According to research conducted by the Ethics Resource Center, mid-level managers were found to experience the most pressure to act unethically. This may be due to the fact that they are often caught between upper management's expectations and the demands of their teams. Additionally, they may feel they have less power and autonomy compared to higher-level executives, but more responsibility compared to lower-level employees.
