Bethany works for FastFashion Inc. which has set the same sales target for all employees in their 550 stores across the globe. The company fails to take into account any environmental constraints which might hamper sales and to avoid being penalized, employees often falsify their sales reports. What is triggering the employees' unethical behavior?

The correct answer is: the fact that the company is not having in mind the environmental constraints.

Explanation:

In this case, where the company has sales target and therefore that the employees must complete a certain amount of sales at the end of the month in order to accomplish with their regular tasks and get payed by the organization, it is most probably that the workers might tend to the unethical behavior of falsify their sales reports when they do not reach their target goal due to the fact that they will be afraid of losing their jobs and even more the fact that the company is not aware of the constraints that the environment could bring to the sales then that makes everything more difficult inside the organization.

Unrealistic performance target/goal

Explanation:

An unrealistic performance goal is a target that is not attainable under a normal circumstance due to its failure to consider the available level of resources, unforeseen circumstances and the nature of different environments of operation.

Setting of the same sales target by FastFashion Inc. for all employees in their 550 stores across the world without considering environmental constraints which might hamper sales is makes the sales target an unrealistic performance target.

Therefore, the unrealistic sales target triggers the employees' unethical behaviour.
