مستخلص: Why might innovative strategy trigger illegal behavior? This study considers that firms will resort to the problemistic search according to the anticipated negative feedback of the strategy rather than the actual outcomes. Using the data from World Bank Enterprises Survey, we found that investing R&D will results in bribery in developing countries, confirming that the discrepancy between the aspiration of innovation and expectation of actual achievements is the source of illegal behavior. To extend the boundary of the behavior theory of a firm (BTOF), we borrow the light from the general strain theory (GST), which identifies the other two mechanisms of illegal behavior of organizations. The results support the hypotheses that unfair strain and aspirational strain intensify the positive relationship between R&D input and bribery. However, when a firm has the experience of R&D output, it will mitigate a firm's tendency to bribe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
