This paper aims to quantitatively examine the relationship between the presence of organizational scandals within the last one year and organizational traits. A web survey of people working in organization was conducted to clarify this relationship. First, we conducted factor analyses of items related to organizational traits and found five factors(egocentricity, rigidity, fairness, openness/diversity, and legal and safety compliances). Then, logistic regression analyses were conducted using basic information of the respondents and their organizations(age, gender, type of business, size of organization, years of establishment, years of service with them, and position), TIPI-J, the scale of person-oriented climate, the five factors related to organizational traits, and their interactions as explanatory variables, and the presence of organizational scandals within the past year where the respondents worked as the objective variable. The results showed a positive association for “egocentricity” and a negative association for “legal and safety compliances” among the organizational traits. In addition, interactions were found between “egocentricity” and “rigidity,” and “fairness” and “openness/diversity.” In the future, it will be necessary to examine more detailed relationships using longitudinal data and differences by types of organizational scandals, as well as how the findings can be used in practice.
