I wonder if one could find more credible signals of things like “caring for your employers”, ideally in statistical form. Money invested in worker safety might be one such metric.
That seems reasonable. Another possibility is looking at benefits, which have grown rapidly (though there are also many confounders here).
Something which I can’t easily measure but seems more robust is the fraction of “iterated games”. E.g. I would expect enterprise salespeople to be less malevolent than B2C ones (at least towards their customers), because successful enterprise sales relies on building relationships over years or decades. Similarly managers are often recruited and paid well because they have a loyal team who will go with them, and so screwing over that team is not in their self-interest.
