Ashley Madison Inspired Study Linking Infidelity and Workplace Misconduct

Earlier this month, Netflix debuted a new series documenting the business model and scandal related to the data breach of the Ashley Madison website, known for facilitating extramarital affairs. With the provocative slogan “Life is short. Have an affair,” Ashley Madison promises discretion to its users. However, a 2015 hack exposed the data of 36 million users, including one million paid accounts from the United States.

Following the breach, researchers scrutinized the rich dataset from the infamous Ashley Madison website. In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin revealed a striking connection between personal infidelity and professional misconduct. The study, conducted by finance faculty members John M. Griffin and Samuel Kruger, alongside Gonzalo Maturana of Emory University, demonstrates that individuals who cheat on their spouses are significantly more likely to engage in unethical behavior at work.

This paints a compelling picture: love alone does not guarantee relationship triumph.
