Willingness to Compete in Dirty Competitions https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izadps:dp17676&r=&r=exp
"… a substantial proportion of participants are willing to engage in dirty behavior. Across conditions, 30-40% of participants enhance their chances of winning by #sabotaging their opponent or #lying about their performance.

… People with a higher willingness to engage in dirty #competition (and lower aversion to dirty play by others) are more likely to work in a management position and less likely to work in the public sector.

People with a higher willingness to engage in dirty competition have fewer close contacts and lower self-esteem, and are more likely to experience feelings of #guilt and #shame."
