Analogy Employee theft is very serious. Thirty percent of businesses fail because of employee theft (Kulas, McInnerney, DeMuth, & Jadwinski, 2007 as cited in Geesey & Rocha, 2012). The research also states the factors that affect employee theft to include the workplace environment, employee age, employee gender, and employee’s tendencies to steal. According to Moorthy, Seetharaman, Arokiasamy, & Marimuthu (2010), employees with a lower stake in a company have a higher tendency to steal.
Teenage pregnancies occur due to various reasons some of which include social pressure, coerced sexual relations, and lack of information and availability of contraceptives (UNICEF, 2012). It is such a huge problem because of its ability to affect the growth of a community and the world at large. Poverty, reduced health, and maternal mortality result from teenage pregnancy (Gennari, 2013). The similarity between both employee theft and teenage pregnancy is a lack of self-control (Geesey & Rocha, 2012). “People committing crimes and analogous behaviors in adolescence and in adulthood start manifesting conduct problems early in life,” (Pratt & Cullen 2000, p.932 as cited in Geesey & Rocha, 2012).
Employee theft in the past was largely ignored, however, it is now controlled and prevented through proper planning and execution (Geesey & Rocha, 2012). Small business owners and managers have been in charge of such planning and execution because of the impact of employee theft on the company’s bottom line. A major reduction in theft rate is through proactively checking for and punishing acts of thefts (Moorthy, Seetharaman, Arokiasamy, & Marimuthu, 2010). According to Geesy & Rocha (2012), employee background check, theft insurance, internal auditing and anonymous reporting system were other ways employers dealt with theft.
The city of Milwaukee is proactively dealing with teenage pregnancy by including a sexuality curriculum for all students in every grade, and involving parents and the community at large with an aim to inform the public about the disadvantages of teenage pregnancy (Azar, 2012).
