As always, it boils down to incentives and rule enforcement and this affects humans too.

e.g. when Bank of America rewarded employees for getting customers to open accounts, BoA employees started opening fake accounts

The reverse is also true:

There are stories of navy ships running aground because the captain said "I'm going to my stateroom and don't wake me for any reason". There is some problem and the subordinates are so scared to wake the captain for a decision that they end up steering the ship into a sandbar.
