For-profit institutions of higher education have been criticized for placing shareholder profits over the well-being of their students. Admissions teams have been at the center of these criticisms for using predatory marketing and fraudulent statistics to encourage enrollment, but the industry as a whole has been criticized for poor retention, low graduation rates, and unchecked student loan debt. The current study addressed the problem of unethical recruitment practices by for-profit admissions teams, driven by organizational culture and leadership, working against the achievement of institutional student success outcomes as measured by student retention, graduation, and loan repayment rates. Stakeholder theory and the responsible leadership model were used to conceptualize a relationship between organizational culture, leadership, and ethical behaviors resulting in increases in retention, graduation, and student loan repayment rates. Using a quantitative, correlational design, the study examined stakeholder culture, responsible leadership behaviors, and ethical behaviors in admissions personnel to determine whether they predicted institutional student success outcomes. Admissions personnel from for-profit institutions were solicited through groups on LinkedIn.com to participate in an online survey consisting of the Unethical Pro-Organizational Behaviors Scale and the Stakeholder Culture and Responsible Leadership subscales of the Responsible Leadership Survey. Individual for-profit school outcome data were collected from the Integrated Post-Secondary Data System and the Cohort Default Rate Database. Data analysis was conducted using Weighted Least Squares because the collected data did not meet the assumptions of the linear regression model. In the sample, stakeholder culture was correlated with both responsible leadership and ethical behaviors, and responsible leadership was correlated with ethical behaviors. Contrary to the hypothesized relationships, stakeholder culture did not significantly predict institutional student success scores, nor did responsible leadership or ethical behaviors. These findings suggest the presence of confounding variables, e.g., school size or governance type, impacting the achievement of institutional student success outcomes. Future research should focus on the possible influence of for-profit school size and governance model on stakeholder culture, responsible leadership, and ethical behaviors on the achievement on industry standard institutional student success outcomes.
