Summary
Abstract: Since the subprime mortgage crisis there has been a heightened awareness of corporate crime and its potentially devastating consequences. Further, more recent misdeeds by major corporations, like Monsanto, Boeing, and Purdue Pharma, who are accused of misleading the public and regulators regarding the danger of their products, have intensified interest in evidence-based policies to prevent organizational offending. While systematic reviews are still relatively rare in the field of corporate crime, they are used more commonly in other fields that examine organizational compliance, like Business and Psychology. This chapter focuses on the use of systematic review/meta-analysis for measuring compliance. I provide a comprehensive overview of the methodology, discuss the current use of systematic reviews for examining and measuring compliance, and review the advantages and disadvantages of systematic reviews – both in general and specifically related to compliance. Findings from the reviewed meta-analyses indicated that measurement issues were not a uniform problem across compliance research but impacted the results in certain areas such that studies that used self-report data produced different findings when compared with studies based on official data. Additionally, definitional issues were commonplace and problematic; definitional issues frequently affected the outcome. The use of various constructs for independent and dependent variables resulted in differing findings in most areas of compliance examined here. When possible, researchers are encouraged to verify measures using multiple strategies. Additionally, careful meta-analyses should continue to be used to quantify measurement and definitional issues and guide future research.
