Gold Coast Chapter Meeting – Virtual

Topic: Professional Ethics
Presenters: Dr. Alphons A. Iacobelli, DBA

Dr. Alphons A. Iacobelli will deliver an insightful session on the hidden drivers of unethical behavior within organizations—specifically, how the conduct of senior leaders can unintentionally shape, or even trigger, misconduct among subordinates. Drawing on his latest research, Dr. Iacobelli will unpack how leadership behaviors influence organizational norms through role modeling, power dynamics, and cultural cues. With a special focus on the procurement profession, he will explore the distinct ethical risks and dilemmas purchasing professionals face in today’s increasingly complex and high-pressure environments. Attendees will also gain practical tools for ethical remediation—strategies designed not just to address the visible symptoms of misconduct, but to tackle the deeper behavioral causes that allow it to take root.
