas dominantes y emergentes para las irregularidades organizacionales; ética del comportamiento; y la racionalización del comportamiento poco ético en las organizaciones. En esta reflexión, nos alejamos del pensamiento implícito de que los participantes de la organización están regulados únicamente por agentes de control externos y de la visión dicotómica de las decisiones éticas, y llamamos la atención por una tercera alternativa: la de las elecciones socialmente justificadas, que son una nueva posibilidad de analizar las irregularidades, aún poco comprendidas y con implicaciones para la teoría organizacional.Neste ensaio teórico, apresentamos uma reflexão sobre irregularidades organizacionais (wrongdoing), tratando ética e moralidade a partir de uma perspectiva sociológica, explorando as regras que atores constroem para orientar seu comportamento no ambiente organizacional. Teoricamente, nos baseamos em uma revisão não exaustiva sobre as perspectivas sociológicas dominantes e emergentes para organizational wrongdoing; ética comportamental; e a racionalização do comportamento antiético nas organizações. Nessa reflexão, nos afastamos do pensamento implícito de que os participantes da organização são regulados, apenas, por agentes de controle externos e da visão dicotômica das decisões éticas, concedendo um papel protagonista para uma terceira alternativa: a das escolhas justificáveis socialmente, que constitui uma nova possibilidade de análise do wrongdoing, ainda pouco compreendida e com implicações à teoria organizacional.FEAAC/UFC2021-02-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/ziphttp://periodicos.ufc.br/contextus/article/view/6143510.19094/contextus.2021.61435Contextus - Contemporary Journal of Economics and Management; Vol 19: jan/dec 2021; 29-39Contextus – Revista Contemporánea de Economía y Gestión; Vol. 19: jan/dez 2021; 29-39Contextus – Revista Contemporânea de Economia e Gestão; v. 19: jan/dez 2021; 29-392178-92581678-2089reponame:Contextus (Fortaleza.
