It suggests that organizational status is likely to be a liability than an asset when alleged violation is part of a more widespread scandal. Specifically, an alleged violation by high-status organization is more likely to be labeled as misconduct when the alleged violation is part of wider scandal compared to when it is a stand-alone violation. This is because scandal triggers socio-political mechanisms that decreases the protective benefits of status and augments the potential hazards of status, making status a liability during a widespread scandal. Focusing empirically on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as the focal social control agent and the SEC enforcement action as labeling of misconduct, we found that status in itself neither protects nor exposes organizations to the enforcement actions but that status increases the likelihood of the enforcement action when misconduct is part of a scandal.
