los puede inducir a hacer malos procedimientos. may lead them to proceed in an improper manner. Explanation: Or, if you prefer something more literal: may lead them to engage in improper procedures. The basic idea is that the pressure that has been mentioned may lead the employees to behave in a manner not in accordance with the regulations of their employer. The problem with "inappropriately" seems to me that it runs the risk of trivializing the conduct in question, given that the word is often used to refer to fairly minor offenses, and the context here suggests a reference to more serious misconduct. |
